The XM variant of ALPS that come with the Ducky series are not to be mistaken for the previous iteration of ALPS.
Green = Clicky + Tactile
Black = Linear ( I have never used these, cherry makes good linear switches to satisfy me )
I certainly do enjoy typing on the green variety of these switches, but they are not comparable in feel or quality to the old types. If you want an ALPS keyboard with a standard layout your best bet would be one of the new ducky boards, a Dell AT101*, Apple IIE (with ADB->USB adapter), or camp ebay for awhile.
