MX Style PCB mount switch with three legs?
« on: Wed, 29 October 2014, 00:20:43 »
I stumbled across this PCB shot and can't for the life of me figure out what the switch could be.  It has three soldered legs like an Omron switch, but very clearly has a large center post and two smaller side posts like Cherry or some of the Alps clones with identical PCB mount setups:



Sorry the photo is crap, it's all they have.

Cherry ML. You just can't see pin #4 in the photo.

Thanks.  I knew I had to have been overlooking something easy to ID....and I was.

at first I was like "omron" then I looked closer and saw the PCB inserts and I thought: "it's those G84 KBs" so I looked it up in my files and remembered it's called ML.

So no worries. It took me a sec to get it also, and I own one.
