Title: Alps Porn
Post by: nubbinator on Sun, 09 March 2014, 19:01:40
Post your Alps porn here.  I've seen all these other random post your x thread, but no Alps porn yet.

So here's my Alps porn from my upcoming Alps low profile oval slider review.

Love the photos Nubs!, i see you're a big fan of alps. Have you tried to cast an alps stem yet? Looks like it would be a PITA

It's in the works.  It won't be compatible with these alps though, just your standard SKCL/SKCM Alps.

You take some pretty excellent photos man! I'm looking forward to your review as well!

nubbinator: I guess I can wait for the review, but have you tried various SKCL switches or later Alps switches/clones? Would be interesting to hear how you think these pcb-mount switches compare.

I’ll try to take some nice 'Alps porn' pictures to add to this thread soon. Do you folks think SMK alps-mount (“monterey”) and Omron B3G-S switches count for this category?

Anyhow, for the moment, here are some pictures from a bit ago:

Thank you sir!

Not shown though is that the stepped caps lock doesn't fit. Pretty disappointed, the PCB/plate is set up for some caps lock that's off center but not quite off center enough... Still trying to figure out a good solution to that one.

You could try stem modding.

I have a few of these caps locks as well, so I'm not afraid of ruining one.

I'm concerned about stem modding an alps keycap though, since the stem sits inside the switch instead of outside. The best way I've found to stem mod is to use an actual switch for alignment, but I'm afraid I'd end up bonding the switch to the cap :eek:

Suggestions welcome :)

Ah yes didn't even think about that. You could replace it with a different switch while glueing maybe? A not that rare one so in case it goes wrong you don't break one of those nice blues. And use just a tiny bit of glue first, you can always add more to fasten it.

Filco Zero again: Swapped caps for the caps that came with the board listed in nubbinator's OP, added a custom painted Filco top from Photoelectric (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=33130.msg1268055#msg1268055)


Nubbinator, I really liked those switches on that board. I was just going to toss it after grabbing the caps but now I'm reconsidering it.
