Honestly just could be me but the dual-stage spring sometimes makes the keypress feel ever so slightly tactile-y. Makes it fun!
Progressive and dual stage springs are usually a lie.
Based on the description, are these dual-stage springs like those SPRiT produces (as in, multi-stage, the weight/feeling should change during the keypress)? Or are these double/symmetric springs? The terms are used interchangeably by many people but there is a difference. I was only aware Tecsee produces double springs…
Tecsee's quotation did indicate that they are double-springs, so I will change that accordingly. I wasn't aware that there was a difference between dual vs double.
Based on that, these Honeydews will make use of double-springs but they do have an element of dual-stage in them (i.e. weight/feeling changes during the keypress).
I hope that helps?
I think their confusion here is less about ‘dual’ vs ‘double’ and more about using the word ‘
stage’.
These are SPRiT’s multistage springs:
For these, one half is different from the other, so the downstroke should (in theory) feel different about halfway through, or have 2 different ‘stages’. If both halves are the same, there are not 2 different ‘stages’, the spring is just extended for a
return that’s much quicker/bouncier than the
downstroke (two different feels).
Not your fault, though! Seems nearly every vendor sells these springs as ‘2 stage’ springs, with ‘3 stage’ as the term for the springs with 3 segments, even though all segments of the spring are the same. KineticLabs calls these Symmetric Long Springs (Tecsee manufactured), which is cool because it tells you both halves are the same. Looks like Tecsee and Bolsa call them Double Springs which I think is best because it’s easy to remember and suggests it’s just the same spring doubled.
TL;DR I think you should call them ‘dual-stage springs’ if one half is different from the other, or just ‘double springs’ if both halves are the same (no stage).
But someone please correct me if I’m wrong.
