Title: mechancial keyboard switch modding thread
Post by: Firefly303 on Sat, 06 July 2013, 02:24:19

I would love if anyone could help me out in finding this thread. it was about modding a brown/blue switch by wrapping it with a wire coil. Making it have a stiffer feel. I cant seem to find it anywhere.

or you could get other harder/stiffer springs like korean springs or those from black, green, white, light/dark grey, clear switches.

@gnubag, what spring do you suggest to make a brown switch feel like a clear or black?

you can't really make browns feel like clears but if you put harder springs in them they get close to blacks.
