Earlier in the month I posted a thread about the possibility of reviving / recreating Alps SKCM & SKCL switches:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=107233.msg2926924#msg2926924The community provided great feedback.
However, before moving forward on any proposed business plans, I wanted to talk to the former company itself:
Why not bring them back, considering the interest in Mechanicals skyrocketing over the past 5-7 years?
Also, they are very much still in the switch market - what is keeping them from being reintroduced?
As of writing, I have not received any response from Alps Alpine after a somewhat longish inquiry.
Has anyone else ever tried to reach out to Alps Alpine or received any particular answer on why SKCL/SKCM's would no longer be produced?
If so, what did they say?
I want some further info before I go hog wild on creations, branding, etc - that being said I DO have some wonderful ideas in store for the future.
