| Manufacturer | Mitsumi |
|---|---|
| Sense method | Metal leaf |
| Keycap mount | Mitsumi mount, Cherry MX mount |
| Switch mount | PCB mount |
PCB-mounted. Small, rectangular with a metal top and plastic bottom. There are six legs.
The metal top has a logo stamped on the side. Some variants have ミツミ ("Mitsumi") within a circle, others a stylized M.
The switch casing breaks easily if opened, or sometimes if a keycap is removed uncarefully.
The slider is reminiscent of Alps SKCL/SKCM series switches, but has a square hole for Mitsumi's keycaps. The slider can also have a cross-shaped peg (Cherry MX mount) for Cherry MX-compatible keycaps.
At least one variety is intended to be clicky.
