The Cathode or the black line or the negative side will face the Square pad.
How do Heavy reds feel? Do they feel more like red's than blacks?
I think the red stem feels more hollow than the blacks and black stems feel a little more "stiff or solid"
What do you have to say?
I'm making these two for someone else, but I have tried reds on my daily driver for a long while. I had a QFR in reds from PChome when they were first available. I really liked it. If you can "float" your fingers, you can really type fast on it, and gaming was easy too. now I've migrated to heavier switches, and use greens / buckling spring as my daily and sometimes I go to my ergoclears keyboard (phantom)
I'll bu putting either whites or light whites in my ergoDOX, I think.
Cherry blacks are my least favourite switch by far, but I have the most of them (for cherry, I have many many more B/S switches, even if I only count model F's). Several WYSE keyboards, several access-is, etc.

So I thought I was right. Line = pad. as long as I doublecheck before soldering, I should be okay, as the LH size is the reverse of the RH side.
Thanks for the confirmation, TheQsanity. It was a lot easier to visually check my personal ergoDOX, which I learned how to SMD for. My close vision must be decent, 'cause I can see the lines on the SM diodes quite well. It's harder for the diodes inside cherry switches, though.
