Does this really deserve its own wiki page? I mean, I've also seen "striped" blue and cream switches in my NEC and Sharp boards respectively and they do have a heavier force requirement than the non-striped variants but I still consider them the same switch family. Otherwise it seems we need to add striped blue and striped cream to the wiki.

do you have pictures of those stripped Blue and Cream Alps ?

Stripped Ambers are on one board and all of the switches of those boards were stripped the same way. I do think it's a switch on its own, therefore it needs its own page.

Heavy cream and Heavy blue are already well documented I believe.

Well, certainly not without getting paid your share of that sweet $PAM! income I’m sure the manual bots are rolling in. Live for the lifestyle!

My favorite part is how the account posted a favorite switch in his/her profile before posting this.

And even spammers know “mechanical keyboards” == Cherry MX. Ungh. While posting on an Alps thread no less!

+1. I don't want the spam on deskthority showing up in search results for something like iMessage on Windows.

Indeed. We’d rather those looking for +Windows +iMessage and finding DT wind up reading about Alps keyswitches instead. They’ll spare themselves a Trojan and maybe even some of the keyboard arcana will pique their curiosity.
