DAMPED ALPS KEYSWITCHES:A SPECIAL TYPE OF SWITCH!"DAMPED" means that the keyswitches have a uniquefeature: Inside the switch, there are two special tiny rubberbumpers that quiet the sounds of the keypresses; thisfeature is a positive trait for typists who do their worknear others: in a typing cubicle, in a small apartmentshared with others, or in a large open space amongother co-workers. TACTILITY is preserved, meaningthat the "feel" in the typing fingers is noticeableto the person. As is true with all ALPS keyswitches,the switch can be opened and the tiny rubber bumperscan be seen and inspected in detail.Every keyswitch has been tested with an ohmmeter, andis confirmed working. Every switch has been lightlylubricated with MAX-PRO, an electronics lubricant thatis specialized for switches.
