New Cherry MX variable weight software controlled

Uhm yeah. :?

My personal bet is Cherry is putting a tiny gnome in each switch pulling levers when messaged by the software.

Ooh, micro-gnomes!
Just keep a brush handy, I heard those switches attract a lot of fairy dust.

They should spend the money on tooling and design of a better case instead of gimmicks ..
Switches that need special software running on the computer to function correctly ?
No thanks, I'll pass .
