Mitsumi models

Types/series
Mitsumi type and series names are not yet understood. “K” probably denotes “keyboard”. A final “M” seems to indicate momentary (with mechanical types), suggesting KAA and KCA for the alternate action equivalents, something yet to be confirmed or refuted. A final “T” seems to indicate tactile (again with mechanical types). The middle letter is not distinct, as KCD (membrane over PCB) clashes with KCT (mechanical). The final letter appears not to be universally schematic with the non-mechanical types.
KSD and KCD do suggest a related designation.
