Alps SKCC Lock is a provisional name for the alternate action switch in Alps SKCC series.

Description

There is no internal spring, since the space is occupied by the lock mechanism.

No tall version appears to exist, as Apple keyboards with tall SKCC switches still used lock switches with short stems, with the difference in height accommodated via special keycaps.
