[GB] Cherry MX Lock - ROUND 2 - SHIPPED - EXTRAS SOLD

You don't need lock support in TMK afaik. You just need support for ACTION_LAYER_MOMENTARY().

I wonder if mx locks can be used in most pcb without tinkering?
I plan to use it on my nerd on the caps lock position.
Do you know if it will work?

it should work since it has exactly the same pins and mount as a regular mx switch. the only thing that probably won't work is an led

depending on the pcb, you might be able to get it to work. pcbs that support full-touch capslock as well as stepped have 3-4 led holes in the pcb. i have not tried it, but it looks like the octagon v2 and zz96 could do it

Oh, it's fine as the nerd pcb has it's own caplocks indicator right beside it.
so an in switch led is not necessary

Ahhh okay, I will have a look later. Thanks!

On second check, the nerd pcb does support leds like you said only on off-centered caps lock.
Good thing I'll be using that layout so all in all, it all worked out
