I am looking at that now.  Does anyone know if it is one of the ALPS switches that can be easily modified to become a linear switch?

I was told some ALPS switches can become linear by removing a small part.  If this is one of those keyboards then I am interested to try it!

I don't suppose anyone knows where I could find a force graph of that switch after the modification to become linear?

Anyone knows any mods to soften the impact of bottoming out the keys (crashing)?
