KBK update for Thursday, 31st December

After almost exactly two years, the Cherry M5, M6 and M73/M74 design page has finally been updated, to reflect current knowledge and correct errors in the text, the HTML and the illustrations. There is now a diagram showing the different plunger forms, including the SPDT plunger form thanks to UncleFan who supplied me with such a switch.

Photos provided by Camacazzi in Australia reveal that RS 338-765 (in his or her case, Style A M61-0120) has the exact same defacing of the Cherry branding as the Style B′ switches that I obtained from facetsesame at Deskthority in 2014. Clearly then, RS was attempting to hide the identity of the original manufacturer. Since this is the only Cherry type they knew about, mine are likely to also be M61-0120, although the factory remains a mystery. (RS have 338-765 listed as M73-0120, but they were sourcing their parts from the US previously, judging by the example discovered.)
