Kailh Hot Swap Socket Template and PF68 Keyboard test by GH_Leslie

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a functional hot swap system for Kailh Hot Swap sockets.
The Hot swaps are held captive between the "pcb" and base plate so they can actually function as hot swaps, holding themselves in place. Best of all, no pcb to be damaged during swaps either. This can be used to design your own board or as a test before printing my full keyboard or using my full board as your basis for your own.
Socket inserts from bottom of the "pcb" and sit similar to how they do on a normal PCB. Insert that into the base (with the swap on the underside) then insert the top, now insert your switch. Pretty simple.
Print with no support, should be fine.
