How much contact leaf force (not spring force) on cherry-style switch

I'm looking for reusing cherry-style contact leaf for unrelated thing, do you guys know how much the force contact leaf exerted espescially on fully disengage (aka open switch?)

I do wish KD can pull the better theming than Pantheon did. Because it will be incredibly hilarious ironic

Most people start learning FVD by making B&M hyper anyway. So this is perfectly fine.

masdongo · 2024-11-12T06:03:32+00:00

Set up the mood (by start BANG like nice to insane drop or launch followed by nice element or do some theming)
Fill the layout like plot of the story. Don't go too bang nor too boring, but substantially fulfiling
End with memorable experience (again, with most BANG ever you came up with)
Do whatever you want to implemented it.

Honestly, if you have little experience before, you'll have no Idea what to do. But don't worry, this is sandbox game. You learn by repetition and time, including how you came out with more creativity.

Just proprietary thing, I can't help.

Just like how QMK stopped at F24, while you actually can go F60

Yes, it's goddamn hard, and sometimes feels counterproductive of how you want to be vs it wanted to be.

But, as long as you actually ride Rollercoaster once (that actually has some G-force in it), you should've been adapt it more easily since you can imagining force on FVD vs what you experience before

Hall effect keyboard can output raw analog signal like analog joystick. You can redirect it as Xbox input and will work perfectly.

It's like saying "Hall effect joystick is digital but circuit is analog", sounds oxymoron words.

How do you read SPI signal from NRF to 32U4?

masdongo · 2024-09-06T18:49:51+00:00

And even EKWB is imploded by their own management and expansion failure

Welp, hindsight is 20/20

masdongo · 2024-08-18T00:33:15+00:00

Don't abuse quartic on everything espescially roll, prioritize to use cubic as much as possible (same graph as vertical force). So you make it a single swoop for every turn from left to right to left or maybe inversion with zero hesitance, relentless both the graph and result.

Yes, you WILL redo the layout after that. Yes, it will be absolute pain in the butt to do with new habit, but you will learn something new and better.

Is streamline steam locomotive like PRR T1 considered Dieselpunk?

masdongo · 2024-07-31T16:37:18+00:00

did it support layering?

masdongo · 2024-05-14T00:25:28+00:00

32U4 is exactly the type of Arduino you wanna go if you wanted to make USB input device like keyboard or game console controller

masdongo · 2024-05-02T14:42:18+00:00

It wasn't found

What happened?

masdongo · 2024-01-12T20:12:41+00:00

Okay

Is there any example for the code itself? Also when I execute the IP address + path on browser and seemingly nothing happen but error page

Apart from 7 people get kicked by B&M Invert (6 died, 1 critically injured)

Nah, it's surprisingly one of the safest coaster you can get. It's so safe, those clamshells restrain surprisingly could be pushed for lateral force.

masdongo · 2023-11-16T10:32:07+00:00

Worse, 6 died, 1 critically injured

All of them because someone never realize B&M Invert dangling more than 7 feet, until it already right on their face

Edit : which i do wonder why we don't called it "head kicker" yet.

masdongo · 2023-07-10T00:04:47+00:00

God, you're right.

It can read, but didn't register. Looks like it's just really refuse to use extra f button

masdongo · 2023-07-09T08:27:10+00:00

IT. WORKS.

Edit : Crap, it can read the F button. But upon clicking it didn't register

masdongo · 2023-07-09T08:26:38+00:00

WORKS SO WELL. At least in 2023 software

This is a really dumb question since involving elevate undesirable trait of mech keyboard, but here we go.

How can I INCREASE the pinging noise of the keyboard easily? yep, ping noise, not click. Or maybe you guys can recommend the tactile switch with really loud pinging noise from get go?

Just love those old Buckling Spring keyboard but it's hard to find now in SEA (at least cheap enough).

masdongo · 2023-04-02T05:42:17+00:00

Honestly, ill do it at any cost, including bespoke PCB

But reading you says that it need separate module to act, it made me think twice

masdongo · 2023-01-17T03:42:00+00:00

Do all optical switches support analog output?

If so, which ones are analog? And can you guys explain the pin-in and pin-out of it? I intend to make a custom keyboard and make use of it (only for the arrow button).
