 ==== Additional Information ====
-The switch was likely in production from 1986((Switchover of the Apple IIc from hairpin to Alps)) to around 1988((Introduction of Apple IIc Plus)). The switch only ever appeared in Apple IIc keyboards and was likely a custom order part - there is likely no part number for this switch. Variations in stem dye lots were commonplace and should not be taken as evidence of some instance of the switch being better than another.
+The switch was likely in production from 1986((Switchover of the Apple IIc from hairpin to Alps)) to around 1988((Introduction of Apple IIc Plus)). The switch only ever appeared in Apple IIc keyboards and was likely a custom order part - there is likely no catalog part number for this switch. Some late Apple IIc keyboard service modules were supplied with [[switch:alps_skcm_blue|SKCM Blue]] which implies SKCM Amber was discontinued after the Apple IIc Plus was introduced. Variations in stem dye lots were commonplace and should not be taken as evidence of some instance of the switch being better than another.
 The leaf spring that generates the tactile and audible events is similar to that of the first revision of [[switch:alps_skcm_blue|SKCM Blue]]'s leaf spring. The additional weight in the switch appears to be generated via the higher tactility of the leaf spring vis-à-vis SKCM Blue.
