Is there anywhere you can buy loose alps click leafs? I don't know if anyone else has problems with the pinging across the room sometimes, or hooking on your fingernail, but I would really like to have extras, and buying a switch just to harvest a leaf does not seem economical at all.

you can probably get the blacks from a dell at101 for free

Blacks are tactile, I need click leafs, and also, where to I acquire free at101s?
I actually have a surplus of tactile leafs as I normally mod towards clicky, as the tactility is better. Cutting a tactile leaf is not the same. This results in a click that is softer and less tactile than a proper click leaf, not to mention inconsistent. I have been using white alps for click leafs, as the click leaf itself is basically the same design as blue alps, but I don't really like looting them, white switches aren't bad, and they are starting to get more valuable.
Regardless, I was hoping my googlfu was just lacking, and there was a place you could buy click leafs in bulk.

If you want extra click leafs you'll have to buy more switches. Keep track of them when disassembling switches and you'll be fine.

Matias?

Well, I looked, and you can get 200 matias click switches for $50. That isn't bad! I guess that would be the closest thing possible to a supply of click leafs.

Matias leafs are actually really good and you can buy them brand new.
They're a great way to spruce up more mediocre Alps like black and cream dampened.

Right... you want the leaf though, and then make it clicky:

Free AT101's no... but the garbage black alps that came in them: anywhere.
