I'm a nice guy, I paid the extra $$ for silent mechanical keys (http://matias.ca/switches/quiet/) ;-)

Thank you! I've been looking for a keyboard like that for years, ever since I had to get rid of my old Zeos mechanical to keep my wife from going insane in our shared office space. The Quiet Pro PC looks absolutely perfect.

Yeah, but then you have to have those terrible, bastard ALPS switches. Sorry, strong personal preference here.

I use Topre anyway.

The switches are their own, they only use ALPS for the keytops. Unless they contract out to ALPS for manufacturing and I missed it.

Sorry, you're absolutely correct. Still, pain in the arse to get decent keysets for and I've always found the ALPS design to be 'wobbly'. Something about them is extremely uncomfortable to me.
