While the name may not be as well known as Gateron or Kailh, Tecsee recently has produced quite a number of popular custom switches for various vendors including Dangkeebs, Bolsa Supply, and Divinikey. Optical switches are gaining popularityin both gaming keyboards from big brands, as well as budget keyboards from smaller brands.

While basic Huano switches can be found in prebuilts like the Royal Kludge line, more premium and colorful switches like the HolyTom, Diced Fruit and Strawberry Jelly v2 are also available. Huano also currently manufacture switches for many other alternative brands such as Feker, Akko, MEOW CLAW , CANDY and RUIDA.

Where to buy

Through-hole-compatible housings tend to have a series of small holes on the bottom housing, and a small cutout in the top housing for the LED bulb. These switches will be incompatible with SMD lights that sit on top of the PCB. North vs South Facing + Long Stems If you wish to modify the sound and feel of your switches, two modifications are the Bearing Mod and the Trampoline Mod. If you need to be considerate about loud noises while working or living with others, then Silent Switches may be the right choice for you.

So what makes a tactile bump? In subjective terms there is how big or strong the bump feels, or maybe how sharp, and sometimes described in shapes like D or P. Some switches are built better than others and will last longer. We’ll go into more detail about this in a bit. Knowing that Tsai and Li have some form of prior business connection, and not taking kindly to Li’s competition, Gateron knowingly sells top housings to Tealios V2 pieces to Tsai. SMD switches tend to have a large cutout in the bottom, and a transparent top housing which may or may not have a slot cutout as well. With the Sky tactile switch, Outemu started gaining ground, but stem wobble and inherent scratchiness were flaws too great to overlook.On a linear switch, the peak force could also be considered the bottom-out force, so linear peak-force is often erroneous, unnecessary data. There is typically no “peak” to the force curve of a linear switch, though some multi-stage springs have a stiffness that may resemble a sort of light tactility. Noticeable stem wobble will likely be a distracting nuisance whilst typing, and can make what would have been a good switch feel ultimately unusable in comparison to the competition. Whatever your need may be, the easiest way to remove a leaf is to grasp the pins from beneath the switch with tweezers, and push the leaf up and out of the housing. Each pin will be attached to a separate part of the leaf, with 2 parts in total.

Today, brands likeAce Pad,Wooting’s LekkerandSteelseries’ Omnipointhave adopted Hall Effect technology into their own keyswitches, even allowing you to adjust the point of actuation.

For gamers and typists who demand high speed for more commands and keystrokes per minute, speed switches are designed to make your keypress up to twice as fast as a normal mechanical switch. Overall, I highly recommend these to anyone looking for a consistently smooth switch. Top stuff from Outemu here. I’m impressed. Stem Scratchiness – Sure, a switch can feel scratchy, but it can sound scratchy too. When a judging the sound of your switches, the sound of a scratchy stem may make your switch seem worse than it really is. You may be able to to hear the sound of plastic rubbing on plastic even if a switch feels smooth. YOK Pandas tend to be more common and more available in Western markets, and come in many colors. The Mint, Trash, Red, and Blue Yok Pandas are all linear switches with different color housings. The Purple Trash Panda adds a Tactile Stem to the mix.

Bump length refers to literally how long or how much of the travel is made up of bump. This is usually between 1mm and 3mm. This will also make the switch feel more or less noticeably tactile. The length and slope of the bump will also help determine just how sharp the switch feels. If you wish to remove your switches from your keyboard for modication or replacement, the method you use will depend on the type of keyboard you have: soldered or hotswap. Desoldering

Satanarchist (u/parallelojam): You’re the one who got me into all this madness, so you’re more than guilty in creating this insanity. Additionally, unlike the MX Clear, these do not have any pre-travel meaning the tactile bump is right at the top of the keypress. I usually tend to prefer these and that is the case here.
