This is the only type where I've obtained anything to photograph:

[wiki]Kailh PG1511 series[/wiki]

These are all the others we know about:

[wiki]Kailh PG1275 series[/wiki] (who told you we have this type?)
[wiki]Kailh PG1280 series[/wiki] 13*13*8mm
[wiki]Kailh PG1350 series[/wiki] 15*15*5mm
[wiki]Kailh PG1458 series[/wiki] (who told you we have this type?)
[wiki]Kailh PG1510 series[/wiki] without this type
[wiki]Kailh PG1518 series[/wiki] 15.6*13.9*10.7mm longhua switch ,the life is 50 million
[wiki]Kailh PG1593 series[/wiki] 15*15.4*9.3mm center full-color RGB

Someone on AliExpress who sells Kailh switches was going to try to arrange to obtain the rest (if we understood each other correctly) but nothing ever came of it. In many cases, the Kailh website doesn't even have clear specifications.

A while ago I posted a switch with a click bar here. Which switch is it?

Do you have a product catalog or something like this that you could share with us? I find it difficult to understand all the differences in your product line.

Thank you!

1. Remove all the incorrect and outdated information, especially non-existent products!
2. Improve the organisation of the whole site as it's rather muddled — I created most of the wiki pages from a list of new products, but someone else found that for me and you can't even get to it normally
3. Document your products thoroughly and clearly, with specific lists of variants per series and descriptive prose about each product's benefits
4. Move all the text out of images and into actual HTML text: in order to translate the text, all I can do is use Google's handwriting recognition, and many of the Chinese characters are crushed so small that I can't even guess at the finer details and handwriting recognition can't offer me any suggestions

That's a bit aggressive isn't it? First of all, we don't know what this person's position is, and if they even have the authority to do so. Second, just having someone from the company here is a cool thing. We could work with them rather than being elitist in our responses,IMO.

to be honest this is good advice for any company....

you aren't going to get many sales if your data is a fucking mess and people dkon't know what they buy

My one piece of advice, to kailh and other manufacturers: please, don't spam the forum. Please keep your initial discussion limited to one or two threads. It makes it easier for us to follow the conversation and build a relationship. This is certainly a cultural thing. I remember when some folks from pcbway came on to the forum and spammed on a bunch of threads. I get what they were trying to do - build interest and get the word out - but it annoyed a lot of people and some even boycotted them.

kailh, I'm looking forward to seeing more information about your switches, and possibly some of the new things you have in the works!
