What is your End Game switch?
« on: Sun, 02 June 2019, 03:47:43 »
I've searched the forums for this topic but couldn't find it.

What is your favourite switch?

At the moment, they are Kailh Box Whites, but I am sure that will change once I play with more.

Hall effect switches that have ANALOG,  + recalibration function as the magnetism changes overtime.

I would like to see optical do this as well, but leds are less stable than magnets unless they use an expensive drive system..


Other than that, MX-Blue is already mechanically perfect.

Could never say for certain. From the wisdom of Yoda: "Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future."

It would very likely be based on a contactless sense means (Hall Effect etc). It generally seems like contactless sensing permits maximum flexibility in switch designs, for the most interesting and robust mechanisms.

Currently: The buckling springs in my (late) Unicomp are my favorite switch to date. So possibly the (reputedly superior) buckling springs of a Model F or a beamspring might quality as my "endgame".

A super-smooth completely silent Cherry MX Clear with variable weighting.

I have wondered for some time if that could be realised as a modified Topre dome with helper spring. Dome for tactility. Helper spring with steep force curve for achieving cushioning after actuation.

Capacitive buckling spring, and modded box jade with a slightly stiffer spring.

Right now... my favorite MX is 62g Vin blacks, lubed with 3204 in Zeal housings.
