Title: Alps Switches - White, round stems ?
Post by: el_murdoque on Tue, 28 January 2020, 17:16:01
I just ran across a board made by Alps, but with a switch type I do not recognize.

Could someone enlighten me? Are these bad?

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 (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?

NP, DT has the best MKB wiki on the net IMHO, here is their list of ALPS switches https://deskthority.net/wiki/Category:Alps_switches (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Category:Alps_switches).

Do these have a good keyfeel?

The scratchiest thing I ever type on, that was after a deep clean and even throwing some krytox on it, it's that terrible
