Are there any new, “refreshed” versions of those Matias switches that have better build quality?
Newer versions may have resolved the lubrication issues that contributed to contact issues, but they remain the same fundamental design—a clone of Alps SKBM.

What would be an equivalent from another manufacturer that’s roughly close in tactile feel, and won’t fall apart after a few years? I have searched the forums here and found some old threads, but I’ve also noticed that the landscape of available switches changes quite quickly and most of the threads are quite old.
I actually went the opposite direction and used Alps SKCM switches that I harvested from old Apple keyboards . They gave me years of problem-free service until a Model 100 took over my daily needs.
