+**Alps SKCM White** is a clicky switch in the second and third generations of the Alps SKCM/SKCL Series.
 ==== Characteristics ====
 The switch follows the general characteristics of the SKCM family, consisting of an upper and lower housing, [[:terminology:contact_module|contact module]], [[:terminology:stem|stem]], spring and a [[:terminology:leaf_spring|leaf spring]] for generating the tactile event and click sound.
-The switch was produced both in the second and third generations, with part numbers SKCMAQ and SKCMCQ respectively. As a result, it is only seen with the later, short contact module. SKCMAQ is pictured in the infobox, SKCMCQ in the gallery.
+The switch was produced both in the second and third generations, with part numbers SKCMAQ and SKCMCQ respectively. As a result, it is only seen with the later, short contact module. SKCMAQ is pictured in the infobox, SKCMCQ in the gallery. The second generation version of the switch has slits in the upper housing ("pine" version), and the third generation has no slits ("bamboo" version).
 The stem is colorless plastic, likely POM (although testing is required on transitional models which may be colorless nylon).
