The nubs are not yet adjustable for Kailh from the configuration layer. I would like to support Kailh switches, but I will have to get some first, or find detailed specs, and then add them to the application as a configurable type. I am currently working on unrelated features.
Are (these specs](http://www.kailh.com/en/Products/Mechanical_keyboard_switch/165.html) detailed enough (at the bottom click dimensions)?
I guess I don't know for sure if the bases for all the different types are identical but I would think would be.
For some reason, www.kailh.com has been variously unreachable and extremely slow for the past month. The specs there are pretty good. They don’t provide full details on the nubs, but together with photos elsewhere I now have a fair idea of what to do.
Kailh makes a bunch of different styles. I assume this issue pertains to the PG1511 series. Correct me if I’m wrong.
I'd be happy to buy these optical switches for you, Viktor. I talked with a Kailh support representative, and the model number for the optical switches is CPG151101D206, which strangely is not visible on their site. I also received a screenshot of the datasheet, with dimensions very similar to the link posted by Stephen.
No idea, if this could help, but there's a pull request by @rishka on tshort's repository about adding Kaihl support: https://github.com/tshort/dactyl-keyboard/pull/36 (if given permission to use said code, of course)
Kailh compatibility has been added. Set switch-type
→ kailh-pg1511
, as demonstrated in this new bundled configuration file. Support includes the PG1511 series, with two caveats:
clearance
→ use-key-style
to false
(the default value), and clearance
→ nominal
to whatever you need.dmote-keycap
library cannot yet make working custom keycaps. As long as you’re using keycaps from other sources, that won’t be a problem.@veikman Thanks! DMOTE is an amazing project. (I'm especially fond of the thumb cluster you've created.)
I'm trying to adapt mx.yaml to support Kailh switches. I've added key-mount-thickness: 1.4 which makes the switch slot thin enough for the switches' built-in clips to work. However, I couldn't find how to shrink or get rid of the mx nubs in the side of the switch slots. How does one adjust the nubs?
