-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]].+SKCM Ivory was introduced in around 1989, and appears to have been produced until 1995.
