Hi,
I know this topic is getting a bit old, but as this is the only place I found a Fritzing part for the Cherry MX switches, I'll post my feedback here.
First, thank you for making it. I don't even know where to start making a part in Fritzing. It's a tough job, and you invested your time in it.
I used the part as-is, in a small PCB for "preproduction". I had it made at Fritzing Fab (which is my main driver in using Fritzing: That big green "Make" button) Here are the things I noticed on the received PCB:
- I'm using a Cherry MX Blue for PCB mount (not plate mount), the "stabilizing pins" (small plastic protuberances) align perfectly with some hole "drawing", but there is no real hole there (the big one in the center, and the two smaller ones to its right and left)
- With the same switch, I see the switch has some drillings at the bottom for maybe a standard, one color LED, but it doesn't lineup with something on the PCB. The closest match are two SMD pads (meant for SMD diode maybe?), but these are slighly too wide (the LED pins would fall in between the pads) and too "down" (the LED would fall higher than that)
So, the part is not usable "as-is" on real life PCB (at least for MX Blue PCB mount, no internal diode, no internal LED), but a good start for someone knowing how to adjust it.
I'll fallback to "ghetto wiring" my diodes and jumper cables for this build. It's so more fun...
