Title: Alps springs?
Post by: kod on Mon, 03 February 2014, 22:34:06

Is there any source for alps springs in different weights?  Picked up some matias switches, and I like them, but it seems like they might be a little firm for the pinkies.

I don't know of any aftermarket sets you can get that are commonly available; you may want to measure the springs and then get a custom spring place to quote you some.

Alaricljs swapped in some lighter green alps springs to his matias switches and put them an a ducky 1087xm. I got to try it and it's really nice.
