For crafting your very own custom keyboard, these Cherry MX mechanical key switches are deeee-luxe! This tester gives you one of each, mounted onto a nice plastic cut-out, so you can quickly try all 4. Clicky? Tactile? Linear? What do those terms really mean...you'll know instantly when you poke each key.
The magnetic switch mainly comprises two parts---the inducting end and trigger. The former has a reed switch enclosed inside and there is a cable connected to it...
Cherry MX Keyswitches are top-of-the-line mechanical keyboard switches. They’re satisfyingly “clicky”, reliable up to tens-of-millions of key presses, and a standard in gaming and programming keyboards across the globe. This ‘blue’ version Cherry MX Switch is favored by most due to its secondary internal actuator making it less likely to “double-tap.” If you are looking for a noticeably audible and high-quality key switch, this is the perfect option for you!
This inline switch is great when you just want a simple on/off toggle switch that’s already enclosed. Inside is a simple rocker switch with solder terminals with crimp strain relief. Attach some wires, solder them in place, and press-fit the enclosure together and you have a clean-looking switch.
The only thing better than a nice mechanical key is, perhaps, FOUR mechanical keys that also can glow any color of the rainbow - and that's what the Adafruit NeoKey 1x4 QT I2C Breakout will let you do! This longgg 3" x 0.8" PCB fits four Cherry MX or compatible switches and make it easy to use with a breadboard/perfboard or with a STEMMA QT (Qwiic) connector for instant I2C connectivity on any platform.
This is a translucent silicon rubber button pad with 4 buttons orignally inspired by the folks at monome.org. Each button has a hole underneath that accepts either a 3mm or 5mm standard LED. The idea is that you can create a button interface of your choice with the ability to display simple colors under each button. Mainly, we wanted to use our tri-color LEDs to create a full RGB color for each button.
This a simple breakout board for the button pads. Each LED and button is brought out to the side connectors. The connectors are soldered to the back side of the PCB. We recommend trimming the connector leads on the button side as short as possible to reduce the deflection of the pad.

This is a translucent silicon rubber button pad with 16 buttons originally inspired by the folks at monome.org. Each button has a hole underneath that accepts either a 3mm or 5mm standard LED. The idea is that you can create a button interface of your choice with the ability to display simple colors under each button. Mainly, we wanted to use our tri-color LEDs to create a full RGB color for each button.
This is a photoelectric switch that is composed of emitter and receptor.The emitter consists of a laser diode,and the laser has the characteristics of high precision, good orientation etc.The receptor consists of a photoelectric element.When receiving the laser pulse, the built-in light conducting.The emitter and receptor can assemble a detector. It can be directly compatible with Arduino to develop related products .Of course,it is also very suitable for photoelectric counting, security, ultra-high vehicle overrun detection etc.
We really dig the retro-futuristic look of this Chunky Power Switch. Reason one, it looks like it belongs on the USCSS Nostromo from Alien. Reason two, it's a great...
Surface mount 3-way switch. These switches are commonly found on handheld devices like MP3 players. This switch allows the user to navigate using up and down selections then select by pressing the plastic piece inwards. Capable of swtiching up to 1.2VA (360mA at 3.3V and 240mA at 5V).
Your friends probably tell you that you are "good with your hands," but now you can also be good with your feet! This foot switch is made of rubbery plastic, is plenty strong to put up with any amount of stomping, and contains a snap switch. You can use the switch as either a "normally open" or "normally closed" type. Attached to the switch is a 2 meter long cable so you can wire it directly to your project.
A couple of months ago we started carrying packs of colorful step switches reminiscent of the 16-step sequencer keys on TR-808 synthesizers. We gave folks...
These hinged momentary step switches are evocative of the 16-step sequencer keys on TR-808 sythesizers. Also sometimes used on A/V equipment, they're...
The only thing better than a nice mechanical key, is two of them, and ones that also can glow any color of the rainbow - and that's what the Adafruit NeoKey FeatherWing will let you do! This Wing plugs into any/all Feather main boards and can fit two Cherry MX or compatible switches to turn your Feather into the lil'est macro keypad.
When we saw the classic "Zener ESP Card" designed keyboard in the awesome CHVRCHES video for the song "How Not To Drown" (ft Robert Smith!) we were smitten. So goth! So esoteric! So we got a small number of these etched-through keycaps with the 5 designs: circle, cross, waves, square and star. You don't have to wear excessive eyeliner to snap these into your mechanical keyboard... but, hey, we'll use any excuse.
This breadboard-compatible module is an alternative to bulky power switches. It uses a small integrated slide switch to control a high-side power MOSFET...
This single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) momentary switch can be used as a general-purpose micro switch or tactile bump sensor for your robot. The switch body dimension is 20.0 x 6.4 x 10.2 mm, and the 15.6mm lever arm has a semicircular bump at the tip that simulates a roller.
