Well hello there!
« on: Wed, 14 January 2015, 22:32:17 »
Hey there!

My name is Guillaume, I'm a complete noob at this but love mechanicals, I've just bought a v60 with Matias quiet switches and cannot wait for it to arrive :) While following up on a keycap set that could fit, I stumbled upon this place, which seems insane. And cool. :P

Welcome to Geekhack! Nice choice of keyboard. If you have any questions, feel free to ask around. :)

Welcome to GH!

i thought there was a group buy going on for Alps keysets but i don't remember where i saw that.... I think your best bet is to salvage them from an old ALPS board

Welcome to GH, the thing Evo was talking about is an interest check run on PMK I don't really know if it was ever made.

People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

The dumber the reason the more it must be done

Welcome to Geekhack!

This place can get crazy at times - hang around for a while and you'll have some fun times :D

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

It's on group buys now.
Edit: http://www.pimpmykeyboard.com/deals/delta-blues-alps-dcs-set/
It's a shame it isn't for MX-Keys because it looks pretty nice.

Patience is required for some group buys.  BunnyLake has some express group buys that go from start to finish in only a month or two, but most others can drag on for six months or more, depending on how popular or complicated the set iS.
