| Not much is known about the switch, an unfortunate trend across all Alps switches produced by the Gold Star Alps partnership. It appears to be mostly used as a spacebar switch in keyboards containing [[switch:alps_skcl_brown|Alps SKCL Brown]]. | Not much is known about the switch, an unfortunate trend across all Alps switches produced by the Gold Star Alps partnership.

| There is an additional variant, sometimes 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)((https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?p=333591#p333591)), similar to [[switch:alps_skcm_blue|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. | 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).

| It has only been seen in a single keyboard, which lends credence to it either being a custom order or factory mystery. | It has only been seen in a single keyboard, which lends credence to it either being a custom order or factory mystery. |
