I'm currently working on an Alps 1800 build. Thinking about either orange alps or blue alps. Both seem like a good idea, so I'm having a hard time choosing.
Hopefully this project will be done relatively soon.
for a 60% or smaller build, I would have suggested orange alps as they tend to sound and feel just as good in smaller form factors.
if youre going to go all out and do an 1800 build, I would say go for SKCM blues. they are usually used in smaller builds but the skcm blues sound better in larger cases imo, like in their home keyboards. an 1800 would be a perfect build for blues. where are you getting a 1800 pcb for alps?
Tai-Hao knows I like Alps, so they gave me some free Alps blanks!

oof, i've heard nothing but bad things. how do they feel?
I haven't tried an alps keyboard, but would love to get one! People say that the clicks in the switches make Cherry MX blue feel like a joke. Problem is, at the thrift store i can only find membrane keyboards...
One question: how do i know it's alps?
type the keyboards name and put the word "deskthority" or "geekhack" behind it, if it has alps generally itll have a post somewhere between the two.
