112 seemed to have the best results for me. I tried 111 112 and 129. Plan to do a full board tomorrow. I also ordered some Krytox 106 but it was strangely missing from my package.

I’m not sure if you didn’t see my reply about the weights on reddit, but we had an initial error with the weight listing, and since has been corrected. These can be ordered with First Class now.

Awesome. Thx!
Finally got all of the pieces for this together after borking my original Majestouch 2 TKL when removing the plastic case. The golden case is an aluminum one from YMDK on Aliexpress, and converts it to a removable cable, which I very much appreciate. More photos here.

Got 2 GMK screw in 7u spacebar stabilizers & a tub of Christo-Lube MCG129 from NovelKeys. I do gotta say these containers Mike is using for lube are awesome! They are nice enough to keep & reuse IMHO. Gonna lube a few loose switches with the MCG129 later on, I’ll be sure to report back about how it goes!
Edit: I put up a mini review of the Christo-Lube MCG129 on this thread if anyone is interested.

Upgraded from my 980ti to a 1080ti since I’m planning on getting a high refresh rate 1440p monitor soon & got my first Orochi! Although the Orochi was kinda a bust as the stem on it is so tight it will not fit on to any switches.
Is this normal with Keyforge caps? I got it second hand so I’m kinda stuck with it anyways. I can’t really get mad at the seller since there is technically nothing wrong with the cap. Kinda crappy if they knew about it & didn’t tell me, but it is what it is at this point…

I have this same cap and mine was also very difficult to get onto a switch at first. Too tight in my opinion. Once I put it on and off a few times it wasn’t so bad. I’d recommend a switch or board that’s not so important to you first.

Yeah, I had the same experience. Then I had issues with it sliding off of the yok pandas that I had. (they were the stock stem).
Ended up being the switch itself that was loose, somehow. I’ve got it on some vintage blacks right now, and it is

Cool, at least knowing this common with these caps makes me feel a bit better. Although I don’t know if I’ll ever get any use out of this one. I can’t get it started even on switches with smaller stems like TTC or Greetech. I’m 99% sure the stem will shatter if I force it, LOL. 
Kinda a shame as I got it to go with GMK Jamon & I think it’ll match that set nicely. I guess I could always shave the cruciform mount down on a switch to get it to fit if I really want to use it.
What a lovely board! I feel kinda bad that my case is just sitting on the side now since I only got that board to harvest those absolutely wonderful keycaps. Are you planning on doing a full rebuild of the board? Or just cleaning it and rolling with the dampened alps? Or… will you harvest those A+ keycaps?

Thanks! They are beautiful boards, but I grabbed it mostly for the keycaps. I want to do that WKL layout with a split backspace for my ADK64 build. Although I will be cleaning it up, keeping the damped whites in it, & tossing the keycaps from my Dell AT101W on it for now so it is still usable. Then hopefully I can find another SGI AT101 later down the line cause I would like to have one in it’s stock form just for my collection. This one though I can’t pass up putting these awesome caps on a custom ALPS build, LOL!

You could try heating it up… not sure what kind of plastic it is, but a heat gun or just placing the switch stem-down on a 3D printer heating bed set to, I dunno, 60C-70C? You want to get it hot enough that it’s malleable, but not so hot that it starts melting.
Maybe not a great idea depending on how much the switch cost…
Those keycaps are straight up 
, aren’t they? I was amazed at the condition they were in—that board felt like it’d never been used.
I almost forgot I even owned that board until I saw @Rob27shred’s thread about his Alps dilemma. I realized a while ago that I just don’t like any of the Alps switches I’ve tried, at least not enough to deal with them; I’ve had horrible luck desoldering and re-soldering those little jerks. Since he loves Alps so much, I figured I’d ask if he wanted to take the SGI board off my hands, and now it’s his

My Keyforge blind bag and tokkipee pastel blue blank came in the mail today. I also got tokkipee’s pins as an add-on and have included one on my meetup bag
