Alps SKCC Grey is a rare switch in the Alps SKCC series.
Description[edit | edit source]
SKCC Grey is a switch in the SKCC line that is both lower travel and heavier weight than SKCC Cream.
Travel appears to be intentionally reduced by around half a millimeter by lengthening the posts at the bottom of the slider, this is likely to better match existing ALPS switches that SKCC grey replaced.<ref name="Deskthority-25106" /> In some pictures of the switch the slider looks to be grey and in other pictures it looks to be black but no pictures directly comparing a black and grey slider are known to exist so it is not possible to know for certain if the apparent difference in color is a result of variant lighting conditions or of legitimately different plastic.<ref name="Imgur-2125"/>
Keyboards[edit | edit source]
- Sharp X1 series keyboards (used for the smaller silver buttons at the top, while the rest of the keyboard is SKCC Green)
