    Search github for the right footprint libraries, if you are using KiCAD here are the footprints I use for Kailh Choc style switches: https://github.com/daprice/keyswitches.pretty

    I guess the term you are looking for is footprint. That refers to the features which allow for your part to correctly connect to your PCB. There is this repository for a broad selection of switches https://github.com/daprice/keyswitches.pretty I'm not 100% where I got the spacing between keys from, but just use one of the many open source keyboard projects as a reference. Or if you already have the key caps and switch on hand, measure their dimensions.
  • keyswitches.pretty example matrix
    1 project | /r/ErgoMechKeyboards | 17 Dec 2022
    Does anybody know of any kicad projects on Github using https://github.com/daprice/keyswitches.pretty, preferably the choc hot swap footprint ("Kailh_socket_PG1350")? I'm getting close to ordering my (first) PCB and the previous (non hotswap footprints I was using had the pins numbered the opposite way ([1 2] rather than [2 1]) which has thrown me a little since this is my first project so just want to sense check my matrix against one using the same footprint.
  • So I decided to learn KiCad, and this is the result.

    I think it was this one: https://github.com/daprice/keyswitches.pretty, I went with Kailh_socket_PG1350 and it fits perfectly.
  • Kicad choc and mx footprint?

    I use these https://github.com/daprice/keyswitches.pretty
  • Low Profile Switches on BM40?
    2 projects | /r/olkb | 21 Apr 2022
    I can't find a footprint comparison right now for Gateron low profile switches, but it appears BM40 kb's are Cherry MX compatible, so as long as it has the same footprint as MX, it fits. If you have time and tools, check this Github repository, it might have the switch's footprint you're looking for !

    I found this library, the Kailh_socket_MX_optional_reversible footprint seems to be what I want, but it says it doesn't support PCB mounting, which I'm not sure what it means.
