Cherry springs

fossala · 05 Nov 2011, 10:06

I like the clears I just got of biniris but the normal springs are too heavy and the brown springs sometimes don't bounce back up. Is there any other spring options?

Black springs
Its called panda.. or so

How much lighter is it and does anyone want to sell me 60 of them?

I am going to give the clear springs a bit longer. I seem to be typing quite well and fluid with them. Just need to see if I can get used to the weight.

The clear springs aren linear afaik. And the blacks should be lighter. I have plenty left u can have for shipping only. But im not sure if i can send them in an envelope.

The stem not bouncing back is due to the leaf inside the switch housing. This happens a lot more on brand new boards because the leaf hasn't been broken in. Pop open the switch and push the leaf back so it doesn't fight with the stem and you won't have that issue. If it's just sticking a little, just use the switch a lot and most of the time it will loosen by itself and it won't be a problem anymore.

I have persevered with just clears and I'm now loving them.

All cylindrical compression springs are linear.

It's called Hooker's Law.

Hah, Hooker's Law is "Cash Only".

only for linear springs.. still ignorant

Not just linear springs!

to not drive this any further
i'm not even sure if cherry clear springs are linear or progressive so i wrote "afaik" to anyone with further knowledge to come in.
BUT not all cylindrical springs are linear (ask your car) and hence argumenting with Hook's law wich only applies to linear springs.. and posting random stuff you dont understand to...

btw. the only thing your seem to be able to proof is Goodwin's Law

You sir, are an ignorant slut.

This is a keyboard forum, not a car forum.

Hooke's Law FTW!

I thought all Germans took Physics?

And to be ABSOLUTELY sure the force diagram for these is determined by the springs I did this simple test.

1. Removed Cherry Spring from a Cherry MX Red
2. Put a key on it. It ALMOST depresses - the key weighs .8g (see Geekhack Key Ref Wiki for details)
3. Add a 1 Yen coin that weighs 1.00g on top (see Geekhack for details, coin pics are BANNED)
4. The switch collapses. Indicating at MOST 2g of force is added by the switch leaves.

See my subforum at Geekhack for details. I'm too lazy to deal with posting pics at TWO different forums.

I don't want to start trouble but why is the rip-o-meter banned on deskthority?

Please stay on topic or I'll have to report you.
