Title: Did I just score and MX Lock switch?
Post by: nubbinator on Fri, 11 July 2014, 21:56:47

I stumbled across this Marquette keyboard a while ago, but was ambivalent about buying it.  While looking at the pics tonight, I noticed something interesting.  Aside from the fact that it's obviously Cherry or Hirose, if you look at the 4th pic, it looks like the cap with the lock symbol on it in the 3rd pic has an MX Lock switch.  Anyone have any luck with Marquette boards in the past?

It looks like you did. I haven't seen any other MX switch that has a grey top piece or a shifted LED hole. Nice find!

Yep, that grey housing with offset led slot is the dead giveaway for lock switch as it's the only one that use that upper housing. Funky little thing.
