Editing Apple Keyboard II (section)

===SMK===
The SMK variant uses [[SMK spring over membrane]], with Alps-mount sliders.<ref>Apple Rescue of Denver — [http://www.applerescueofdenver.com/products-page/all-products-macintosh/apple-keyboard-ii-parts/ Apple Keyboard II Parts]</ref>

The caps lock switch is [[SMK Alps mount lock]]. This single discrete switch is soldered to its own PCB and connected to the controller via flying leads.

The guide plate appears to be produced flat and then folded into shape; with very little effort, the segments for each row of keys can be snapped off.
