Probably good to add those 1.25u, 1.5u etc sizes with silkscreens. Can be a simple copy-paste between standard KiCAD library MX switches footprints.

Also 3d model perhaps?

Hi,

First of all, thank you for the awesome library!

I was wondering if you would consider adding a combined choc & mx style socket, like in use by the pinky3/pinky4 keyboards (https://github.com/tamanishi/Pinky4)

Thanks :)

I want to add it to my project but i can't find a .lib file for the schematic

Hello,
thank you for sharing the footprints. Is it possible to add LED holes?

Hi @daprice , thanks for that library, looks great!

I was thinking about reversible footprint you have here and the fact that on the flipped side - you need to rotate switches front to back. I would like to propose alternative configuration, so instead:

We could try with:

I already forked and created one of the alternative views here: https://github.com/maciejmatczak/keyswitches.pretty. Do you think it would work fine? I need to check how well routable this footprint is as well. Overall not much work on my side, just carefully rotating shapes 180*.

If you would like to pull it back upstream - I would be happy to open a PR, but I am guessing the best idea would be to prepare an alt view for every reversible view...

What is the use of the smallest hole in the SW_PG1350 footprint?

It would be great to add more sizes/variations of stabilizer bars since from my experience they are pretty undocumented and it's hard to figure out what the right holes should be

Hi there!
Would it be possible to add support for people working with Eagle CAD software? I find it hard to design on KiCAD and constantly export models to Fusion 360 (it's my preferred 3d modeling CAD). I'd really appreciate it if there's a chance anyone can help with this!

P.S: I did some research only but couldn't find a way to convert KiCAD libraries to Eagle :/

Thanks all!
