This board features some doubleshot ABS caps and Alps white switches. During teardown a number of switches shattered. I assume the board was stored poorly and it somehow embrittled them. Rather than cleaning them up, I threw in a set of new-old-stock Alps white switches.

The combination of relatively thin ABS caps, smooth tactile NOS switches, and solid case acoustics make this an anomalously enjoyable board to use. I've used switches from this same batch in an AEK but this combination is so much better, no comparison.
