Matias for the win :^ 10/07/2021
The ALPSMatias is THE tactile switch.
Period.
Somewhat scratchy if not lubed.
Distinctive audible ping due to being otherwise silent.
So happy with it - using the 2nd of two keyboards I've built with one 200 pcs and 9 single switch packs (209 with some spares in total).
Highly recommended.
The shopping was a breeze - went in, cart, payment and the goods arrived perfectly packed and somewhat earlier than expected!
One perfectly satisfied & returning customer :D
Some people are concerned that MatiasALPS are switches of subpar quality or things like that - let me reassure you it is quite the opposite:
I had the 2 key miss contacts and behave for like 2 weeks after initial build - and every time substantial force would yield one or two characters in the end.
As time goes on it has been broken in and works as flawlessly as any other of the 104 keys on that keyboard.
The other board ran 100% error free from the get go.
They just break in for a week or two.
(I'm a years long original black ALPS SCKM user so i would know by now - it's their specific thing)
