Half Height / Low Profile MX-Compatible Key Switches - 12 pack

For crafting your custom keyboard, these "Half Height" Low Profile MX key switches are compatible with standard MX layouts and solder-free sockets but are significantly shorter, for a slimmer build. Compared to standard "Cherry MX" compatible switches, which have 10mm above-board height, these have 7mm - but still have the 4mm actuator height. (The 'half height' comes from them having a remaining 3mm vs 6mm body height from the mounting plate to the actuation floor) 

Like "MX Black" key switches, these have a smooth linear keystroke. They're basically like MX blacks, but 3mm shorter.

• Type: Linear
• Operating force: 70 gf (+/-10 gf)
• Pretravel: 1.2mm
• Total travel: 3.0 mm

Comes in a pack of 12 switches designed to match up with our Adafruit MACROPAD here.

• Use these with our NeoKey boards, such as the Socket Breakout and the FeatherWing.
• They work great with mechanical key sockets if you want to avoid soldering.
• We also have MX-compatible keycaps to snap right on.
