Cherry MX Silent?

[mtl]

Bram, any plans for a MX Clear variant? I'd love dampened blue/green/white switches but it doesn't look like their current design would support it.

Maybe Cherry needs to start making Hall effect switches...

Be pleased they're even bothering with this. They came close to dumping keyswitch manufacturing entirely, and might yet if the clones eat their lunch.

Most of those questions I cannot answer as I dont have that switch on hand myself.. That you could better ask to our Corsair directly ..

But what I can say is that for now we dont have any plans with this switch(es), or should we consider it ? That would be an interesting conversation for us

I'd rather see a full ANSI version of the NovaTouch with up-stroke dampening on those hybrid Topres; wouldn't need the MX Silents then...

Hehe good to hear

Make a tkl with beamspring switches

Would you like a 12 inch pianist to go along with that?

The results in the video are unfortunately not that impressive :/

I think they've gone good route with these. I'm more interested to see if they'd bring out damped Clear sliders, though. I've been doing something that approximates this with all my Clear switches for a while now. I add a piece of rubber in the stem tube for bottom-out damping (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50632.0) and apply some liquid latex to the underside of the switch top where the slider hits the casing for release damping (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50 ... msg1113167).

It's nice and really adds something to the feeling and sound of the switches, but I'd love to have switches that I don't need to modify to get to that state

Not interested in Linears, though.
