AW: AW: Matrix board!

So there are better types available than the ones I've tested.
I have to admit I was so shocked by this experience that I didn't test any
other types of 2.5 mm jacks.
And it was only an option for me if it would have been substantially cheaper
than the matrix. You need
an awful lot of these for a 20 x 20 patch field.
