Hi,
I'm currently looking at building an odd shaped board with Cherry MX low profile red switches. but I've been having a lot of trouble finding info about them. I emailed Cherry asking for specs and the PCB footprint and they sent me the attached .PDF which i haven't seen before online.
I also need to think about stabilisers. Do the Cherry low profile switches need special stabilisers? or can they use the regular stabilisers?
Also, what will the PCB footprint be for said stabilisers?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is only my second board I've built.
Cheers

I think standard stabilizers must work as well since Cherry ML travel is 3 mm (lower than Cherry MX travel of 4 mm).
Edit:
Actually probably not. PCB mounted Cherry MX stabilizers may not fit because Cherry ML is lower.
But plate mounted Cherry MX stabilizers should work if you mount them on PCB with Cherry ML.
