**Alps SKCC Green** is a linear switch in the Alps SKCC Series.

==== Characteristics ====
The switch follows the general characteristics of the SKCC family, consisting of an upper and lower housing, [[:terminology:contact_module|contact module]], [[:terminology:stem|stem]], and spring. 

The stem, which is a green color, is always lubricated and is likely made of a nylon blend((supposition based on materials in first generation SKCM/SKCL)). 

Alps SKCC Green, like all SKCC series switches, uses a contact module to register the keypress. This sits in the middle of the housing opposite the spring.

==== Additional Information ====

The switch was likely in production from as early as 1983((Earliest sighting: IBM "Pingmaster")) to at least 1989((As replacement switches, with short contact module)). The switch is significantly less common than its sibling, [[switch:alps_skcc_cream|SKCC Cream]]. It was also available in an LED variant. The LED version of the switch has a different housing that allows for a bent metal contact to be inserted over the top of the switch. Two springs are welded or soldered to the contact and the LED is suspended between them.
