So I guess is deactivates when it has less than 2mm travel, not when it reaches reset point. Okay, thanks
It's designed such that it's impossible to press past the (click) without actuating the switch.Yes, I know about that. But I wanted to know if you let the key only slightly return after hearing the click/overcoming the tactile bump (only slightly so that it doesn't reset yet) will the switch be still activated in such position or not. This is quite important for FPS gaming because if it doesn't stay activated, then I'd rather choose MX Clears or Browns.
Unless you're trying to do that on purpose, it simply will not going to happen on its own.
MX blue was designed to have hysteresis; they don't reset at the same point at which they actuate. This tends to be slightly unfavourable to gamers.It's designed such that it's impossible to press past the (click) without actuating the switch.Yes, I know about that.

Okay, so I've bought a Cherry MX Tester and this is how it goes with Blues: If you press lightly, the first millimeter (1) of key travel is effortless but then you suddenly encounter a bump and need to apply a bit more force. So when you apply this force, you overcome a bump instantly and hear a click (2). Now, while pressed, if you reduce the force again, you return to the point where you originally encountered a tactile bump but the key is not actually reset yet (3) - it has to return to its full height by reducing force even more (4). But my tester doesn't have LED indicators so I'd like to know if you're at step number (3), is the key still activated (like holding down a mouse button) or does it register only once and then act as not pressed at all? I know it's a weird question, but I need to know how I can use my keys when gaming and if the key is actually still pressed-down at step (3), I can use that to circumvent hysteresis by reducing the force a bit instantly after a click so that I can press it again faster after while still holding the button for in-game action.
