Notes
This is an Alps clone from an unknown manufacturer, and appears to be new on the market at the time of writing (2015). The internals are a copy of early Tai-Hao APC series switches, with a wide steel click leaf and a wide stationary contact.Despite buying these new from AliExpress, I have not managed to obtain any form of identity for these switches. There is no form of identification present, only mould numbers.
They have a sharp tactile feel and loud click.
