I've never used alps but the common consensus is that blue alps are a more refined version of white alps, but white alps are still better than most mx style clickies but dirty alps are really bad to type on.
You're confusing the two types of white Alps. These are called "White Damped Alps". They are tactile but not clicky, and they are sound-damped: both on bottoming out and topping up.
Oh yeah didn't see that my bad, I just saw the alps and thought they were traditional whites. Dampened alps are also really cheap as well from looking, and you find a lot of them from my experience especially compared to the original, I think that's because a lot of the computers that these boards came with were more budget oriented and for families so I think they are more common but not 100%. Plus the AEK 1 is more desirable because it has orange/salmon alps which people want)
Probably gotta pay attention more because If I'd read the post completely I would have seen that it was an AEK II and knew it was dampened alps (and also the link as well lol) , because I was looking to getting an AEK I before, but stopped because shipping boards here is extremely costly (it's like half sometimes the full price of the board so I gave up)
