Title: SMK Green switches??
Post by: NovemberDusk on Fri, 18 January 2019, 02:59:34

Hi all,

So I was looking around eBay for more vintage boards (Can't stop, won't stop :p) and I found these SMK Alps mount Green switches on a Monterey K104 board?

(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/bt8AAOSwSidcQJwf/s-l1600.jpg)

As far as I know, SMK Green Alps have never been documented before! Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Does the image have broken white balance? Or is there a genuine new switch that we have not seen before?

Or am I just plain wrong.

Must be my eye color deficiency kicking in, what color does it look like to you?

Yup it's 100% yellow.

IMO looks like what happened to one of those old fake alps model m boards where the stem of the switch was normally blue, but yellowed or something over time. I doubt its something new since that looks like a typical smk blue board.
