Title: Options for Alps/Matias
Post by: domsch1988 on Mon, 15 February 2016, 03:20:11
Hey everyone,
i just received my atreus keyboard today. I really love the general layout and idea of that board. One thing thats not ideal are the caps. They work, but could be better.
So, what options are there for matias switches? Ideally id like something contoured. Legends are not really important. I really like the look of SA keycaps. They have that vintage look to them. What caps do you recommend for these Switches?

I don't think that signature plastics actually makes alps SA caps, do they? I know that they do DSA alps caps, but I don't think they are normally in production. It's worth a look, I suppose, but it'll be tough to find anything in a profile other than OEM/Apple...

As far as the Atreus goes, which has unconventional layout, as far as I can tell, you're pretty screwed. Finding keycaps for alps even for a standard layout (Say, Winkeyless TKL) is hard, and you basically get a choice of OEM beige.
