Alphameric foam and foil

Manufacturer	Alphameric, Devlin
Switch type	Linear
Sense method	Capacitive
Keycap mount	Key Tronic?

Alphameric foam and foil is a foam and foil switch manufactured by Alphameric in the UK. The sliders have a mount that is similar to, if not identical to Key Tronic mount, but the slider modules are significantly shallower than typical Key Tronic foam and foil slider modules. The keycap mount appears to be the same as the Alphameric resistive switch.

Having acquired the keyboard division of Alphameric in 2004, Devlin still manufacture replacement switches as replacement parts; no new products are introduced using them.
