Note 1: This combination mostly works, but the leaf can move up out of its proper position by a fraction of a mm. The switch still works but this could cause inconsistencies in actuation point across a whole keyboard of switches. See Note A.
23
Note 2: This combination can allow the leaf to move up out of position enough to make the switch chatter or fail to actuate. See Note A.
24
Note 3: This combination works because although the switch top doesn't press down on the leaf to keep it in place, the Cherry housing has the leaf wedged in so tight that it doesn't come out on its own without pressing very hard, so this combo should be safe especially if soldered down (see Note A)
25
Note 4: The Outemu tops come in loose and tight versions. The tight versions may be too tight for the stems that come with this base and may bind.
26
Note 5: The Greetech / Razer top is too tight for the stems that come with this base
27
Note 6: Fits if you use flush cutters to nip off the "fangs" on the bottom of the switch top that are to hold the leaf in place on other housings
28
Note 7: Top won't fit on this bottom, for reasons I couldn't figure out, apparently the shape is just too different
29
Note 8: Fits but it's a VERY tight fit, especially on the side where the LED goes. Make sure you get all 4 teeth of the top snapped into place on the bottom housing.

31
Note A: If you can make sure that all of the tactile leaves are fully seated (for example, by pulling on the thinner of the two switch pins with needle-nose pliers), once you solder the switches in place, you shouldn't have to worry any more about the leaf riding up; the solder will hold it in place.
If you have a hot-swap board, on the other hand, you might have problems with this switch combination later down the road, so watch out for that. With hot swap, if the switch top doesn't hold the leaf down securely, there's nothing keeping it securely in its proper position.
You could see inconsistent actuation, switch chatter, or failure to actuate at all late down the road. You can try to avoid this by carefully appling a drop of super glue with a toothpick to the base of the switch where the thinner pin goes into the housing; this might keep the leaf from shifting.

Another solution to this problem involves modifying the pin attached to this leaf, and can be found here: https://imgur.com/a/v9EQrdC
