I have this Apple II numeric keypad with a keyswitch I don't recognize. It looks like it should be a Cherry MX Blue, but I don't think it is. Is it a variant or what? PLEASE HELP.

Thanks,

Jon

Suspect Alps integrated dome:

Yeah, I thought that also, but I have never seen a blue one before.

Do you have a shot of the whole device? Looks different from the usual as well…

Starting to wonder if that’s SMK or a clone thereof… very interesting!

Maybe this:

USw LMBU01
Black, with a medium blue slider — assumed to be Cherry MX mount as the slider dimensions appear to match those of USw LMBW01
