    Maybe SnapEDA and their new KiCad plugin [1] would be a good fit for you? I've not used the plugin myself but I do use SnapEDA footprints myself occasionally. I also try and keep on top of all the footprints available on GitHub and add them to our repo [2], you can add this globally and search through it from within KiCad.

    You can just import one. The SparkFun library includes a pro micro footprint that you can drop right onto your schematic and PCB. Looks like it also has MX switch footprints as well.
