Half Height / Low Profile MX-Compatible Key Switches - 12 pack
Description
Perfect for building your custom keyboard, these "Half Height" Low Profile MX key switches are compatible with standard MX layouts and solder-free sockets, offering a significantly slimmer design. While standard Cherry MX switches have a height of 10mm above the board, these switches measure just 7mm, yet maintain a 4mm actuator height. The "half height" designation refers to their 3mm body height from the mounting plate to the actuation floor, compared to the usual 6mm.
