    Description

    BLACK ALPS SKCM KEYSWITCHES
    FOR COMPUTER KEYBOARDS
    These BLACK ALPS KEYSWITCHES are STRONG
    TACTILE,
    MODERATE CLICKY, and LOW LINEAR.  They
    are
    used,
    but in excellent condition.  They can be installed in any
    keyboard
    that uses ALPS keyswitches.  They are GENUINE ALPS, with
    the word "Alps" written on the top panel, next to the slider stem.
    Every keyswitch has been tested with an ohmmeter, and
    is confirmed working.  Every switch has been lightly
    lubricated with MAX-PRO, an electronics lubricant that
    is specialized for switches. These black ALPS keyswitches
    were collected from a Dell AT-101W keyboard.
    THESE PAPER SHEETS ARE INCLUDED

    (1) a two-sided sheet with instructions on how to
    desolder and remove old switches, and how to

    photos.

    in-person presentation,
