[[File:Z_mount.jpg|200px|thumb|Alps-mount keycap and [[Alps SKBM White]] switch]]

A type of mount that is very common for different types of switches. The [[slider]] has a slot that is around 4.6 mm × 2.3 mm at the top; the [[keycap]] has rectangular peg around 4.5 × 2.2 mm.
It is used on various [[:Category:Alps switches|Alps switches]] including the [[Alps SKCL/SKCM series]], and is therefore most often called "Alps mount". The term "Alps mount" does not mean that all Alps switches used this mount: some switches use similar but incompatible mounts, and many more use use totally different mounts. There are more switch types from third parties that use this mount than there are in Alps Electric's entire product range.

Whether there is an industry-wide designation for this type of keycap mount is unknown.
