Title: Alps Gray spring swap?
Post by: pingmaster on Wed, 02 August 2017, 10:18:11
Hello,

Yesterday, I took apart one of the switches in my Matias TactilePro 2 keyboard with SKBM Gray switches. The 'A' key stopped making its click. So when I removed its clickleaf, it matched up identically to the blue clickleaf. The leaf ended up being bent forward so it couldn't snap against the housing so I bent it back and it works well now. The thing is, can I put the blue spring in the gray switch to get a cheap blue switch? Which Alps switch or clone that is readily available has the blue spring or equivalent. I don't need genuine blues but close enough, as blues are prohibitively expensive :( .
