KBK update for Saturday, 28th December

Dr.Click AKA Dr.Dick sent some switches by way of UncleFan. This included something very peculiar: “FD”-branded blue Alps. These are not the ones that show up on Taobao (that are simply SKBM Grey under blueish light): these are proper SKCMAG switches branded “FD” instead of “ALPS” on the bottom, almost the same as the “F D” branding on later SKBL/SKBM switches.

They are grey switchplate and pine, which means that they are neither late-issue nor early issue. They were found in a scrapped keyboard with no case, and Dr.Click threw away the PCB before realising that the switches were unusual. They are interspersed with Alps-branded blue Alps switches, and all of them have a particularly dark shade of blue pigment.
