Where can you buy Kailh's new ML switches?
« on: Thu, 29 December 2016, 23:53:44 »
Anyone know where to buy Kailh's new ML switches? 

Also, anyone have any data on pinout positions, and dimensions?  I'd like to design a PCB that utilizes them

I'd wait for keycaps… Anyway, matt3o knows.

Right now I just want to know if they're available, and Id like to see some design specs so I can start designing a PCB.  Ill definitely wait for keycaps before I spend any money

There's this datasheet, but it's supposedly slightly outdated.

I tried to find the data sheet that was posted but I think it was removed. I don't think that they will be publicly available for a while yet.

Your bet bet would probably be to contact matt3o. He has a connection with the distributor.

Nah, I'll just be patient.  I'm going to design a 40% PCB, and hopefully make a bunch of them.  However, I wouldn't mind getting an updated data sheet.  I'd like to get a head start on designing it.  I'd really like to figure out if the pin layouts can accomodate a combination MX/ML PCB design.
