Are ALPS SKBM Black pin-compatible with ALPS SKCM Blue?
« on: Sun, 25 June 2017, 17:45:00 »
As the title states, are ALPS SKBM Black (simplified black alps; example: ABS M1) pin-compatible with ALPS SKCM Blue?  I'm wondering if a PCB that contains the former could accept the latter by simply desoldering the SKBM Black switch and replacing it with an SKCM Blue switch.

Simplified Alps are electrically compatible with complicated Alps.

Yes, the two types are interchangeable.
