Looking for switches
Posted: 28 Oct 2015, 17:39
I am trying to find replacements for some MEI (Datalux) keyboard switches. The switches are MEI like this http://deskthority.net/wiki/MEI_switch
I have also attached a picture of one with and one without the cover.
I am talking to Datalux, but not sure if they will be able to find me anything. The switches use a Cherry MX cruciform mount, but the MX switches are too tall to fit in the units these go in. These are about 1/4" tall. Some of the circuit boards I have use Cherry M8 series switches, but they are also obsolete. Does anybody know of a similar height switch using the MX mount? I would like to have switches to match the pinouts of these (4 pin on .4" spacing) or the M8 which is a 2 pin with odd spacing, but I may just wind up making complete new circuit boards if I can't find that.
