Title: Identification of microswitch
Post by: faisal on Wed, 06 January 2021, 03:25:29

Hi all. I salvaged this switch from an IBM mouse and using it in my LOGITECH Trackman mouse. Can anybody please tell me the origin and company who made it.

Without a side view it's a bit hard to say 100% but I'm 99.9% sure it's just a generic d2f switch from some manufacturing house in China.

I'd swap it with a Japanese Omron D2F and call it a day (don't pay extra for gold).

Thanks. I have already ordered some D2F-F, D2F-01F and other popular switches to change in the future.
This question was out of curiosity, as I thought may be, it could be a super micro switch from an old mouse.

One more out of topic questions from all members.

Can any body tell which micro switches are used in FUJITSU mouses. I think they must have Japanese switches in them.
