Tipro MX-style refers to an old switch from Tipro. No information on these switches appears to still exist at Tipro, hence the provisional name.
Description[edit | edit source]
Tipro MX-style is a Cherry MX-like switch from Tipro. The only example examined in detail to date is tactile sliding-collar design, like Cherry MX White.
While similar in style to Cherry MX, the upper shell is noticeably shorter, and it just about fits SMK J-M0404 keycaps. This keycap mount fits in with Tipro SMK-style switches.
Illumination has yet to be seen, but some shells do accept LEDs. The base appears to be reversible, with holes put through where needed.
