Cherry MX PCB-mount stabilizer holes (2u, 2.25u, 2.75u, 6.25u) — dimension sheet

Basis: KiCad SW_Cherry_MX_2.00u/2.25u/2.75u/6.25u/ISOEnter_PCB footprints (citing Cherry's MX catalogue)
Catalog version: 2026-10-20

Sizes: see table below
- Keys 2u and wider (Shift, Enter, Backspace, numpad 0, spacebar) carry a wire stabilizer: two housings, one each side of the switch, joined by a wire so the key goes down level when pressed off-centre. PCB-mount (Cherry-style) stabilizers clip or screw into two holes per housing.
- Spacing is the same for 2u, 2.25u and 2.75u keys (housings 23.8 mm apart, ±11.9 mm from the switch) and 100 mm apart for a 6.25u spacebar (±50 mm), positions from the KiCad Cherry MX footprints. The small Ø3.05 hole is on the switch-pin side, the large Ø4.0 hole opposite (same y-up, keycap-side view as the switch footprint page).
- The files are drill jigs at true size: a ring round every hole (switch and both housings) joined by bars, to print and drill through or to import as the exact hole pattern.
