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

View full size image 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.
View full size image Top comparison of switches with and without the logo; the top branding remains the same and the switches look identical.
