Hello.

Does anybody have cherry M9 specifications? I bough an old keyboard and it gets these switches. Unfortunately pcb in this keyboard is damaged. So I want to restore it. I searched a while for specs, but can`t find any.

This is the keyboard:

Adorable keyboard! Even I wouldn't know how to adapt to a modifier-less layout! Love it. :D

As for designing a replacement PCB: could be time for callipers. What does the damaged one look like?

Awesome keyboard. That the third row is shifted an entirely unit to the left is mind boggling.

It's a standard contact based switch, and works the same way as any other contact based switch, like cherry MX.

Are you looking to repair/bodge the PCB, make a new PCB or handwire it?
