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 because of its secondary internal actuator, which makes it less likely to "double-tap."
Of course you're going to need some way to hook up your new Cherry MX Switch, and we have you covered. With the SparkFun Cherry MX Switch Breakout, we have made the switches more easily adaptable to breadboard or perfboard-based projects. The Cherry MX Switch Breakout is a perfect prototyping tool for projects ranging from a single-key user input to fully-custom, 101-key keyboards.
Shapeoko Deluxe Kit
TOL-13882A new revision to our Shapeoko and Stepoko product line? Yes, indeed! The new revision of the Stepoko board updates the firmware to the latest version (0.9j). We've also added a piece of thermal gap filler to help electrically insulate the board from your chassis and prevent ESD problems. Finally, we added three cable carriers to the Deluxe kit to help get your cabling under control.
The firmware and thermal gap filler changes have been represented on the Shapeoko Deluxe Kit, as well as the SparkFun Stepoko Motion Control Add-On Kit, and finally the SparkFun Stepoko.
Alright, ladies and gentlemen, that's it for this week. Make sure to check back with us next Friday for some _R_eally _F_un new products! See you then!
