===Alps mount (round slider)=== PCB mounted. The Alps mount variant has the four legs at the base of the slider the same as the black cross mount version, but no helical spring. The upper shell has the inverted retention tabs, but no support for plate mounting, and a tiny Alps logo is present on the top; no Alps logo is found on the bottom.<ref name="rzw" /> The blue slider is cylindrical all the way to the top, with a slot for standard Alps keycaps. The four legs appear to be the same spacing as the other variants, but this is not confirmed. The four legs of the switch form the corners of a rectangle 13 mm by 5 mm. The example depicted below is highly tactile and with a faint but distinct metallic sound. This cannot be taken as a certain characteristic, because the feel of rubber domes varies depending on condition of the domes. <gallery widths="250" heights="187"> File:Zenith Supersport SX -- diodes.jpg|Alps integrated dome switches File:Zenith Supersport SX -- Alps integrated dome switches.jpg|Alps integrated dome switches File:Alps integrated dome -- Alps mount -- branding.jpg|Alps branding File:Alps integrated dome -- Alps mount -- shell partially open.jpg|Shell partially opened File:Alps integrated dome -- Alps mount -- upper shell removed.jpg|Upper shell removed File:Alps integrated dome -- Alps mount -- slider removed.jpg|Slider removed File:Alps integrated dome -- Alps mount -- dome removed.jpg|Dome removed File:Alps integrated dome -- Alps mount -- components.jpg|Switch components File:Alps integrated dome -- Alps mount -- dome.jpg|Conductive rubber dome File:Alps integrated dome -- Alps mount -- dome, inside out.jpg|Rubber dome turned inside out to help illustrate the conductive pad File:Alps integrated dome -- Alps mount -- Alps compatibility.jpg|The sliders are Alps mount (shown here with Matias keycaps) </gallery>
