Title: New Cherry MX Switch .gif!
Post by: Lethal Squirrel on Fri, 19 September 2014, 21:21:58
I got tired of seeing my shoddy animation that has been plastered all over the web so I decided to make a new one. This one is much bigger and more detailed and a lot more accurate in dimensions. The first animation I made was basically a complete guess, going off a photo reference I had. This time I had an actual switch to look at.

If there is the demand for it I will make all the switches.  ;)

I think its some kind of compression artifact with the gif. The original video file is definitely not like that.

Ah.. as long as it's not ghosts. (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/scary-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862517)

I've recently acquired a fear of ghosts,    having realized that despite knowing what a rational ghost would do with his abilities,   What happens when I come up against the ghost of an irrational person is unpredictable and therefore frightening.

I did that just so people would see how it works. So they could see ALL the connections of the switch. if I only showed one lead then it might confuse some people.

Hmm

Maybe you can do a Smaller offset,  and use different color legs, 1 slightly longer....
