'''SMK Cherry MX mount''' comprises the [[Cherry MX mount]] members of [[SMK second generation]]. The clicky switch is frequently confused with the [[Futaba clicky switch]], although they have very little in common.

The switches are branded "SMK" on the bottom. The shell is both plate and PCB mount, with fixing pins present. A diode symbol is always present in the mould, but typically the diode leg holes are absent. Diodes have yet to be seen, but the diode position has been used for jumpers.<ref name="Laser_2269" />

SMK Cherry MX mount switches are compatible with Cherry MX plates. They are not compatible with Cherry MX/Alps hybrid plates as the plate retention clips are on the side of the switch rather than the top and bottom as is usual for Cherry MX mount switches.
