Title: List of mx-compatible linear "speed" switches
Post by: Learis on Thu, 03 September 2020, 01:21:10

By "speed" switch, I mean that it has less total travel than the typical 4mm. So I'm looking for all linear switches with less travel distance than 4mm.

So far I know of:
Cherry speed silvers (1.2mm actuation, 3.4mm total)
Gateron ink yellows (?? actuation, 3.4mm total)
Kailh speed silvers (1.1mm actuation, 3.5mm total)

Am I missing any others?

Edit:
Kailh Box (1.8 mm actuation, 3.6mm total)
Kailh Pro (1.7mm actuation, 3.6mm total)
Kailh Regular (2.1mm actuation. 3.8mm total)

If your definition of speed is less than 4mm total travel, we can add Kailh pro burgundy:

Kailh Burgundy – Linear 50g | 1.7mm | 3.6mm (operating force/travel/total travel)

They are pretty nice to type on even stock to be honest.

Indeed, thank you... I think that's the lot of them, unless there's some random obscure ones out there.
