New Cherry MX Switch .gif!
« on: Fri, 19 September 2014, 21:21:58 »
I got tired of seeing my shoddy animation that has been plastered all over the web so I decided to make a new one. This one is much bigger and more detailed and a lot more accurate in dimensions. The first animation I made was basically a complete guess, going off a photo reference I had. This time I had an actual switch to look at.

If there is the demand for it I will make all the switches.  ;)

Fantastic!
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I think its some kind of compression artifact with the gif. The original video file is definitely not like that.

Ah.. as long as it's not ghosts.

I've recently acquired a fear of ghosts,    having realized that despite knowing what a rational ghost would do with his abilities,   What happens when I come up against the ghost of an irrational person is unpredictable and therefore frightening.

you should only see one leg.

I did that just so people would see how it works. So they could see ALL the connections of the switch. if I only showed one lead then it might confuse some people.

Hmm

Maybe you can do a Smaller offset,  and use different color legs, 1 slightly longer....
