Thanks for the library!

I used it in a PCB design which I sent out for fabrication, and
(if I remember) I will update this issue to report on whether
it worked or not.

From looking at the library, the footprint seems to match the
information published on the Cherry website, so I'm
cautiously optimistic...

I made some minor changes to the schematic symbol:
in particular, adding a >NAME tag so that instances can
be named (S1, S2, etc.) which is nice for a circuit that
will have multiple Cherry MX switches.

How far apart should I put the switches on the board so that it fits perfectly with added keycaps?

Thanks for any help.

Error:

line 7, column 16: This is not an EAGLE file.

EDIT - my error.

I have Gateron Blues. The LED holes in the footprint are too close to the center of the switch. For my switches, the LED holes are inline with the holes for the diode (about 5mm from the center of the switch as with the *-DIODE footprint).

I ended up drilling extra holes in my switches. Other than that, everything fit nicely. 😄
