Those are not alps  switches i think those are SMK 2nd MX mount. I am also interested on how they feel.

It should be these:

The mechanism does appear to be in the vein of alps.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but you seriously overpaid for these. You could have got 100 for $16AUD + proxy fees and shipping through TaoBao: https://world.taobao.com/item/540513185273.htm

Money doesn't really matter to me.  Also, I don't know how to order off taobao.  So no bad news.  The thing I'm most worried about is that IF these happen to fit in place of normal alps switches, those extra two plastic pins are only going to work for PCBs with mx PCB holes.  So, I'm more than likely going to have to cut them off, which will suck a bit.

Okay then. But ordering off Taobao is easy, just paste the link into a proxy service like Bhiner and then it's pretty self explanatory :)

These require a different set of mount holes for the switches. They will NOT fit in a standard Alps PCB. You need one designed specifically for SMK switches, like the Bleach60 etc.
