Title: Leopold FC200R switch change
Post by: Dionysos on Wed, 04 March 2015, 15:58:06

I have an old Leopold w/cherry blues. Is it possible to switch those out for the Matias Quiet Clicks? Matias is plate mounted, and the cherry switches are also plate mounted. I didn't know if the pin configuration was different.

I guess I would need the keycaps for the matias switches as well.. IDK if those are available somewhere..

Unless something big has changed, Matias switches do not fit into the footprint of Cherry switches.  The pins are different.
