Can you add any more details on this new PME housing? Who's the manu for this switch?

It is Polycarbonate Blend that is still a proprietary material compound mixture.

The manufacturer and i cant really disclose at this current time. May do in the future.

I am not that into switches and have like minimum knowledge about switches but can anyone tell me how a takticle stem and linear can be in the same switch?

caronte0 · « **Reply #7 on:** Sun, 17 January 2021, 04:50:29 »

Is there any force curve to see how it compares to other tactile switches?, how is the bump more like rounded or more snappy?

RIFT · « **Reply #8 on:** Sun, 17 January 2021, 05:14:46 »

More information will be coming soon with force curves of springs etc.

I can tell you that the bump is a nice rounded bump up top that continues for most of the down stroke.

PhantomTaco · « **Reply #9 on:** Sun, 17 January 2021, 06:07:17 »

Can you provide a datasheet or the full chemical name of PME? Curious about the material as I haven't heard of it before.

so like a U4T stem?

other questions:

does it bottom out on the rails or on the stem pole?
actuation and total travel distances?
your description says a linear force curve spring but the image says progressive, which is it?

Very interested in what PME is all about and how it's different from Polycarbonate, Nylon, and POM when it comes to housing materials. Also interested in the sound profile as well.

ChromePcok · « **Reply #12 on:** Sun, 17 January 2021, 09:30:56 »

Tecsee?

when they say linear i believe theyre talking about the spring, the switch/stem is tactile. heres a graph from sprit that shows the different types of springs (that he sells at least) https://www.spritdesigns.com/mx?pgid=jlv17iwk-d78fac7d-26d1-479d-9b28-c6b225b3b5b4

Sadly i cannot offer a datasheet on the chemical compounds. I can however tell you its a Polycarbonate Blend that is a proprietary compound mixture.

- Bottom out is on the stem
- Am getting graphs for this as soon as possible and will update
- Totally missed this, its a linear curve spring, will change image

How accurate are the renders in terms of the stem? That looks like a pretty wildly different shape from anything I've seen, is that just due to rendering capabilities or is this how they'll actually be shaped?

That render may be slightly exaggerated and does not reflect the final product, i will have stem images soon

I guess they've done a deskmat group buy so that's at least something. Seems to have just absorbed any and all keysets though :/ Slight concern there

Mechs & Co is a newer vendor but Patrick, Mike, Chris, and the rest of the team are nothing but professionals.

Mike, Chris and Patrick are some of the most professional people out there. There are currently running GMK Civ and Kam 80s after dark. Two very successful sets so far
