Fundamental Switch Types
« on: Sun, 04 February 2018, 03:33:02 »
There are clicky switches whose actuation you hear, there are tactile switches whose actuation you feel, and there are linear switches whose actuation you don't sense.

Why aren't there any switches where you taste the actuation point? I'd also like a switch where I can smell the actuation: tasty switches and smelly switches.

Introducing Kailh Dark Browns: 45g smelly switch.

Ok, it's bedtime....
Maybe they're waiting for gasmasks and latex to get sexy again.

The world has become a weird place.

Because if actuation causes the keyboard to smell, that is an indication that  you have a short-circuit.

Activation latency would be high, deactivation latency even higher.

I forget the book - I think the author was John Scalzi, where the aliens would communicate through smells.
