I'm going to replace 60% of the Matias in my V80 with SKCM Orange. The rest will be left alone for the time being but I would like to replace all of the others with various other Alps switches. This is my big project ATM.

I have not thought of a name. I was thinking of calling it the "Alps Paradise" board

We're almost in the final quarter of the year, and I'll probably be downsizing in that period.

I am in search of some highly specific BS keycaps, and I wouldn't pass on:
- beamspring
- exotic Alps switches, SKCM Neon Green and rarer, including SKCL Cream; if not full boards, then single switches to test and brag  :cool:
- ibm portable computer keyboard for cheap - I think it's significantly different from XT, and I would then cover all model F families (obviously no kishy or F77, but that's where new ones step in), except 4980 - has anyone even seen that one?

I want to get my first Cherry doubleshots/GMK sets this time of year (although may be too late for that considering it's really close to 2017). I'd also like to get my first Kustom too.

Really hoping to get a HHKB BT with lubed rails and purple sliders. I'm very excited for my custom (X60) to be in my hands which will be HHKB layout with lubed/stickered linears.

I also want to double my Reaper Classic collection from 8 to 16 (currently up to 11 with trades). Keyset wise, GMK Hyperfuse and perhaps a SA set to see how that feels (mainly Carbon, Jukebox or Danger Zone.
Waiting on a restock for purple sliders, I know where to buy the lube. X60 sample shipped, so close...

I have 13 Reaper Classics, and 3 more on the way! I could work out some more trades and get 7 more on top of the 16 if I wanted - probably will. I bought GMK HF, sold it, and bought it again. I also tried SA, it's ****ing awful.

I'm going to meet my 2016 goals :cool:
Where does one acquire these purple sliders?  :rolleyes:

Really want to try a Realforce U87 55g, and if I don't like it do a dome switch with my HHKB.
Also on the lookout for any HHKB modifier set, need some color in my life

From silenced Realforce keyboards, you harvest the sliders and swap them out.

Oh gotcha, I thought you meant someone was restocking just the sliders.

New Duck Eagle to replace my current 60% and hopefully find a good custom 65/68% to hop onto.

Looking forward to the eventual release of the Topre RGB.

And I'm sure the Unicomp 60% buckle spring is just around the corner...  :-X

Good choice... 87U 45g is the one keyboard I'd keep if I could only choose one.
