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. Each Wing has two Kailh sockets, which means you can plug in any MX-compatible switches instead of soldering them in. You may need a little glue to keep the switches in place: hot glue or a dot of epoxy worked fine for us. Beneath each switch is a reverse-mount NeoPixel pointing up through the spot where many switches would have an LED to shine though. The two pixels are chained together so you can control them as one 2-pixel NeoPixel strand. Adafruit wired the switches up very simply, so you can use with any Feather. There's jumper pads you can cut to re-wire the switches and LED strand. - **Switch A** - Connects to the Feather pin to the left of SCL, on most Feathers this is pin D5 - **Switch B** - Connects to the Feather pin two pins to the left of SCL, on most Feathers this is pin D6 - **NeoPixel Input** - Connects to the Feather pin three pins to the left of SCL, on most Feathers this is pin D9 - **Bonus [STEMMA QT connector](https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-adafruit-stemma-qt/what-is-stemma-qt)** allows you to make solderless connections between your Wing and a wide range of other sensors and accessories using a [**compatible cable**](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=stemma+cable). [QT Cable is not included, but Adafruit have a variety in the shop](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=stemma+qt+cable). **Please note,** **each order comes with one assembled FeatherWing PCB and a two sticks of break-off header.** Soldering is required to attach the header and connect to a Feather. Two mechanical switches and key caps **are not included**! Use any MX-compatible switch: Kailh, Gateron, etc all work. **Technical Details** - Product Dimensions: 50.0mm x 23.2mm x 5.2mm / 2.0" x 0.9" x 0.2" ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/4/9/4979-01.jpg)
