The concept has a lot of challenges: the space in a switch is limited, the current of USB 2.0 (500 mA) or 3.0 (900 mA) is limited, USB 3.1 over type-c connector can handle up to 5A (100W/20V) Also, applying the force graph is one part of the problem. You also need a way to know where you are on tha...

Imagine a switch that could be configured on the fly. One where you could change the weight, tactile feel, and activation point, all in software/firmware without ever having to open the keyboard or the switch. Imagine a switch with a small neodymium magnet in the slider and an electromagnet in the b...

I don't like bezels, on anything, ever. That's why.

The closest I've come is the Zowie FK2 but that's still a long way off. Ideally my mouse would be mass-less and friction-less. Dpi at least up to 2900 (unless windows gains sub-pixel pointer precision, the sky's the limit on DPI ) It would have a real middle button, separate from the scroll wheel. T...

Also, don't buy the line that any mech is better than a membrane board that a lot of enthusiasts like to go by. I love my mech but I would use an $5 dell keyboard over the most amazing mechanical board in every other respect if it had either MX browns or any linear switch.

Switch type: do you want linear, tactile, or clicky switches? If you are accustomed to conventional membrane keyboards and want to keep something similar to that feel, then you'll want a board with tactile switches (MX brown, for instance). Switch selection is hugely subjective and I'd recommend to...

MY hierarchy of tactile switches:
Matias Quiet Click > Zealios > MODs > MX Clear > Kaihua coppers > > > > Browns

Haven't felt Topres yet.

I doubt they exist but would it be possible to make them? Zealios are Gaterons, and I'm pretty sure the housing is the same, at least the upper half looks like is. Now you can buy SMD LED compatible Gaterons here. I'm wondering if these housing tops are the same as Zealios/standard Gaterons. And if ...

Is the thickness listed the amount of travel reduction or something else. For example a lot of the cherry o-rings for sale list either .2mm or .4mm of reduction. If that's the case these offer a lot of reduction.

I'm more interested in travel reduction than cushioning. So I want the thickest hardest O-ring on the market. What should I get?

Poppieness. One where the mechanical action matches the electronic action. A keyboard switch is not a pressure sensitive gamepad button, it's 100% digital: on or off. Therefore the best switch is either up or down and nothing inbetween. One where it doesn't move at all until you apply the necessary ...
