I live in Korea. I recently found an unused Alps switch and Futaba swtich in an old electronics store.
It takes a lot of time to buy, package and ship it. So considering group buy.

This will be my first group buy. I can probably make a mistake..

If you are interested in purchasing, please let us know the quantity!

Interested in the Futaba cherry mounts, how much do they cost?

Sign me up for Alps SKCM White, that seems like a very surprising find. I would buy 200-300 (depending on the price, of course).

Are they all "pine" with the slits in the housing as shown in your first photo? wiki/Alps_SKCL/SKCM_series#Slits

I'm curious about the Cherry MX mount Futabas too, but I would probably only get 100.

I'm very interested in the Alps SKCM Whites. I would also buy around 200-300 depending on price.

About the Futaba MA switches, are they more clicky on the upstroke? I have a couple boards with them and the clickiness on the downstroke is kinda disappointing but the upstroke is much louder. I hear this can be due to age, though, so I am wondering how some unused ones have faired.

I would like some White Alps too. 220 would be amazing.

0.9$ / each

This is the price I purchased. If have a lot of orders, will be able to lower the price.

1.1$/each.

It is the price when I buy it.
The alps switch has a slit.
The switch is the same as in the picture. That picture I shot myself.

If a large quantity is ordered, the price may go down.

Yeah, I'd be down for 120 SKCM Whites on my end.

I'd be interested in 120 Alps SKCM whites to sate my Alps curiosity.

How many white Alps switches are available? I would buy more if there are a lot, but I don't want to be greedy if there are others interested.

Any patterns/apparent problems on the sliders or with the switches in general. E.g. the recent skcl yellows got those strange patterns on the slider and are therefore not very smooth.
Anyway, +256 SKCM, thanks!

There are more than 5000. Do not worry.

Nice. Maybe I'm overestimating the interest, but I don't think you'll have a hard time selling 5000, especially if they are all complicated Alps. I'd love about 480-500 (but that's already ~10%). Thanks for doing this, by the way.

sign me up for 200!

I'm interested for sure. Looking at 250 switches for me as well.

I'd be interested in 180 Alps if they really are "pines"

Mark me down for 180 White SKCM Alps.

I'd like 70x of the skcm whites. I'll take more if needed but only need 70x.

I would also be interested in purchasing some of the white alps, depending on the price.

How much each for the non-MX mount Futabas?

same price. 0.9$/each

Thank you for participating in the Interest check. I will soon start Groupbuy.

Not going to participate in any more group buys, but I'd be interested in some of the Alps switches if I could purchase them once you have them in hand.
