{{Switch recognition banner}} [[File:Z mount.jpg|thumb|250px|Alps mount keycap and Alps switch]] The following page lists switches with [[keycap mount#Alps mount|"Alps mount"]] sliders. The [[slider]] has a slot that is around 4.6 mm Γ 2.3 mm at the top; the [[keycap]] has rectangular peg around 4.5 Γ 2.2 mm. The peg inside the keycap contains its own hole (around 2.7 mm wide), but by and large, this is not used for anything β it may just be a legacy of vintage Alps switches with an extra peg inside the slider. ==Alps mechanical== <gallery widths=200 heights=150> File:Alps common mount low profile -- top.jpg | [[Alps common mount low profile]], normal File:Alps common mount low profile -- LED -- top.jpg | [[Alps common mount low profile]], LED File:Alps plate spring -- infobox.jpg | [[Alps plate spring]] File:Alps SKFL -- recognition.jpg | [[Alps SKFL]] (normal) File:No photograph.svg | [[Alps SKFL]] (cyan, heavy) File:Alps SKFL LED -- recognition.jpg | [[Alps SKFL LED]] File:Alps SKFL Lock -- recognition.jpg | [[Alps SKFL Lock]] </gallery> ===Alps SKCL/SKCM series=== <gallery widths=200 heights=150> File:Alps SKCL Green -- variants table.jpg | [[Alps SKCL Green]] File:Alps SKCL Cream -- recognition.jpg | [[Alps SKCL Cream]] File:No photograph.svg | [[Alps SKCL Double Action]] File:No photograph.svg | [[Alps SKCL Lock]] (cream) File:Alps_SKCL_Brown.jpg | [[Alps SKCL Brown]] File:Alps SKCL Amber -- recognition.jpg | [[Alps SKCL Amber]] File:Skcllockbrown.jpg | [[Alps SKCL Lock]] (brown) File:Alps SKCM Brown -- infobox.jpg | [[Alps SKCM Brown]] File:Alps SKCM Blue -- infobox.jpg | [[Alps SKCM Blue]] File:Alps SKCM Amber -- variants table.jpg | [[Alps SKCM Amber]] File:Alps SKCM Orange -- variants table.jpg | [[Alps SKCM Orange]] File:Alps SKCM Cream -- recognition.jpg | [[Alps SKCM Cream]] File:Alps SKCL Yellow -- variants table.jpg | [[Alps SKCL Yellow]] File:Alps SKCL Grey -- recognition.jpg | [[Alps SKCL Grey]] File:Alps lock infobox.jpg | [[Alps SKCL Lock]] (grey) File:Alps SKCL Heavy Grey.jpg | [[Alps SKCL Heavy Grey]] File:Alps SKCM Haru (bamboo) -- recognition.jpg | [[Alps SKCM Green]] (bamboo) File:Alps SKCM White -- variants table.jpg | [[Alps SKCM White]] (pine) File:Alps SKCM Cream Damped -- variants table.jpg | [[Alps SKCM Cream Damped]] (pine) File:Alps SKCM Salmon -- infobox.jpg | [[Alps SKCM Salmon]] File:Alps SKCM Black -- infobox.jpg | [[Alps SKCM Black]] (bamboo) File:Alps SKCM White Damped -- top.jpg | [[Alps SKCM White Damped]] </gallery> ===Alps SKBL/SKBM series=== <gallery widths=200 heights=150> File:No photograph.svg | [[Alps SKBL Yellow]] File:No photograph.svg | [[Alps SKBM White]] File:Alps SKBM Grey -- variants table.jpg | [[Alps SKBM Grey]] File:No photograph.svg | [[Alps SKBM Black]] File:Alps SKBM Black -- infobox.jpg | [[Alps SKBM Black Click]] File:No photograph.svg | [[Forward SKBL Black]] File:Fukka white ALPS switch.jpg | [[Forward SKBM White]] File:No photograph.svg | [[Forward SKBM Grey]] </gallery> ==Alps clones== Please note that the shells of most Alps clone switches are too similar to distinguish without very careful inspection, with the biggest differences being the underside of the base that cannot be seen in full without de-soldering a switch. The numbering is important, but the same numbering can be found on multiple switch types, and the same switch type can have multiple numbering styles. The only way to identify most Alps clones switches is to open the switch and examine the internals; see under [[four-tab clone]] for a guide to identifying typical Alps clone switches by internal parts. <gallery widths=200 heights=150> File:No photograph.svg | [[alps.tw Type OA1]] File:Alps.tw Type OA2 -- recognition.jpg | [[alps.tw Type OA2]] File:No photograph.svg | [[alps.tw Type OA4]]
