I made my own. Got Kahil box silent browns and Kahil box royals. Used the spring and bottom housing from the royals and used the hammer stem and top housing from the silent browns.
Now I have a nice big bump with a strong spring and a quiet silicone bottom out.
That's a genius idea. How much were the switches? I'm thinking about doing something like this for my next board, it'd be a 75%.
I daily a 96 so I probably spent about $120 on 220 switches.
That's not too bad TBH, so, id say 80-ish then. Can you send where you got the switches from?
When I get home tomorrow I will look it up but I think it was an AliExpress vendor.
Oh, well I don't want to wait forever for my switches, so I'll find them elsewhere.
My ADHD brain loves it it's the birthday present I forgot I ordered!
Box brown on top of royals sounds really interesting to me. How "mushy" is the silicone bottom out?
I have peripheral neuropathy + my finger control isn't great, so I bottom out somewhat regularly -- I'm trying to figure out my best options for something very tactile with a sharp, non-mushy bottom out, but without the switch also being loud enough that someone'll want to set fire to my keyboard.
(Sorry for hopping in late, btw. I'm new to lemmy overall)
