seems really unique, i was hoping for a warmer colored stem to add variety to your recent offerings, this color seems very similar to the new tealios!

I got as far as a pic of three switches on my computer and not that far on my phone so the magic is still a mystery.  Sounds like a great idea though!

The difference between a clicky and a tactile Alps switch is that the clicky switch's click leaf can move: it slams against the wall of the housing to make the noise whereas the tactile non-clicky switch's leaf stays put.
The difference between a linear and a tactile/clickyAlps switch is that the linear does not have a tactile leaf.

Some adjustable leaf holder perhaps?

I'm imagining something like three little buttons on the housing that alter the switch-type. However, I'm prepared to be disappointed on that front.

Would that be a switch on a switch?

You're gonna have to open the switch in order to change it's "modes". Not ideal IMHO as Zealio/Gateron top housing are well known to become looser & looser with each opening. Also these will only work as intended with HS & solder boards that have a plate with switch top opening cutouts. I think these are gonna be a pretty neat novelty switch to mess around with, but not gonna be worth daily driving in a high end board.

Edit: On second thought they make be worth DDing in clicky or tactile "mode" since I believe these are using an SKCM ALPS like leaf to generate click & tactility. TBH though, I'd rather see Zeal release 2 dedicated switches for them instead of the transforming gimmick.

It's still in development.  Refining clicky leaf I believe was the last known update in discord.

but how? though yeah maybe dedicated clicky switch is cheaper (btw maybe two modes is enough - tactile and clicky)

I'm sure you're super busy getting your other products out the door, but do you have an update on the availability of these switches? I'm so incredibly stoked for these!

Very interested in the tactile and clicky modes. I guess my biggest question is if I can afford it...
