Such meaty Double-Shots, pity they're no longer manufactured to this quality. Seen how thin the current D-Ss from a certain "Autograph" Plastic Company ?
Often outspoken, please forgive any cause for offense.
Thank you all in GH for reading.

Alps licenses the Cherry logo? wow.
I trolled Geekhack and all I got was an eponymous SPOS.

Did anybody here buy it?

Of all switches on this page (who owns it?), I think that the switches in the auction resemble Mitsumi switches the most. Some ALPS switches on that page has a compatible stem, but the Mitsumi switches have a more similar-looking case.

Nice keycaps indeed, even though I would rather have that Sagem keyboard that Sandy has ... Could those be the ones from TRON ? ...
