As we know, The Universal Alps PCB do Not exist by now.
When New Alps PCB comes on earth,
Everyone may enjoy the breeze and coolness on The Mt. Alps .
" Do we need ALPS ? "
The PCB will be compatible for : Apple, Dell, SGI, LeadingEdge ... ANSI + ISO
The PCBs will be 60% 87% etc.

Yes this is what we need!
You know you can count me in for multiple units. :D

Put me down for 2. :-*

i would take 2 or 3 for sure

Are there available keysets for alp switches? This is my only worry.

If you have a single nice board, and a set of SW, We might transform them into a Alps mini and a KeyPad.
Just Keycaps and stabilizers fly back and pro like Angels. The original board intact!
Hope I ain't insane. ~~

Far from it, friend. That is EXACTLY what we want. :D

I'd love to put my green ALPS on something that isn't a trash ducky.
I'd be in for at least one.

How about a GB for keycap set from SP?

If you want original Alps you will need to harvest them from a board.
However, Matias produce Alps-style switches that will work on this PCB.

I think i'd be interested in one of these...i could use it with my poker case :p

I'd agree here, no offense moz, but look at your sig

Yes please! I want this so badly

I would definitely be in for at least one if I have the money at the time.
-
calavera is interested in rebooting his IC himself, so that is good news for this project.
-

Same for me. Some sort of keyset to accompany the board would help too (so I don't have to go hunting for an old board to harvest keys from).
-
we need to get with matias and see when they will be making key caps and what their capabilities will be.
-
Does it have a fn layer, primary layer fully programmable?
-
If it's compatible with Apple keycaps/stabs I'm in. Much, much, much prefer those to the AT101W keycaps.
edit: Where will the plate come from?

Sure ! As You know, The Fn Layer is an easy Job. Already well-established in PCB world. :)

I was waiting for the stabs decision in order to review the PCB ...
Calavera?

Alps Keycaps? Oh! Good News! :)

The Case design will be an Homage to Palo Alto. Compatible with 60% Poker, Sir ! :)
Price = will be very Reasonable, but at this moment, pending. Next month will be announced!

I were working into the calavera GH60 Alps version - however this reboot that you guys mentioned above hinted me that it will be aborted - not sure ...
Anyway, IF calavera's project is really going to be aborted I'll definitely have some time to help in this new one!
-
I happen to come to GH, partly because of the calavera's GH60 Alps and Keycaps projects
I googled, found his project..... surely one of my motivation to join GH.
I am very grateful for all helps and warm words !! I love GH as much as KBD :-*
-
In for an ISO one
-
Yeah, I'm not missing out on another 60% Alps keyboard. Still sad I missed out on the Duck Mini2.
I'm in!

Thank You Very Much Sir!
As We had lots of Bitter Experiences these Days ;
Cherry + Alps Fusions on a PCB causes Huge PCB + Plate Design Obstacles.
Let the ALPS have Their Own Way of Life !
Let Alps have much more Flexibility to Embrace most of It's own Brothers : The Warriors in Golden Days !
Dell, Apple, Omnikey, SGI, LeadingEdge ... and abundant siblings, cousins, compatibles !
We Loved You So Much Then, miss You Deadly !

I can understand that decision sprit. The Duck Mini2 PCB looks pretty complex and simple always works better. I like the PCB being Alps only :D. I'm going to put some Apple AEK caps on mine!!
-
Wow! You are Apple Lover ! Honored To Meet You Sir !
I Love to be here GH !! as much as KBDmania.
-
You can put me down for one, maybe two, depending on the price.
-
Switches ordered from 7bit. Clicky ofcourse.
Now we need keycaps and this PCB

Thank You MOZ! it is Alps ? Clicky? :)

Yes Matias Clicky.

Yes Matias Clicky.
Good Job!! pro 3 ? Quiet? Sir !
-
Just ordered the Matias Clicky switches loose from 7bit over at DT. He is still selling them.
-
I'd be interested in one for sure.
-
So, similar to the Cherry-only 60%, does this support a shorter right-shift so an extra keyswitch can be put in?
If every available hole is filled with a switch, how many keys will this board provide?

Definitely! Sir ! 진실로! Absoluto !
-
I'd be in for 1x ANSI/ISO PCB. Hopefully Matias will have keycap sets available sometime in the near future:
However, we're gearing up to make it easier to do custom projects. We're doing new keycap tooling, and will be making keycap sets available.
Thanks, we're pretty excited about it too. We've been working on this for months. It was a much bigger undertaking than I expected.
We'd actually finished all the drawings for standard caps some time ago, but then re-considered and decided to go for thicker caps instead... which meant we had to do it all again. :eek:
Please include swappable CONTROL and CAPS LOCK keycaps in your future keycap sets.
Of course, will do.
-
What I see in this Pic is Apple AEK, Old Dell, AT101 ... ANSI + ISO
[attachimg=1]
-
Time Will Tell? Yes It Will !
-
alright, I've decided. Of the PCB interest-check threads you've started, this is the board I'm getting. In addition to not having any 1st hand experience with ALPS style switches (but wanting to) The path to my ErgoDox+Cherry board is clearing up ... this will be my gaming board, I think. Novel writing on the 'dox.
Anyway this has a higher MOQ and you won't have any trouble selling the other two MX boards.
-
MOQ changed to 50 PCBs. due to 60% MX success
The Work on Plate / Case Release Candidate will start ! Promise !
-
i would certainly be interested....

Interested.
-
i said with you before. I really like your PCB design :P
-
I'd almost certainly get at least one, but I'm still interested in the price.
-
The Price Will be Exactly same as 60% Cherry MX.
PCB - Plate - Case : Exactly Same ! Promise.
The Alps Switch : Cherry MX availability and price issue remains, but as we konw, it's not a big deal at all !
-
I've already got tactile switches coming in from one source, and since your thread at the start didn't mention a case, I've got a metal case that will be coming from the other GB with an inexpensive metal case ... so in my case, I just need the PCB proper. Though I don't doubt many people going into this GB will be grateful for you providing an entire keyboard kit.

Thank For Your Precious Comments and Advises!! I Really Love Your Points and Insights!
As You mentioned, the Universal PCB does not exist by now.
So It's the Top Priority in Our Mission.
When We get The Final Release Candidate PCB, We got nearly All.
When 60% Alps comes on earth,
Everyone may enjoy the breeze and coolness on The Mt. Alps .

I'm used to the modern ANSI 87 key layout which has the 6.25x spacebar. Typically my knee jerk repsonse is to go with the 6.25x. I think here it should be 6.25x so the caps you guys provide can fit on sprit's 60% Alps, the Filco Zero, Duck Mini V2, Ducky 1087XM, and other future Modern ANSI Alps layouts.
[attachurl=1]
I agree 100% for sure!
The bottom Row needs to embrace 101 and 104 key Layouts (ANSI = ISO in most cases).
Supporting for the WK, WKL, Apple, HHKB is actually an easy mission, as we seen My 60% Cherry MX PCB.
For the Alps, there is another Issue, as we terribly aware of it, space bars... stabilizers, Caps, Enter....
My Fellow GH members! We may find a way to make it simple,
Let's Start from Dell, SGI, and bunch of 101, 104 first, and accommodate some other Variables.. within Our very Best.
A New GB for Keycaps might follow the PCB, in my humble Opinion. We have enough time to fix the PCB.
I Should confess I am a new comer, not in the tracks of You Guys, But I feel like to say a Word : I Love You Guys, I Respect You So Much!
That's why I have Joined and Happy in GH.

Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo giusto, 나는 꿈속에서 올곧고 바른 세계를 본다
Lo tutti vivono in pace e in onesta. 그곳에는 모두 평화롭고 정직하게 살아간다
Io sogno d"anime che sono sempre libere, 내 꿈에서 나는 항상 자유롭게 살수 있다
Come le nuvole che volano, 구름이 흐르는 것과 같이
Pien" d"umanita in fondo l"anima. 마음 속 깊은 곳의 휴머니즘
Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo chiaro, 나는 환상 속에서 빛나는 세계를 본다
Li anche la notte e meno oscura. 절대 암흑 같지 않은 밤
Io sogno d"anime che sono sempre libere, 내 영혼의 꿈은 항상 자유롭다
Come le nuvole che volano. 구름이 떠다니는 것 같이
Nella fantasia esiste un vento caldo, 내 환상에는 따뜻한 바람이 있다
Che soffia sulle citta, come amico. 친구와 같은 도시안에서 숨쉬는 것 같이,
Io sogno d"anime che sono sempre libere, 내 영혼의 꿈은 항상 자유롭다

When PCBs for 60% , 75% and 87 Tenkeyless are Full Ready, I will post them Soon.
The cases for PCBs are same as Cherry MX 60% , 75% and 87 Tenkeyless cases, I've Posted.
And The Alps Plate will be Ready soon. I will follow GH Plate Concepts.
I Love GH Plates! :thumb:
-
I will order 3
-
ALPS 60 75 87 100% will be ready soon.

I'm interested in a Alps PCB and possible a case! One question though, will the Alps PCB be backlight compatible? Thanks Sprit!

Considering the preponderance of LEDs on his example images, and the video he linked where the entire keyboard lit up like a christmas tree as the user typed, I'm better than 9/10ths sure you can litter LEDs to your heart's content on his PCB -- even the ALPS one.

Was going to jump on this, but decided to wait for the Alps!

I'd get one for sure and maybe two.
Edit: Will the 60% screw right into a poker case?

Would be interested in an tenkeyless or 75% sized one

This is fantastic
-
I'm starting to get back into ALPS again. I would love if we can work out a 75% size (84 key) that would work with apple PBT keycaps.
Would also be cool if someone designed an alps slider that could take cherry keycaps.

I've seen mention of alps/cherry crossovers; nothing definitive.
I would assume any ALPS keyboard would accept old alps caps regardless of materials unless you mean the mods were really odd sizes?
I'm just piping up in this thread to poke Spirit into considering hurrying the ALPS part of his giant GB monster that he's started. I've got matias switches in a drawer, waiting for a board ... Preferably a 60% ;D

the main alpha section wouldnt be a problem, but the extra row off to the right, and the Fkey row to take it from a 60% to a 75% board would be the tougher part using only apple caps. Thats something I can work out myself though.
