Reply to comment by QWERKey-UK in [Tachyteros Teaser] Prototype mechanical keyboard, keycapless, <0.5mm travel, self designed PCB+++ [See Comment] by Keeb-Weeb

easily obtainable switch. Hot swap capabilities with millmax sockets like keyboards and as far as the PCB goes, well, I did sent it with the image I posted unfortunatly. I fixed the PCB with V0.2. I'll use some wire and some trace cutting for V0.1 to punish me for fucking the diode arrangement lol

edit : and the switch isn't as a mystery as you may think. Plus the PCB hints at it anyways.

So why not just say what switch it is if it's generally available switch? We can take a look at it and arrive at a conclusion instead of all this cloak and dagger nonsense.

fine, FINE. I give up. I will be using mouse switches. Basically any switch that has 5.08mm between pins with mostly any height can be used, just need to adjust stand offs. Kailh mute's 2-pin up to TTC gold dustproof, to Huano 80M blue pink dot, Kailh GM8.0 black/transparent, etc.

edit : Let's say one day I want to have keycap compatability, I just need to have a plastic part molded for the top plate with cherry stems over the keys.

So when I said all of this (terrible to type on... not much better than a touch screen... can't be customised etc.) I was in fact correct, yet you felt the need to harrass me via PM because you thought I was being mean.

If you have cherry stems molded onto the top plate, won't that make printing on the top plate a bit tricky? Wasn't that this board's unique selling point? So it's a keyboard, with a flexible plastic top panel, that uses mouse switches. Won't it just feel like... well... pressing a button on a mouse?
