That's sadly common with SKCM Alps switches. You can clean them out, but it suuuucks to do a full keyboard of them.

    Yeah. I also heard of waxing Alps switches to decrease stiction. Sucks, because otherwise, I think the switches feel really nice.

    Still, though, nothing beats a Model F, although I haven't used a beamspring, so maybe one of those with a solenoid.

    While I mostly agree with the Model F statement (I own four for a reason), I think that a clean set of SKCM Blue Alps are probably the next best clicky switch. I'd pick it over a Model M any day.
