Wow  :eek: That keyboard sounds like the best thing ever. The switches sound like the perfect linear, those keycaps are super beautiful, and 30 billion is amazing. Very educational video too, thank you. How hard are these keyboards to obtain?

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :) . These aren't too hard to obtain, but you can pretty much forget about getting them to work with a modern computer :p .

I can even feel the smoothness of this board even tho I don't have it

the keycaps made out of adamantium  :))

have you tried green alps?

I wish I had, but there was a... problem with getting a board with them.

Not sure if this was the actual problem, but they are very hard to find. I believe Nubbinator has one, but he only found it after trying to get a board with brown alps, and instead finding it to be tactile green.

They're not rare at all, but the person I was supposed to trade for one with appears to have utterly vanished :/ .
