- Operating Mechanism: Tactile switch used in mechanical keyboards.
- Pins: Two pins (1 and 2) for electrical connection.
Function:- Switching Action: When a key is pressed, the switch completes an electrical circuit between the two pins. This action sends a signal, typically to a microcontroller or other digital logic, indicating that the key has been pressed.
- Tactile Feedback: Depending on the specific variant of the Cherry MX switch, it can provide tactile or clicky feedback to the user, confirming that the key press has been registered.
Typical Use:- Keyboards: Used in mechanical keyboards to detect when a key is physically pressed.
- Interface: Typically part of a keyboard matrix where multiple switches are connected in a grid pattern to reduce the number of input/output lines needed.
Electrical Characteristics:- Voltage Rating: Typically operates at low voltage, often 5V or 3.3V depending on the keyboard design.
- Debouncing: May require debouncing either through software or hardware to avoid registering multiple presses from a single action.
