Dear Mr Veikman, i like your keybard concertina design and i want to build one. Where do buy or get the ALPS-style switches? That is a big riddle for me. Best regards, Siegmar

I got my latest batch of ALPS-compatible Matias switches via the UK: https://www.keyboardco.com/category.asp?path=Accessories/Switches

They ship to Sweden, so they will surely ship to Germany.

Closed for lack of activity.

I found also a other source for ALPS keys. https://de.aliexpress.com/item/4000320410629.html

Cool!

The two types in that last link (“Clicky 30g Linear 60g”) do not include the Matias “Quiet Click” type I use the most of in my own builds.

I think they can also be bought directly from the manufacturer. https://matias.store/collections/switches currentlylists them at 50USD / 200 switches.
