It is a KPT switch. Very similar to simplified ALPS, iirc.

Since it has a similar click leaf to ALPS but the contact in the housing looks a bit different, I'd guess a small tactile bump with a little clickyness.

Never used one so can't give you an exact answer.

Where'd you find the pic? Someone offering you a board with them?
