Never seen a green alps like that before.  The seller is saying they're clicky...

Pretty interesting.

On it's Scarey Garcia too, so you know he's not making a mistake or something.

I thought Green Alps were linear switches?

They could be.  Scarry might be using the word "clicky" loosely to describe mechanical switches.

I think, unless the lighting is really messing with the color that the green in this switch is a much lighter green than the green linear switch.  It's probable that it's a strange fake alps.  I've written to him and asked him to describe the switch in more detail and what type it is exactly.

Not necessarily true. I had a Dell AT101W that had switches that were more of a gray colour than the black I had seen in other AT101/102s. Upon disassembly of the switches, I found that they were completely identical. So I'd say that the above are linear switches, and as itlnstln said, the seller is using 'clicky' as a generic term.
