What? I think you’re replying on the wrong thread maybe?

I have had a similar keyboard, supposedly made for children, but I think that these are good for older people with various impairments. A tactile click may be good for someone with arthritis, for example.

Note these are four-tab Alps clones, not complicated (SKCL) Alps switches.

Are they linear? tactile? clicky?

Ahh good to know - thanks for the info! They are linear, not tactile nor clicky. I have seen them listed as tactile but there's no bump whatsoever that I can feel.

I was able to get it for $23 total, which was worth it for a project board imo; I wouldn't want to pay much more than that.

I don't even know what to say:



Luckily the price is more reasonable on their ebay page, which comes to about $90 AUD (72 USD).

However if they're linear non-tactile, I'll probably pass.

Linear switch. Lighter than SKCM Green Alps. Too light for my tastes to be honest and I sold off a board that had SKCL Yellows.

I dun goofed.  I have an old zenith board with skcl yellow alps (thats complicated correct)?  I'm not very knowledgeable on alps switches.  My board as a few green switches thrown on it as well.  Complicated as well I think.  I thought they were lighter.  But like I said I'm no expert.

All the yellow Alps I’ve tried were stiffer than the green Alps I’ve tried. I’m honestly curious about the batch that were lighter.
