That always seems to be the problem with ordering screws, isn't it? The situation is almost always: you only need 1, but you end up buying at least 20 of the same screw; or over 100 in an assorted set of different screws.

I'm surprised a single "least common denominator" footprint for the "multiple slightly different but otherwise similiarly sized" variety of switches. Previously my OCD would've insisted to make a unique footprint for each switch.
