Title: Frankenstein Alps switch I made...
Post by: jksteger on Thu, 11 April 2013, 10:02:27
I ordered a Dell 101w keyboard with black Alps and then I ordered a SGI keyboard with what looks like white Alps switches.  I then opened up the black Alps and removed the spring, slider and the buckling leaf.  Then I placed those parts in the SGI white alps and OMG  :eek: :eek: I cannot believe the difference!  Smooth as silk, pressed in the middle or offset on the edge!  I'm not sure what this combination would be called but I's awesome!
