[WTB] 4 Blue Alps switches
« on: Wed, 10 June 2015, 09:29:48 »
As the title says, I'm looking for Blue Alps. I would prefer standalone switches (cheaper shipping costs), but a donor board is acceptable. I would prefer to get at least 87, more if possible in case of mishaps or wear and tear.

UPDATE: Bought 83 switches, would like to get four more.
UPDATE 2: Bought the remaining four. Thanks, exitfire401.

Whites are quite acceptable substitutions for lesser-used keys.

Yeah, my current plan is to use Matias Clicky switches in PrtScr, Pause, F11 and F12, but the board would look better naked if I had the last few blues as well. I know it's not really necessary.

Thanks, exitfire. I hope you have some.
