Title: Does anyone still make Locking/Latching switches?
Post by: bmmcwhirt on Sat, 07 January 2017, 22:17:47

I know Cherry use to but discontinued the locking switch and they are near impossible to find.

I am trying to make a one off mechanical replacement for a C64 which uses a locking shift lock key.

olkb.com has had some MX ones for sale.

You may have to ask Jack if he still has any. https://www.reddit.com/r/olkb/ (https://www.reddit.com/r/olkb/)

Thanks guys. Someone sent me a private message and every thing checks out so I'm getting 3 which is enough for my project. I'll leave this open for a day or tow in case anyone has any more input.
