Cherry MX Switch Breakout

Cherry MX Keyswitches are top-of-the-line mechanical keyboard switches. They’re satisfyingly “clicky” reliable up to tens-of-millions of key presses and a standard in gaming and programming keyboards across the globe. With the SparkFun Cherry MX Switch Breakout we have made the switches more easily adaptable to breadboard or perfboard-based projects. The Cherry MX Switch Breakout is a perfect prototyping tool for projects ranging from a single-key user-input to fully-custom 101-key keyboards. In addition to breaking out the switch contacts to breadboard-compatible headers the Cherry MX Switch Breakout also provides access to an optional switch-mounted LED. Plus the pin break-outs are designed with keyboard matrix-ing in mind so you can interconnect as many boards as you’d like into a row-column configuration keeping the I/O-pin requirements as low as possible.
