'''Alps SKCC Side-Angled Cream''' is a switch in the [[Alps SKCC series]].

==Description==
Side-Angled Cream uses an angled, bar mount keystem, where the angle is in-plane with the keystem itself; "side-angled" is simply in reference to the fact that the keystem is angled 90° out from the orientation of the Alps logo on the base (as though the keycaps were facing sideways). SKCC angled is not otherwise known, and [[General Instrument Series S950]] keystems are angled in the expected direction. At 6 mm wide, the keystem is too large for normal SKCC keycaps. The slider is tall. The same mount was used in [[Alps SKFF series]], also in Facit typewriters.

The only known [[switchplate]] to date is black; the switch also uses red [[sealed terminals|terminal sealant]].

The switch depicted below is from surplus stock held by Swedish supplier Belganet Dataelektronik. Their origin is unknown, but they are likely to be Facit typewriter spares.
