Shortly after I built my Blue Alps 60% I was so happy with it I went in for the second run of Hasu PCBs. That was 4 years ago, and today I finally had that free weekend I was waiting for to build it. Figured since its been a couple years I should probably post some pictures, so here goes:

The switches are NOS Yellow Alps (from Blaise170’s group buy a couple years ago). A Dell AT101W plate on a Hasu 60% Alps PCB.

I wanted to use my second set of Alpine Winter keycaps but I didn’t have enough Cherry mount alps stabilizers to support that, so I went with an Olivetti Tai-Hao set I had on hand.

The whole Alps custom keycaps/plates/stabilizer ecosystem really sucks. I think the longest time spent on this was bending stabilizer wire, trimming and cutting alps stabs to get the spacebar functional.

I still need to pony up for a nice 60% Poker style case, but overall I am quite happy with how it turned out. Alps SKCL Yellow are quite delightful! Pretty similar to green SKCL. Might consider lubing them at some point, but I am content for now.

One more for the collection.
