okay okay.
So the actuation is cause by the buckling, which changes the angle of the bottom part of the spring, closing the circuit?
That seems... unreliable. I feel like buckling a spring just isn't that consistent, and there's too many variables involved. Wouldn't the actuation depth as well as the force required change per key switch? And if it does, is it enough to throw somebody off?
I can see why this is one of the earlier designs, but I'm finding it difficult to believe that it's still viable. I feel like the other methods would be more reliable.
Now, obviously, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I haven't tried it, I have no frame of reference, this is just based on the concept of the switch. It feels crude and unrefined.
