Title: Got a new calculator, what switches?
Post by: Touch_It on Sun, 17 May 2015, 12:00:44

Bought this for a wallet busting $3.00 at goodwill.  Definitely linear.  The outer spring is responsible for the the switch return.  With the keycap off I have to manually pull up on the slider to get it to return.  The action isn't too smooth, but not gritty. Feels heavier than a mx black but haven't taken any measurements.

Looks like Alps vertical plate spring style.

Sort of like this almost?
