2. PROGRESS/ RESULTS

2019-2021

-Builtbynim linear switch was designed using client commission data and personal switch sound preferences to produce a unique sound profile and a snappy feel.

12/08/2021

-Initial prototyping done with JWK and TECSEE,
-TECSEE manufacturing was chosen for v2 prototypes.

01/09/2021- (testing phase)

-Dual stage springs tested for spring sound stock vs lubed (105g0)
disclaimer* due to the lack of research and current developments in dual stage springs, there are some spring sound in stock form*

Results: spring sound little to non-existent with 105g0 application in bag lube form.

-Dual stage spring characteristics tested on switch housing lubed with thick 205g0

Results: due to the snappiness and higher rebounding properties of the dual stage spring, switches retained their snappy and forceful upstroke even after a thick 205g0 application. 205g0 application increased the "thockky" low pitch sound of the switch while remaining snappy. (205g0 recommended for modification).

06/09/2021- (testing phase)

-BBN (builtbynim) switches v2 tested against popular switches
BBN vs lavenders, milky yellows, opblack, marshmallows, banana splits (all switches used were lubed by 205g0 on housing (top+bottom only), 105g0 on springs and tested on actylic switch tester)

Results:
smoothness/scratchiness: similar to lavenders and banana splits, smoother than milky yellows, marshmallows and opblacks
sound profile: Unique sound profile, deeper tone than lavenders, opblacks, milky yellows, marshmallows, and banana splits on acrylic tester

Any sound tests?
Title: Re: [IC] BUILTBYNIM LINEAR SWITCH
Post by: ClackCulture on Mon, 04 October 2021, 02:19:20: hey yes! it does have a specific top out and a bottom out sound that i went for specifically!, i have some sound tests done by ozzii. (iv put the link in the IC) more sound tests will come in the next couple of days! stay in touch :)

hey thank you so much for your comment! i will upload those data to the IC including the spring force graphs in the upcoming days before we go to GB!!
im going to be as transparent and community first as possible in this run!!

Post by: autocast on Mon, 04 October 2021, 19:41:37: Interesting idea :)

Looks like a Feijoa fruit tree in the first pic: Feijoa would be a much better name for the switch imo ™®© ;D

It looks like the travel distance will be very short.

it will have a short travel distance.
However, it is very similar to NK creams in that aspect, because of the dual stage spring giving somewhat of a higher resistance in the mid stage of the press, the shorter travel distance feels sharp and comfortable to type for long time periods.

i really like that idea as well! maybe if a large number of people will prefer a true name i might actually host a naming competition!

Post by: Volny on Wed, 06 October 2021, 07:35:52: I'm pretty sceptical that you can achieve a "unique...feel" with a linear switch, just by tweaking the housing plastics and slightly reducing the travel distance. Linear is linear. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though.

Post by: Neptune Keys on Wed, 06 October 2021, 11:53:33: So how different are we talking?

i dont think its gonna be a complete different experience but what im trying for is a difference in sound profile and the stem retuen feel!, just a bit different from all the mainstream offerings from jwk and cherry ;)

at the end of the day it is still a linear, but what im hoping to achieve is a difference in sound profile and a difference in stem return feel! i will upload the spring compression data soon!!

Post by: stidal on Thu, 07 October 2021, 09:07:48: seems pretty interesting! love long pole linears, definitely interested in these stems :]

Post by: ReverbSlush on Mon, 25 October 2021, 06:57:36: I like the name Feijoa.... I bet they'll just be called "nims" as slang on streams and whatnot. Looking forward to trying them out!
Title: Re: [IC] BUILTBYNIM LINEAR SWITCH *[IC] form attached*
Post by: ClackCulture on Mon, 25 October 2021, 18:51:51: thank you so much bro! the only reason iv not given them a general name is becasue im going to be doing my linear mostlikely for one run and then im going to be doing a researched tactile run, bbn linear and bbn tactile!
