'''Alps SKFL LED''' is the integrated LED version of the [[Alps SKFL]] switch. The only difference between the two switches is the lid, which with SKFL LED has a hole for the LED.

===Disassembly===
Attempting to disassemble the switch is difficult and likely to cause damage. Inserting a screwdriver to release the sides of the lid will tear apart the switch, and gripping the legs of the lid will flatten them and lose their distinctive shape.
