ALPS Switches
« on: Thu, 09 February 2012, 16:13:20 »
Looking for 2 (or more but not many) ALPS switches.  I recently transferred the ALPS from my Ducky 1008 to my Dell AT101W and broke two of the switches in the process.

The Dell has all the Green XMs I need, but the Ducky is going to need to switches to replace the ones I broke.  I don't care that these new replacement switches are actually uniform with the rest of the board, in fact I would prefer something different just for fun.

So if you have any orange, blue, white, cream, black if need be, or whatever ALPS switches you wouldn't mind selling to me please pm me so I can get the Ducky off to a new home.  Again I only need 2 keys, but if someone has a handful of different switches I wouldn't say now to placing them around the keyboard to confound the user who ends up with it.

No this can wait.  I have the board soldered back up (minus the two missing switches/keys) and in the box without a home at the moment.

I"m selling a BNIB Macally MK-96 keyboard with white ALPS-type switches for $10 plus shipping.  So, there are 96 switches on there that you could use and have in reserve for pretty cheap. :)

You can read more about the keyboard and it's switches here:
