Following the advice of @sjw , I finally got an AT101W! Probably paid more than what you would in the states but oh well :/
First impression is that it sure takes up a ton of space compared to my 60%. My cramped dorm room desk basically has no room for anything else :)
The feel is pretty awesome, though the keys *are* significantly stiffer than the ones I've used. (Stiffest switches I've ever used long-term are probably Matias Quiets.)
Also, the deck flex between the function and number keys are pretty surprising. Does not interfere with typing in any way though.
Will probably write more on it after using it for a few days.
(Sorry for the super late reply lol.)
IIRC ALPS are indeed pretty easy to open. I've opened some of my old Matias' as they were having chattering issues.
I'll probably try lubing them when I have more time on my hands. Any type of lube you'd recommend?
(The only lubes I have on hand are for Rubik's cubes. Don't know if they work :P )
