Hi,
I've been searching for the right switches for a while now. And I have a box full of keyboards I don't like to prove it.
I found a keyboard I like but it's got the wrong switches on it.
I got a mathew yg108, that seems alright, though I have firmware trouble with it so far.
The keyboard came with switches as follows
Brown switch:Operating force:45g Pressure Force:55g
Operating Travel: 2.0mm Tactile Travel:1.2mm Total Travel:3.40±4.00mm
The tactile feels like almost nothing, almost like linear switches and while it's great for gaming, I like having way more resistance than that.
I know a keyboard that has the switches I like. It was a victsing pc315a
No idea what switches this uses but they have a lot more resistance at the activation point
Anyway, I tried my luck buying switches that looks like they might be like that
I got a set of outemu branded "orange" switches
here are the specs
I received them and installed one of them
original switch
new switch
new switch behind
switch hole
And after all this was said and done... I cannot tell the new switch apart from the other ones ! Feels exactly the same ?
Do I just need a stronger spring value ? I had a 45 or 55 gram switch Now it's almost 60 gram switch
How high to these values go ?
What is the next tactile standard switch force I can search for after 60g ?
What does the victsing keyboard use ?
Zeal Clickies are the most tactile switch period, but they are expensive and each switch needs to be adjusted to be made tactile rather than clicky
Boba U4T is the favorite child for tactile switches right now, maybe look into them
Novelkeys Blueberry is the switch I'd most describe as a crunchy tactile in a good way
Ajazz Kiwis are currently my favorite tactile, but I don't think they make them anymore :(
