LED holes in wrong location for Gateron switches

Open duckythescientist opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

I have Gateron Blues. The LED holes in the footprint are too close to the center of the switch. For my switches, the LED holes are inline with the holes for the diode (about 5mm from the center of the switch as with the *-DIODE footprint).

I ended up drilling extra holes in my switches. Other than that, everything fit nicely. :smile:

I used the footprint, and its kinda bunk. The LED's don't fit the footprint with the switch. also, its VERY loose fitting with Gateron switches, and doesnt have guide holes for them. (not really a problem, but a heads up :P)

I also encountered the same LED spacing issue with Cherry MX switches. In my experience, the Cherry MX switches felt fine.

I've created a pull request to fix this issue, please check my changes if you can and let me know if they work for you guys. I'll also be printing a PCB in the coming month to verify my changes :)
