**Light Weight Mitsumi KAM** is a variant of the standard [[switch:mitsumi_kam|KAM]] that uses a lighter weight spring. 
==== Characteristics ====

This switch has a yellow top housing which indicates that the switch uses a lighter weight spring than a standard KAM switch.

This switch is used in conjunction with the similarly colored and weighted [[switch:mitsumi_kam_light_weight_dummy|dummy switch]] on some typewriters in order to stabilize longer keys.((https://youtu.be/BUTu0g9cxP8?feature=shared&t=215 light weight switches are visible under the keycaps of this module))
