Alternative to Omron micro switches

Kailh Gm 8.0 Muis Micro-schakelaar on AliExpress

on Amazon (USA)

I read about this on discord, impressive durable and less deviation. 8 millions cycles on them.

Maybe someone is interested, maybe not. But I am using these from now on....

Curses! Every time I follow one of your links I end up in Dutch! I'm really going to have to learn it

Definitley looks worth checking  out though.

Right ordered some, and it was nothing to do with the fact that I have not the faintest where my omron switches are. They do genuinely look interesting.

I guess I'm not surprised! Kailh switches are very common in the mechanical keyboard world too.

Hahahaha, sorry about that! and it had no cursing in it, so its not really Dutch  

And made a mistake on durability in the first post, its not 8 million clicks, its 80 million clicks, so.. its a little more durable

Now look what you made me do @Buurman

Needed some Moron switches - thought I give these a try

And just about every high end mouse out there...

They don't have the same screw hole sizes do they? My voron kit also came with switches that has smaller holes, which I drilled but I am not sure if that negatively effects the switch.

 I'd prefer brilliant, or at least average, switches over moron switches.

None of these links worked for me...?   But after searching, seeing a number of data sheets, but no temperature rating?

That is a good point. I found this site which has a good datasheet that states:

      Operating Temperature Range 使用温度范围： -10°C～+70°C

The weather we're having these days that will just suffice

How do you turn off spell check? type in Omron and it changes to Moron. Now I have to go and proof read every post, otherwise my OCD will make me build another Moron, I mean Voron
