The correct orientation for the keyway slot in a 3PDT is...

[Erik S]

I have strong feelings about this.

 

[Robert]

Up. Always up. No exceptions.

And my logic for this is flawed so I'll spare you.

I evil chuckle to myself every time I see a retail pedal with the switch oriented differently..... "Imbeciles!"

I started off as a south-notchian, but I was converted to north-notchian a few years back and realized the errors of the south-notchian ways.

Down! It's an exhaust port, isn't it?

Meanwhile in a troubleshooting thread somewhere, the keyway is on the right

Up.

First the banana-mayo, and now this.

It's a good thing your PCBs are so nice.

If you are installing your footswitches upside down I demand that you stop using them effective immediately.

If this turns into the white washer thread, I'm blocking you too @Erik S

That thread is really weird.

It's weird. It doesn't show up for me anymore? Funny how that happens

I'm washer-agnostic.

This on the other hand is serious business.

 

[szukalski]

This is all one big festering neon distraction.

 

[PedalBuilder]

None of the above. Everybody is wrong. Just use an momentary SPST and relay bypass and orient the keyway whichever direction the switch body fits best.

This is why we can't have nice things...

I told myself nobody voted down right?.....then i saw the casted votes...

 

[JTEX]

Are we talking toggles or footswitches here?

 

[KR Sound]

It depends on my mood that day, because I have internal reasoning for both. But usually up.
