Title: Best option for miniature keyboard switches for raspberry pi Amiga
Post by: arcadeperfect on Mon, 31 May 2021, 19:27:57
Hello!

I'm in the process of designing a raspberry pi case in the style of a mini Amiga (nostalgic for English people...)

The case will have a working mini keyboard which I'm designing a PCB for. The only mini switches I've ever used are the regular 6mm omron ones you find commonly in arduino projects:

I was wondering if there's anything of a similar foot print that has a better feel? I'm not expecting topre here just whatever's possible. I'm vaguely aware there's some mouse switch options around but those are still too big I think.

Thanks for any help!
