MX1A-E1NW
by CHERRY
For mechanical keyboard layouts, CHERRY's MX1A-E1NW supplies an MX-family key switch with a through-hole PCB interface. Its electrical symbol has two pins, while the imported footprint has five pads, a distinction worth preserving when moving from switch connections to physical board placement. The free KiCad download includes the symbol and the part-specific footprint SW-TH_MX1A-E1NW; this record does not include a 3D model. Evidence supporting the conversion comes from use by 1 ProtoFlow engineer in real designs. Open the switch directly in ProtoFlow to inspect its schematic contacts and the complete footprint before placing it in a keyboard layout.
