So who has a Fujitsu Peerless? I think the dudes 80-90g
RipOmeter number is at least 10g too high. Age of switch or measurement error I don't know.
Webwit had one but burned it and put in the Flame Thread.

switchometered a sun type 6, softer than a bkack, more or less the same stiffness of a white dampened alps.

Well, THAT's an interesting unit of measure. A SOL means something different in English though.

Obviously is interesting.
The more interesting part is that 80/90g is surely wrong.

Does seem high. However I only provide the tools for Keyboard Science. Even Einstein didn't bother confirming E=MC2 himself.

In short, it fails and you are taking your hands off. Meh.
Elsewhere I said your only defense seems to be to yell it is science 1000 times while it is not and while you don't know basic math or physics, and without providing any substance. I didn't realize you'd be so kind to prove my point again so soon and so clearly.

Jeez, it's gravity.
Use 1g Yen if false precision is your thing. I did that for a while but prefer dithering.
65 1 Yen Coins

So far you've proven you can determine the weight of coins. I don't see the relevance.

You stack nickels until the switch collapses. Pull off a nickel. Add 1g yens until it collapses. Repeat for the entire keyboard. Do the spreadsheets. Then have OCN try it.
I was kidding about that last part.

I thought the only advantage of your method vs mine was accessibility. You seem to be fixing that by introducing yens.

That's why I recommending tapping to approximate the nearest nickel (where the +/- 3g thing comes from).
As long as you are consistent you can compare among switches.
On the Internet though almost 50% of the posters are below average intelligence so I make do.
Plus everybody should yen Yen.

Just picked up another from the OP "I'd Tap That! list".
Futaba (inverse stem version). 70g.

Damn, Sixty writes a good Futaba wiki. Must steal from it.
Only thing is the
RipOmeter got 70g, not 60g.
