OEM Tai-Hao TI WoB Alps | 31 Aug - 2 Oct 2026

Hi folks,

With the expansion of the latest sets within the Cubic profile from Tai-Hao for Alps switches. Tai-Hao has also expanded its original TI(OEM) profile for Alps.

They have agreed to run a GB with custom kitting, including new legends for R0 for Windows keys.

I know that a lot of Alps enthusiasts, including myself, would like more profiles with kitting that matches standard layouts like Tsangan, which is now possible with this kitting.

Kitting

Some notable things to point out:

• BAE will be supported for Focus keyboard layouts (FK-2001)
  

• Stepped Capslock will be included by default
  

• R0 - 1u Windows Keys
  

• F13
  

• 124 keys total
  

• Fn keys instead of Menu
  

Colourway: All keys will be White on Black. Tai-Hao TI Alps keycaps are thin Doubleshot ABS keycaps like below:

Stabs: All the stabilized keys are going to be Alps-mount EXCEPT spacebars and the BAE key.

The 6.25u spacebar is only going to support MX-mount stabilizers, while the 7u spacebar will support both Alps and Costar (as shown in the above picture).
