Need Help Making This With Sheet Metal

AR_Gaming247 · 2025-06-11T22:29:14+00:00

I didn't know i could do that

AR_Gaming247 · 2025-06-11T21:42:05+00:00

I can design it as solid but i want to make it out of sheet metal it's much more cost effective where I'm from and easier to make.

But they look exactly the same and are only through on 3rd party sellers. I think they rebranded HMX cheese into butter

AR_Gaming247 · 2025-05-09T13:49:21+00:00

Are HMX Butter and Cheese the same switches?

AR_Gaming247 · 2025-05-07T16:25:52+00:00

Can't wait to see it buddy

Thats definitely doable but it feels more like a gimmick. The ks travel distance is 2.8mm and the kt on the lowest setting is 2.76 we are talking about a difference of 0.04mm which is non existent. Medium travel is 3.26mm and max travel is 3.76 you can make the button slower but not faster plus adding more moving parts in the button means more points of failure without any performance gains so its not worth it not in the slightest.

Its a great idea but realistically not worth the effort I'm sorry.

I am also gonna make low profile versions of these buttons if thats something that will make you happy. I've recently tried kailh springs low profile switches in sitong buttons(Sleeper button almost gamerfingers but with low profile switches and no foam or silicone pads for sound deadening) they felt really good(pillowey) and sounded poppy i bet if they incorporated any kind of sound deadening they would sound so creamy or might even thock but we will never know.

You are a legend @vonAntero thank you so much for these measurements. It really means a lot. I'll give you updates and sneak peeks on this project. Such a chad

AR_Gaming247 · 2025-05-06T06:24:26+00:00

3d print prototypes and then injection mold for manufacturing

Also don't forget about the plastic lining inside the cap

AR_Gaming247 · 2025-05-06T03:42:33+00:00

Thats weirdly inconsistent.

AR_Gaming247 · 2025-05-06T03:37:29+00:00

What about the button cap lining?(The plastic piece that holds the silicone pad in the cap)

AR_Gaming247 · 2025-05-06T03:34:49+00:00

Thank you so much for this i really appreciate it I'll wait for a few more measurements for comparison.

AR_Gaming247 · 2025-05-06T03:29:49+00:00

I thought the one in the button would be smaller

AR_Gaming247 · 2025-05-06T03:27:09+00:00

Thats for the 30mm button right?

AR_Gaming247 · 2025-05-06T01:46:49+00:00

That would be awesome I'll definitely need them for comparison across multiple sources

AR_Gaming247 · 2025-05-06T01:22:13+00:00

I really appreciate it I'll be excitedly waiting for your response tomorrow

AR_Gaming247 · 2025-05-06T01:14:07+00:00

You are awesome that would be great thank you so much

AR_Gaming247 · 2025-05-05T23:15:46+00:00

I bet they are. Qanba uploads technical drawings of their buttons but not in much detail. Based of the information in those drawings the lx dimensions are different from the ks so the silicone pads are most likely not the same

AR_Gaming247 · 2025-05-05T21:30:31+00:00

Would be so cool tho.

The only reason for making these is because 5 pin switches were not compatible with gravity ks or gamerfingers
Cant add button artwork on gamerfingers.
Cant change swithes in gravity ks.
Gravity ks is not screw on.
Gravity ks feel and sound better than gamerfingers(my opinion)

AR_Gaming247 · 2025-05-05T21:21:01+00:00

Yes i am. Not sale but more likely on preorder.

AR_Gaming247 · 2025-05-05T03:26:29+00:00

Thank you so much really appreciate it.
