No need to apologize because I won't pretend to be an expert myself and we're always learning in one context or another. 🤝

BBKs are normal mechanical keyboard switches with a shorter travel distance of 3.4mm.

Having never used the Alpacca v2, both are 5-pin, but it appears that the Alpacca housings are opaque (and not clear), meaning that you'll lose out on the RGBs at the switch location.

Here's a picture of the Halo 65 with all the switches pulled. You'll see a north-side RGB at each switch location that the Alpacas would presumably block.

Alright. Purchased. Now we wait. Got the baby raccoons to try them out but will probably swap in alpacas.
