 The switch follows the general characteristics of the SKCC family, consisting of an upper and lower housing, [[:terminology:contact_module|contact module]], [[:terminology:stem|stem]], and spring.
-However, there are many additional parts and changes. The top and bottom housings are unique, fitting together entirely differently to the rest of the series. There is a flat, pressure based second stage at the bottom of the switch, similar to that seen in [[switch:alps_skcp_double_action|Alps SKCP Double Action]]. Feedback for the second stage is produced via a leaf spring on top of the top housing that is pressed by the slider at the very bottom of the travel.

 ==== Additional Information ====
-There is another version of this switch with an amber stem that appears to have been present in arcade machines((http://erwin1.blog64.fc2.com/blog-entry-32.html)). Its part number, if any, is unknown.
+There is a [[https://wiki.keyboard.institute/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=switch:de3308989a1.pdf|German patent for the switch]] which contains some information. It is as yet untranslated, but drawings show it to clearly be this switch.
-The switch was likely introduced between 1983 and 1985((Alps sampler pack)) and existed as late as 1994((Alps 1994 catalog)). It is unknown what became of this switch in the third generation of the series.
