There seems to be a lot of variation in Alps keyswitches out there, including some cheap knock-offs. Hmm. I really need to learn Japanese, since the Google translation of that page is only slightly better than staring blankly at the Japanese characters. I wish Alps were still making these switches, since I'm building my own keyboard right now and have to settle for switches scavenged from another. It seems Cherry is the only other manufacturer still producing mechanical keyswitches intended for keyboards. They make nice high-quality switches, but I just don't prefer the feel.
