The CHERRY MX 'black' linear key switch, perfect for a hot-swap mechanical keyboard or solder in place, a surface mount LED will not shine through this switch.
On it's base this has 2 solder pins and a large plastic locator pin, but it does not have the 2 smaller fixing pins found on some CHERRY switches, and does not include a diode or LED.
