I've got a kage with NOS blues and a dolphin with SKCL green. Both did cost me a hell of a lot of money, but these 2 boards are sort of the culmination of what I like about custom keyboards and were a couple years in the making from when I had the idea. There was an orange alps board planned but I'm not the biggest fan of tactile switches. That's why I've been looking into topre, as tactile offerings from MX designs aren't great, and alps are either expensive as hell(brown alps) or have to be paper modded which when I did it really affected the feel of the switches.
Cup rubber seems to be the true end game for tactile switches, so I'll keep looking for a deal on a realforce.
Yeah, Topre is way too expensive. I love these boards, but they’re probably not worth it. Enjoy your Alps boards! What switches did you go with?
