I have a used set of doubleshot key caps nowinkeys for ALPS white sliders. I don't know if it's against the rules to do commerce on this forum, so I'm not going to make any offers. But if it is OK, I'm willing to part with them. They are gleaming brite-white with grey nav keys. The designations are not all black print. Some are red, and green too. Some are also shiny from use. There's actually 2 sets minus the "D" key in one of them. I don't know why I kept them all this time. But maybe it was not for myself. I also have the doubleshot "F" keys up the left side of some white slider switch keyboards.

Interesting, so Fuhua made keyboards with real Alps switches at one stage. Really nice keyboard, too.

I wouldn't raid its keycaps — that keyboard should be treasured!

I started the process of swapping out the blue uppers (upper shell, return spring, slider and click leaf) from my Tulip to an AT102W, but it seems that the switches end up stiffer as a result. I'm starting to suspect that the switchplate actuator leaf is what makes white/salmon/black stiffer than blue/orange/green — if I get time I'll try a transplant of one of those.

The only advantage if I ever do finish this, is blue Alps + Windows keys (which I use extensively). For Windows key haters, you get pure ISO layout without the need to dismantle or desolder switches. (My soldering sucks.)

those are really lovely keycaps... mmmh
