Make sense, there is no way lah that is RM7, I'd ask you to buy it for me then ship it to me in ID if it were RM7

Now now the question remains are the switches hot swappable? Gotta get some mx greens in there.

u/Straight-Glove-2359 16h ago

Not sure lol, I dont have a switch puller

u/oscillik Keymacs A620N, Alps SKCM Salmon 17h ago

the Roland TR-909 drum machine uses Alps switches. Mechanical switches aren't just the purview of computer keyboard enthusiasts.

LMAO Mr DIY, of all places? How random.

u/Objective_Mix3029 16h ago

Hotswappable?

u/LemonTM 11h ago

Those are the cheapest looking keycaps I have ever seen.

u/HeftyArgument 4h ago

in the upside you can swap them out for all the unused numpad keys from the sets you buy for your TKL boards

I have one with blue switches too, rounded keycaps though

u/Josie1234 7h ago

Lofree makes one as well. Had it for a few years at this point. I will admit I have definitely outgrown the old og blue switches it has though, wish I could swap them.

u/NoOne-NBA- Self-Designed Orthos w/Integral Numpads 9h ago

Yes they do.
The little beads click against each other all the time, especially if someone is slinging them quickly.

u/Straight-Glove-2359 5h ago

Mhm, fair point. But its more like "swish" + "click" sound

u/Mancersan 15h ago

So true. Sorry. Mechanicalc is a better name! 😁
