Title: Just built alps64 with ISO AEKII keycaps.
Post by: ag36 on Wed, 23 May 2018, 20:41:10

Works fine while some of the keycaps didn't fit well so I have to improvise, the thick pbt caps sounds great with matias click and matias stabilizer kit and hasu's plate. Much better then my KBP V80 with tai hao double shot abs keycaps. So sad I can't get a cheap ansi aek in the UK. Feeling is much more satisfying then any MX keyboard.

two stabilizer wires had to be made from scratch using 1mm wires. I really should've ordered silver case for this.

I would try to snatch a Apple extended keyboard II . But since you are are also from the EU you can't almost find no Apple II keyboards unless you pay 80-100 Euros. I would recommend looking on Ebay for Apple extended keyboard II auctions that include the world wide shipping program. I bought my apple extended keyboard for 70ish dollars with shipping.
