I used paper clips to pull the scroll lock keycap, and the word ALPS was written on it. It's not as clicky as say a Cherry MX Blue. I think it's the tactile bump that is producing the "click" sound. It could be a knock off. The travel feels relatively shoter than cream/orange/black ALPS.

I will after this weekend. A bit busy this week. I know it's kind of stupid from me to ask for help and then not in a hurry to fix the keyboard. But there is an important event in the life of my daughter this ...
