Title: Custom switches help
Post by: Encabulator on Tue, 18 April 2017, 09:32:16

I'm looking to replace a couple of switches I use on my keyboard I use for rhythm games (Z,X,D,F,J,K). I want a shorter actuation distance but with a slightly heavier switch. So currently, Im thinking something along the lines of a gateron black in terms of weight and smoothness with the actuation point of a cherry mx silver. Where should I start?

Get the silver and switch the spring with a gateron black and lube the silver (if needed)? You won't get that shorter actuation anywhere else
