What are the two switches in the middle?
Cherry MX black and Tai Hao APC blue (an alps clone still in production pretty much unchanged since the late 80s as far as I can tell)
Thanks!
I think they are logitech's switches and cherry mx
Close! MX and Tai Hao APC, not Logitech. Logitech doesn't actually make their own switches, Omron does it for them. You can see an Omron B3GS in row 2, column 2, and an Omron Logitech switch (can't remember the series name off hand) in last row, 3rd column.
Yeah I couldn’t find pictures and they do look like the Logitech switches. But according to op it’s apparently alps.
Alps clone*
Not made by alps. Tai Hao apc switches are to alps what Gateron switches are to cherry MX
The XM clones aren't even Gateron quality IMO. I did end up with three fullsize XM boards when a site was selling them for $5 a piece. They were definitely worth that much.
