Editing Cherry MX Ultra Low Profile (section)

==Description==
The switch has a butterfly-type scissor mechanism made of stainless steel in an undercarriage of metal and plastic.
The height is 3.5 mm, not including thicknesses of keycap and PCB.

Unlike most mechanical switches and other scissor switches, each switch is an individual module which is supposed to be surface-mount soldered onto a PCB.

Return force is provided by ''pulling'' a coiled spring laterally between the scissor-legs.
The contact mechanism uses terminals with a [[gold crosspoint]].

Unlike the competing [[Omron B3KL series]], there is no Fresnel lens for dispersing [[backlighting|backlight]] from a surface-mounted LED. The spring is in the middle of the switch, allowing backlighting to be only above and/or below it.
