Peeps - Anyone have the exact eyelet hole sizes for the following:

I need to grab some replacements from here:

Or somewhere way cheaper, because that place seems crazy expensive.

Thanks!

MM

They could be specific to the board, however here's Cherry's specs (http://www.cherrycorp.com/english/switches/key/mx.htm).

Thanks for the info. I think 0.059 will work, as that is the outer diameter of the eyelet, as well as the diameter of the larger eyelet hole.
