Notes

This is a switch identical to Alps SKCMAG, but with Forward Electronics “FD” branding on the base, similar to how SKBL/SKBM would later come to be branded “F D”. They were found in an unidentified scrap keyboard alongside Alps-branded blue Alps switches by Dr.Click, who disposed of the PCB before he noticed the unusual switches. As such, the keyboard cannot be identified.
