Input Module Keyboard Switches

[MJ1]

@Solrac

That I can understand, but what key switch is it based on? Cause on can assume it’s PG1316, looking at the pins, but I rather ask to be sure.

Sorry, I must have missed notification of your reply. Very late response, but it wouldn’t likely be a Kailh PG1316 switch. The FWL16 has 3.7mm of height available

@TheTwistgibber

almost anything can be created into an Input Module. The only limit is your imagination, and the 3.7mm height constraints.

Kailh PG1316 is over that even without the keycap or PCB.

I don’t think there is any off-the-shelf keyswitch module that is thin enough. Cherry MX ULP is 3.5mm, but it needs to be connected to a PCB underneath it. And then room for a keycap. cherrymx.de/en/cherry-mx/mx-ultra-low-profile/mx-ulp-click.html

I would think Framework is working on a custom module, perhaps based off of components of keyswitch mechanism used in their current FWL16 keyboards.
