do them the same, it wouldn't affect the tactility

For anyone reading i wanna recommend making sure to press the stem down in switches before snapping housings together again. Reason being that apparently tactiles can have their tactility lessened or damaged if you dont make sure the stem is pressed in while reassembling, it damages the leaf springs tactile bump part. (Gazzew advises to do it this way and ive found that my best tactile frankenswitches are garbage unless i assemble em this way as well) This issue can be fixed or undone but i wouldnt suggest trying as it can be like working with black magic and ruin the consistency of your switches. On the opposite end of the spectrum however, one of my favorite linear style switches can be made by modifying the leaf springs of a tactile switch. You can even get a similar feel just by adding lube to the stems where they contact that bump to make them feel more linear.

@4734291 google doesnt give any instructions about removing my keys or springs

@@chut3m166 search for opening mechanical switches

on god, most relatable ever

looks like black

I need heavier switches but i gotta agree with you on the length my favorite springs so far came out of my hmx xinhai switches.

Hey thanks for that, it means a lot!

Thanks for letting me know about the history! Like I said in the video I only found out about this from someone in person at a meet and didn't know there was an actual established name for it - if it's raincoat mod then cool it makes sense, just have never heard that mentioned before

IMAGINE

I don't want to use MT3 anymore T_T

There might be a groupbuy in the future where they'll sell those silicone jackets pre-cut to place on top of the switch. This will be a new era of keyboard modding

Copre is already a well-known nickname for the sheets and the mod has been known as the raincoat mod since at least 2018.

I didn't do much actually besides lubing the switches, but the FR4 half plate I was using was also contributing to this sound

agreed...you gotta just forget about it until it comes in lol. thank you!

@@tinstypos I literally forgot about it until I got an email reminding me to update my address if necessary.

it’s from super people, dropped earlier than I intended by resting my fingers on keys because springs were light

maybe watch the video

….maybe

@@tinstypos well custom keyboards are all about personalization, I think this kind of trial and error is dope!

Based on what I know, yes, but it’s hard to tell what’s underneath each keyboard without buying them :(

The boards with trackpads have the dome sheets. Please don't just buy boards to scavenge the dome sheets though unless you're going to give away the rest of the board, or repurpose it. TG3 boards are great boards in their own right. Not all TG3 boards even have discreet switches. The ones with this style of case do.

damn dawg thank you for watching! Hoping to get some more content out very soon, appreciate you!
