 It is possible that the part number for the switch is SKCLAC as this part number is directly adjacent to the part number for SKCL Cream which is SKCLAD. “SKCLAC” is listed at several obsolete switch part sellers with no pictures to confirm. It is possible that the part number for the switch is SKCLAC as this part number is directly adjacent to the part number for SKCL Cream which is SKCLAD. “SKCLAC” is listed at several obsolete switch part sellers with no pictures to confirm.

 There is another version of this switch with an amber stem that appears to have been present in arcade machines. Its part number, if any, is unknown. There is another version of this switch with an amber stem that appears to have been present in arcade machines. Its part number, if any, is unknown.

 During the first generation, a series of variant switches was manufactured in Korea under the Gold Star Alps partnership. Some of these switches appear to be analogs to switches in the mainline series, like SKCL Brown and the Gold Star SKCL Lock, whereas others are unique. It's unknown if production stopped here for the second generation or if Gold Star Alps started making identical switches. During the first generation, a series of variant switches was manufactured in Korea under the Gold Star Alps partnership.

 There is an additional variant, often referred to as “Striped Amber” that appears to be a custom order (as denoted by 'lipstick marking' on the slider). This differs from the black marker used for heavy switches in the regular SKCM/SKCL line, but is not necessarily indicative of anything as the switches were not manufactured in the same plants. This switch has a significantly lighter spring (~55g), similar to SKCM Blue - it appears different visually, but this is likely due to the smaller diameter of the spring post in the first generation SKCL stem. It has only been seen in a single keyboard, which lends credence to it either being a custom order or factory mystery. There is an additional variant, often referred to as “Striped Amber” that appears to be a custom order (as denoted by 'lipstick marking' on the slider).
