Mitsumi KGL Type is a scissor switch type and custom keyboard series.
Description
The 2000 datasheet gives the total height as 5.8 mm, and full travel as 2.8 mm. The scissor mechanism is depicted using only a very simplistic diagram. Key pitch is given as 16.5 to 19.05 mm.
A revised 2003 datasheet covers a "NewKGL" design, illustrated in more detail. Here, the total height was surprisingly increased by 0.3 mm to 6.1 mm, and full travel was increased by 0.2 mm to 3.0 mm. A second switch design is included, for smaller keys (such as cursor keys and function keys): these have only half the lifetime (5 M instead of 10 M) and only 2.5 mm of travel, but still the full 6.1 mm height. Full-size keys have 19.05 mm pitch, while smaller keys can have a pitch between 14.2 and 16.2 mm.
Legends can be provided using pad printing and laser marking.
