 The switch follows the general characteristics of the SKCL family, consisting of an upper and lower housing, [[:terminology:contact_module|contact module]], [[:terminology:stem|stem]], and spring. The upper housing has a hole for an LED, but the bottom housing will only have holes for the LED legs to pass through in switches ordered with an LED. The switch follows the general characteristics of the SKCL family, consisting of an upper and lower housing, [[:terminology:contact_module|contact module]], [[:terminology:stem|stem]], and spring.

 The stem, which is brown, is almost always lubricated and is likely made of a nylon blend((tested on SKCM Blue via [[https://wiki.keyboard.institute/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=switch:skcmblueburntest.mp4|burn test]])).  The stem, which is brown, is almost always lubricated and is likely made of a nylon blend((tested on SKCM Blue via [[https://wiki.keyboard.institute/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=switch:skcmblueburntest.mp4|burn test]])).

-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 an analog for [[switch:alps_skcm_cream|SKCM Cream]], but used in full keyboards more commonly than its Japanese counterpart.+Not much is known about the switch, an unfortunate trend across all Alps switches produced by the Gold Star Alps partnership.
