Check their orientation and footprint against the key layout, especially around larger keys that need stabilizers.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>The PCB also has to fit a larger mechanical stack. Before release, check the following together rather than as independent parts:\u003C/p>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>Switch and, if used, hot-swap socket footprints and orientation\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Stabilizer locations and clearances\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Plate openings and support\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Board thickness and its interaction with the chosen parts\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Case mounting points and internal clearances\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Connector position and access through the case\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\u003Cp>For example, Kailh’s \u003Cstrong>CPG151101S11-16 socket drawing\u003C/strong> and \u003Cstrong>CPG1511F01S06 switch drawing\u003C/strong> are references for those exact parts, not for every socket or switch.

A hot-swap design uses compatible sockets installed on the board, allowing switches to be inserted separately. The choice changes both the footprint and the assembly plan.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>For hot-swap, check socket placement and orientation against the switch drawing, and decide who supplies and installs the sockets. In either design, assess how the plate, case and PCB support the switches. Don’t assume that changing the footprint alone establishes a workable mechanical assembly.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"design-the-matrix-and-choose-the-controller-together\" data-anchor-en=\"design-the-matrix-and-choose-the-controller-together\">Design the matrix and choose the controller together\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>A key matrix connects switches between row and column nets. Firmware scans those nets to identify which positions are active. This can reduce the number of controller I/O lines needed compared with assigning a separate input to every switch, but it also means the schematic and firmware must agree on the mapping.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Choose a controller after counting the I/O needed for the matrix and any other planned functions. Also review the actual interface, firmware support, power and protection requirements for the design. A controller’s presence in another keyboard project does not establish that it supports your pin assignment or firmware configuration.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3 id=\"ghosting-and-diode-direction\" data-anchor-en=\"ghosting-and-diode-direction\">Ghosting and diode direction\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>Without isolation, a combination of pressed switches can create an unintended path through a matrix. The scanner may then register a key that was not pressed; this is \u003Cstrong>ghosting\u003C/strong>. For example, three pressed switches at three corners of a two-row, two-column rectangle can create a path that appears to activate the fourth corner.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>A diode in series with each switch can prevent those matrix ghost paths when its polarity and the scan circuit are designed consistently. Diode direction is not universal: it must match the schematic’s current path and the selected firmware scan convention.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Preventing matrix ghost paths is also not the whole definition of N-key rollover (NKRO). What the keyboard can report depends on the hardware, firmware and host. Treat rollover as a behavior to verify for the finished design, not as a consequence guaranteed by adding diodes.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"worked-example-a-four-key-matrix\" data-anchor-en=\"worked-example-a-four-key-matrix\">Worked example: a four-key matrix\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>The following is a \u003Cstrong>hypothetical mapping\u003C/strong>, not a measured result. Imagine four keys arranged in two physical rows and two columns. The controller scans active-low rows one at a time; columns have pull-ups, and unselected rows are high-impedance.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>In this chosen circuit, each path runs from the column through the switch and diode to the row. The diode \u003Cstrong>anode faces the switch/column side\u003C/strong>, and its \u003Cstrong>cathode faces the row side\u003C/strong>.
