Using my RasPi 3 to basically stream my movie collection from phone to screen/beamer/stuff via UPnP. Can use Wifi-tethering to control Pi from Phone via Yatse, but that means no regular Internet.
So t'm thinking about modding my Pi Case with some MX Blues to control Kodi if there are problems with Wifi or I'm on the road and need to access new Networks.
I did find this thread concerning the programming/keymapping:

>My Question:
Do Cherry Switches require a certain Voltage/have internal Resistors?
They should just connect two contacts, but theory/practice...
Also: where to buy? Not looking forward to paying 20$ Shipping (Germanfag here) from some US sites, but also not looking forward to getting some chinese fake shit that will be destroyed after 5 keypresses. And yes, i did already check /mkg/.

Cherry switches don't have internal resistors. The maximum voltage and current allowed are 10mA @ 12V. Hit up ebay for switches pulled from old keyboards if you want genuine ones. Does this work for you?
