looks like marketplace bot is broken again.
Spring cleaning continues at the Wellington household. I've got 4 bags of assorted alps switches and switch parts (sliders, springs, click leafs, housing). These include about [strike]two dozen[/strike] 68 dampened sliders (see pic).
Does anyone mod alps switches anymore? Just pay shipping and they're yours. I'll post more pics/deets if anyone is interested. PM me.
I'm chucking them in a week if no one wants them...

If there are 26 or more dampened alps, I'd be interested in those.
-
inventory of the alps parts:
The parts appear to be from two different boards:
-a siig mactouch (bigfoots, clicky). 69 intact switches (see pics)
-an aek II (dampened sliders, non clicky leaf, bigfoots) with 68 switches. Of those 68, 46 housings have been taken apart (but nearly all components are there: springs, leafs, top housing, sliders, but no bottom) + 22 still intact (including bottom).
IIRC, these were from a project where I was building a frankenstein alps switch with fukkas, click leafs, and dampened sliders (fukka feel, but with no bottoming clack, but with a click from the leaf -- yea, that was a great switch).
siig mactouch - looks like regular bigfoots. Most of these are intact, i took one apart to show the insides.

aekII - bigfoot style with dampened sliders and clickless leaf:
22 of them are complete and intact aekII switches as pictured here:

46 aekII housings taken apart (dampened sliders included along with all parts except the bottoms):

If you're looking for dampened sliders, there will be a total of 68 of them.
-
I've never used Fukkas or Dampened ALPS, but I just scored a SGI Granite with dampened ALPS that should be here soon... I hope.
I have AT101W's that I got with the intention of modding. But Kishy, if you want them, go for it.

update: free shipping (including canada).
They only weigh 10 oz, not worth paypalling over. The universe can owe me some karmic points and we'll call it even.
-
Didjamatic, wanna go to negotiations in PMs about who gets what? I'm interested in complete switches, mainly, and definitely want some dampened ones. Not sure on quantities so yeah.
I'm thinking of just taking the lot, taking out what I want/need, and then redistributing the rest the same way welly is.
(currently at school/work so my replies aren't as quick as usual)
-
BTW, InSanCen (http://geekhack.org/member.php?u=2080) was actively looking for ALPS parts as recent as a month or two ago.
-
Go ahead kishy. If you back out, then see if InSanCen wants them, he hooked me up with some Alps switches a couple months ago when I destroyed one in a keyboard I had.
-
Well if insancen was looking for them before this was posted, he gets first priority I think.
If I were more greedy these complications could be avoided...lol.
-
ok gang, I pm'ed insan to see if he wants in. But if he doesnt reply in a day or so i'm just mailing the whole lot to kishy and he can redistribute as he sees fit ;)
-
kishy YGM via USPS ;) Enjoy.
-
Awesome, thank you!
Anyone who wants stuff from this collection, hold tight, once I determine what exactly I want to hang onto I'll be relisting the remaining for the same price, recipient pays shipping.
-
Sorry guys. Was out of the loop due to a hard drive with 4 OS's winging it's way to Silicon Heaven.
If someone else has dib's, feel free.
-
The loot has arrived today. However with exam-type tests in the next couple days, I'm trying to keep my mind on focus (yeah, right...) so I'll figure out what I want and what to redistribute sometime soon.
Thanks welly!

cool, glad it made it across the border. Enjoy :)

Digging this back up because I finally got around to it...
Long story short, I don't have any uses for the items that I thought I did. I like my keyboards loud and obnoxious...dampened this, rubber that is not obnoxious enough.
The inventory has not changed since Welly had it (except I'm keeping the grey-stem locking switch). Take what you want, but I do ask that you pay shipping from me to you.
-
A note: the MacTouch switches aren't as clicky as other white clickies. Perhaps a slider or leaf swap that welly forgot he did?
(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=11024&stc=1&d=1276410510)
Since electrical prongs are snipped short these are best used for sliders, springs, etc...use as a full switch would be tricky.
-
I'll take em, I love the dampened feel, they're for sale/give away?
-
Technically giving away but there's actually, like that Leading Edge keyboard, a bit of a queue of interested people.
insancen - didjamatic - trojanmaximus (by pm), then it's a free for all...
I'll post status in this thread.
-
Thank you for considering me but you can count me out, I've loaded up on dampened ALPS since then, but I am looking for Blue, Pink and other colors if you have any pop up.
-
will take it all... pm me shipping details
-
Just being fair, didja. When welly first offered them you responded.
Waiting on insancen's PM reply, ISTR he found what he needed too, but just in case...
If that's a no as well, they'll be yours TM.
-
Replied... Not taking a huge amount, just what I need to complete my mod on my Wang (Cue the jokes!)
-
Thanks for the Laugh!

I have pink, green, yellow, black, white, grey. Which ones would you like?
-
Everything's gone: all 'clickies' shipped to insancen, remainder (dampened sliders, full switches and assorted other little pieces) shipped to trojanmaximus (I really can't be bothered to swap in the numbers...)
