Interesting. It almost looks like an NMB Hi-Tek switch but with a top that clipped onto the switch and has an Alps compatible slider.
The underside of the caps is consistent with older dyesub Alps PBT caps I have.
The color is whiter than any other dyesub Alps cap i've seen.It’s impossible to tell what color it is from these photos. The color you see in the pictures shows obviously inconsistent white balance from picture to picture.
I ordered this last week and it arrived today, i must say the switches these use are really nice , they remind me of Topre a bit. They also have a nice sound. I havent converted it to USB yet but just from pressing keys randomly i much prefer these switches over SKCM Orange or SKCM Cream Damped. Im going to make an acrylic bottom for it and mount some GON style feet on it.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/HTTBstj.jpg)

I've found Alps integrated dome to be weird, almost linear actually. They don't feel like Topre at all.There are at least 4–5 different types of Alps dome switches, and not all feel the same. None of the ones I’ve tried seemed “almost linear” though.
If you must buy rubber dome, go Topre or BTC dome with slider. If you can't afford the former, get the latter. The latter are super cheap and very common.
Yeah, I figured the different types would probably feel different... Mine is a variation of the round Alps-mount type.I've found Alps integrated dome to be weird, almost linear actually.

I agree the ones I’ve tried are not that close to Topre. Personally I find them all (i.e. all the Alps domes, and Topre too) pretty uninspiring. YMMV.
itzmeluigi: what’s the travel distance like on these?

Or find a Dell QuietKey RT7D5JTW, one of the good ones made in Thailand. They're just like Topres. This is a secret, BTW.
