Notes
The slider on these switches is a pale grey that can almost be mistaken for white in some photos; simplified grey Alps uses a much darker shade of grey.
Additional images
Most of the 12 switches I received lack the Alps logo on the bottom; this has already been demonstrated in SKCMAQ by alps.tw, and his example also had the centre dimple that is present in all of mine that lack the logo.
Top comparison of switches with and without the logo; the top branding remains the same and the switches look identical.
