Not Cherry, that would be too easy.

I've seen these thick things before!

Wild guess: Alps.

The previous one was just evil :P

Next hint, my very first "calculator" with doubleshots had these switches.

Wasn't a guess, but I've seen something similar some time ago. Most presumably posted by you :ugeek: .
