+SKCM Ivory straddles the second and third generations, and as such can be found with and without slits, though the version with slits is much more common.

 The tactile feedback is generated with a leaf spring that is situated on the opposite side of the housing to the contact module. There are two revisions of the leaf spring.

 ==== Additional Information ====
-SKCM Ivory was introduced in around 1989, and appears to have been produced until 1995. There are two revisions of the tactile leaf spring - the first being the hole-punched type, the same as is found in both [[switch:alps_skcm_orange|SKCM Orange]] and [[switch:alps_skcm_salmon|SKCM Salmon]], and the later type being the "dimple" leaf seen in third-generation [[switch:alps_sckm_black|SKCM Black]] and [[switch:alps_skcm_white_ivory|SKCM White Ivory]].
