Alps SKCL Amber is a linear switch in the "complicated" Alps SKCL/SKCM series. This switch was only used as a spacebar switch for the Tandem 6526 keyboard and other Korean-made boards from the former Goldstar Alps partnership. This switch is known as the Korean version of Alps SKCL Cream. The switch features long tabs similar to Alps SKCL Green and has only been observed with tall grey switchplates.
Unlike Alps SKCL Striped Amber this switch does not have any extra markings.
