The switches inside your mechanical keyboard.

Many people don't know this but I'm the one who made these popular switch gifs that have spread around the internet and even stolen by some major keyboard manufactures and websites.

I decided to make some new ones to see if I can replace the old ones that have quite a few mistakes. I made the old ones here in algodoo too but it was a long ago before mechanical keyboards where a mainstream thing so I figured they would become as popular as they have.

Nice job! The action is smooth and precise. :tup:

So, did you work as an engineer for either a keyboard manufacturer or a switch manufacturer? If not, then how did you get into drawing sketches of keyboard switches?
a few years ago I was a member on a site called geekhack that was basically all about mechanical keyboards. this was before anybody knew what mechanical keyboards were. there were only a few different ones available and you couldn't even buy them in US. So basically I decided to try and spread the word about mechanical keyboards because they are just so superior to a normal keyboard of course. I took apart a switch and did made that original animation that is all over google if you type "mechanical keyboard"

Geekhack basically pushed mechanical keyboards to the mainstream market and now they are readily available and everybody knows what they are for the most part.
COOL! :tup:
Nice Mx Blue!
I checked out your video. I didn't realize the time, effort, and thought that went into making this scene. Very impressive. :tup: :tup:
Thank you :blush:
How did you find the video?
Lethalsquirl, this is pretty darn amazing:tup: The precision of the mechanical components must have taken some time to get right. It seems as though as soon as the connection is made, the mechanism snaps out of position, and the connection is stopped again. Impressive
Q: How did you find the video?
A: I was checking out your new gun, but since I seldom check out gun scenes, I did not know how to operate it. I inserted the mag and pulled the trigger but nothing happened. So I looked at one of your previous gun scenes and saw there was a video which didn't work for me. So then I went to YouTube and saw your switch video. I subsequently figured out how to operate the gun by recalling from action movies that something gets pulled back before firing the gun.
Hahaha I see :lol:
