So, are both interchangeable? Is there any source of Alps springs? My M110A is a great keyboard but the switches are heavy, I mean, HEAVY. They're in fact Mitsumi made, but should work too.

SPRiT sells some Alps springs: https://www.spritdesigns.com/product-page/alps
I use them in Alps Browns and so far I have no complaints. Not sure if they fit Alps SKCC though, but from my experience they look really similar.

MItsumi springs are compatible (so are the contact leaves, but there really isn't any reason to do that) I think SKCM/L springs are shorter but should still work.

Thanks. I just remembered a friend has this thing:

Will be funny to play around with some springs.
