This is the most common KPT switch. The slider is completely rectangular in cross section. There is one long lower plate mount securing lug per side.

The switch is confirmed to be not an [[Omron clone]]. The distance between the top of the [[PCB]] and the bottom of the [[plate]] should be 4.5 mm, but instead it is around 6.7 mm. Instead of 12.2 mm, the switch is 13.3 mm tall including stand-offs. With this deviation alone, replacement of all switches in a keyboard should be possible, as the PCB is not typically attached to the plate, and the leg spacing appears to be the same. However, the switch dimensions at the mounting plate are approximately 15.5 × 12.5 mm compared to the Omron expectation of 13.4 mm squared.
