I just ran across a board made by Alps, but with a switch type I do not recognize.

I think they're ALPS dome with slider, from the looks of it. Although yours has some wings on the pictured switch while they don't on the DT wiki, https://deskthority.net/wiki/Alps_dome_with_slider. It's a membrane board so I doubt it's great to use, but the caps look to be normal ALPS mount. So they could be used with some SKCL/M switches in the future.

Thank you!

Is there, somewhere in the internet, a more or less complete list of alps switches that includes the less popular and outright terrible ones?

Do these have a good keyfeel?
