So the time has come….
Let’s make some Alps boards folks! After lengthy
discussions and tweaks (see
here
for the IC), we are finally ready to Cross the Alps.
This
will be a combined group buy for lots of Alps-centric bits.
Things have been picked to provide almost everything you
need to build a 60% Alps board. You can get a project kit in
one package. If you only want one thing (e.g. 100 switches)
you can get that. I’m casting the widest possible net to
make as many people happy as possible.
What you can
order:
-
PCB - (101/25)
This part will be an order for assembled PCBs from hasu. The hasu circuit board has a ton of possibilities and has been previously successful. It supports AEK ANSI, Dell ANSI & ISO, Infinity, and other layouts. The firmware is customizable and well written. If you want to read more about the PCB, there is loads of info from the previous round of GB for it here.
Each assembled PCB will cost $37.50 (which is $35 + $2.50 to ship to me per board) The minimum order for this part of the GB is 25. Unlike previous sales, hasu cannot provide unassembled boards with or without parts. -
Plates - (89/25)
Plates were designed by JDCarpe and BlueNalgene. All plates requested in the IC before the deadline are being offered: Dell AT101, Dell AT101W, Dell AT102W, AEKII ANSI, AEKII ISO, and Infinity ANSI. (Note: the AEKII ISO will not work with the hasu PCB) Each plate will be laser cut from 16ga. T-304 stainless steel by a company local to my area (saves on shipping).
Here are pics of the plates available:

HHKB Layout
The current quote for plates is $27.50 each. This
price may drop if we can reach a certain number of orders.
The MOQ for this price is 25 units. By smiling and showing a
little of my man-cleavage, I was able to get this MOQ to
count for the total order. That means if the group orders 10
at101 style, 10 at101w style, and 5 aekii style we will
still get the order at this price.
2.5 Powder Coating -
(12/5)
A powder coating option is available for those
ordering plates. Since this is BlueNalgene’s GB, I’m
obviously going with blue. If there are enough orders to
reach my MOQ, I’m going to go into the local powder coating
place and say
“Hey powder coating person”
“…hey
man”
“I hereby demand that these plates get a totally
wicked blue coloring”
“…”
“I mean I want a bright
////ing obnoxious blue color that will make the ladies
faint”
“…whatever you say man /cough/“
So
the price on this is a little bit more complicated. I
was quoted that each plate would cost $20.00 to coat,
and each color change would cost $25.00. I set the MOQ
at 5, that way the participants will pay $25.00 at max
for the option. If more join than 5, then the price will
drop.
3. Switches - (click: 1640, quiet click:
3980, quiet linear: 1210)
Part of this GB will be
for Matias switches. You know about them, you love them,
now you can get them on the cheap. I have arranged some
bulk prices for Matias click, quiet click, and quiet
linear switches. Purchases will need to be made in
quantities of 10, to make life easier on me. The
switches will be directly from Matias in boxes of 200
switches per box. The price per switch, depending on the
quantity ordered, will vary from $0.25 to $0.14 per
switch, not including shipping. The MOQ and price
structure is a little complicated on this, so stay with
me here.
For orders of
200-1000 switches, the
unit price is $0.25 each
1200-2200 - $0.20 each
2400-4400
- $0.18 each
4800-9400 - $0.16 each
9600+ -
$0.14 each
The quantity ordered is for each switch
type UNLESS we can reach an order of 9600 switches
combined. E.g. if we want 4000 click, 2200 quiet, and
3800 linear quiet - we would get the $0.14 price.
However, if we only could reach 2000 click, 2000 quiet,
and 2000 linear quiet, we would be paying the $0.20
price. Like I said, a little complicated. But never
fear, excel will take care of the math for us.
4.
Raffle
I hinted in the IC about a little bonus, and
I may have deliberately left clues in some of my other
posts, but here is my big secret. I have been
experimenting with production of artisan caps. One of
the complaints I have seen before is how there are never
any artisans available for Alps switches. That changes
today.
Because how can you cross the Alps…..
…without elephants?
Pictured are Sick Slime,
Drunken Delirium, and Supple Skin colored Barca keycaps.
All GB participants will be entered into a drawing to
receive one of the caps I made, and there are more than
just those three Barcas.

FAQ
Q. Are you offering keycap sets?
A.
No, but there is currently a GB for Alpine Winter (
here) and there will be some olivetti/dolch sets soon at
some online retailers.
Q. How much will shipping
be?
A. It depends on what you ordered. Since there
are options which will vary from a few switches to a
bunch of metal plates, I don’t have a single price. It
will be cheap for CONUS, expensive for INTL. If there
are several INTL orders, you might consider combining
orders to save on the overseas part.
Q. You have no
GB experience, how do I know you aren’t some skeezeball
who will abscond with my hard earned liquid capital?
A.
I can’t prove I’m reliable. I can only promise that I
will try my dammedest to not knowingly screw you over.
I’m a long time forum denizen which may not be apparent
from my low post count. I lurked for a while before
joining almost a year ago. I have a few successful
trades/purchases on here, and they might be able to
provide a good reference if you require it. CptBadass, a
‘respected’ member says of me:
Quote Confirmed
BlueNalgene is the homie and reliable. Makes me ill
artwork for my zine. 10/10 Would trust. Plus alps
<3
Q. Why are you doing this?
A. Because I
want one dammit, and you can’t get anything done around
here without a committee. grumblegrumblegrumble
Q.
else?
A. goto 10
Q. I don’t get the Hannibal
thing.
A. That isn’t a question.
Q. Wait,
weren’t you doing a Napoleon thing in the IC?
A.
Yeah, but I had the Hannibal thing in my sleeve for when
the GB went live. Do try to keep up.
Q. Will this
work with my Poker style case?
A. Probably. Here is
a list of cases and known compatibility from hasu’s
thread:
Poker X
Pure CNC
Poker II
Pok3r
(untested)
V60 KBP (requires sanding on USB
slot)
Hammer Alu
Tex Aluminum case (some diode
shorting issues reported)
Tex Acrylic case
Q.
When does the GB form close?
A. October 5th
Q.
How much will it cost to ship to me?
A. These
estimates were made by assuming the package is under
1lb., worth $100, and taxed as 8538.90 type item.

you want your country added to the list, just ask. All
