Mill Max compatible?

[deveth0]

Hey, thank you so much for the board layouts! I plan to build a "hotswap" able version, do you know by any chance, if the board i compatible to Mill Max sockets?

Cheers

Never heard of them - unless they have the same pin locations as a cherry MX switch, they won't be compatible.

oh wow, that's fast, thanks! Mill max are just soldered into the wholes and provide some kind of hotswap for all kind of switches: https://keygem.store/products/mill-max-hot-swap-sockets?_pos=1&_sid=fd8fb5200&_ss=r

Hmm, looks like it should work. I can't remember exactly but the holes should be the standard 0.060" (1.524mm). This page shows the sleeve outer diameter at just under that (0.058" (1.47mm)), so they should squeeze in there.

Let me know if you try it out - I'm not much of a hot swapper but I've never seen these before and am curious how well they hold onto a switch!

Sure, I'll keep you posted! I'd love to be able also use the dumbpad as kind of switch tester, so hot swap is a plus

Sorry, can't provide feedback here as I did not order your PCB :(
