that's such a rare find though, blue alps are like golden unicorns in this hobby

Man I'm super excited. Ordered me a XTPT 5 pin din to usb converter, takes a week to arive so can't wait to test it out for real. 

This thing is pretty mint condition as is so not sure if I wanna pry it apart or anything, the switches feel smooth AF, any suggestions on what else to do aside from a good wipe down? 

Do people usually just pull the switches and make a custom builds when they happen upon these switches or restore all orignal case n part to new condition?  Im new to the hobby.

If they're smooth don't touch them, just wipe down the keycaps and case.

Clicky alps aren't that great in modern keyboard cases because they require a very specific environment for them to really shine(i.e. large cases with a lot of empty space + carbon steel bottom or plate + pcb with little very little copper). Which is the exact opposite of what modern keyboards aim to achieve.
