'''Alps SKCC Green''' is a switch in [[Alps SKCC series]].

==Description==
The [[return spring]] has been found with 11 and with 12 active turns, both pictured below. The switch is a slightly lighter weight than [[Alps SKCC Cream]], whose spring has been found with 9 active turns for the same approximate length and gauge. SKCC Green's spring has been measured as 10.7 mm long with 0.21 mm gauge wire.

Based on non-scientific keystem-to-keystem testing, SKCC Green appears to be the same weight as [[General Instrument Series S950]] (rated at 60 gf), while it is heaver than [[RAFI RS 76 C]] 010 (estimated 50 cN). SKCC Green also appears to share the same return spring as S95010. This would suggest a 60 gf actuation force for Green. From the spring turn ratio (11:9 Cream/Green), this would put [[Alps SKCC Cream]] at around 70 cN.
