The PCB from my ALPS mechanical keyboard for my Atari 800XL is damaged. I'm planning to try my hand at creating a new PCB using KiCAD and just moving the switches over. I've looked and haven't had a lot of luck finding an ALPS switch model/footprint that I can use with KiCAD. Is anyone aware of there being one for the ALPS SKFL standard switches and where I may find it if it exists. If it doesn't, I'm going to need to try and create my own. In that case, is anyone aware of a detailed datasheet for the ALPS SKFL standard switches? I've not had any luck on that front either.
Thanks to anyone that may be able to offer information.
Looking for ALPS SKFL standard switch model or datasheet?

Excellent! I'm going to need to do a whole lot of learning just to create the PCB. I didn't necessarily want to have to learn to create a footprint on top of it. This will save me some work. Thank you very much!
