Mechanical Characteristics
Keymodule
Cherry key modules are mechanical
input elements with a single-gap
make contact element. Low assembly
height, pleasant feel and excellent
contact reliability thanks to GoldCrosspoint contact technology allow
flexible designing of low-cost keypads
and keyboards. Depending on the
key cap, different lead spacings are
also possible.
Very short bounce times, very
pleasant feel and exceptionally high
reliability and durability pave the way
for a wide range of applications.

Keymodule ML
Keycaps and mechanics
Description
The Cherry ML key module is a
mechanical switching element using
single-gap make contact element in
Gold-Crosspoint contact technology.
Its pleasant feel makes the module
particularly suitable for low-cost
construction of keyboards and
keypads with great diversity and very
low height. A multitude of different
cap shapes allows flexible designs.
Very short bounce time, reliable
stroke, pleasant feel and enormous
cost-savings pave the way for a wide
range of applications.
