Alps common mount low profile is a provisional name for a low-profile PCB mount switch from Alps. This switch uses the common "Alps mount" keycap mount, unlike the Alps low profile switch which has a unique mount.[1] The slider design is similar to that of Alps SKCL/SKCM series, but reduced in front-to-back depth to fit inside the switch's small shell; the contact mechanism is very similar to that of Alps SKFL.

The only branding is a minute Alps logo in the centre of the base, visible only by desoldering the switch.[1]
