Overview
“Terminalska tipka Serije TY” (Series TY terminal keyswitch) is a mechanical switch with a fairly typical 1980s profile. The switch contacts and overall design are based on SMK JM-0400 Series. Series TY originated at IEVT and continued by Tipro until the latter organisation discontinued them in favour of Cherry MX.
TY switches are branded “IEVT” on the top.
Series TY switches accept Series Y keycaps.
