Awesome, was looking for anything different. Force curve looks similar.

PlacaFromHell has the right idea.

Re: reverse force switch interest


My initial thought is that you have set out to engineer a mechanical switch that has the general behaviour of generic rubber membrane boards. Those seem to require some force at the top to collapse the rubber dome, then less force after that point till you bottom out.

Frankly I don't see the ...

Is it contact-based?
Sadly, yes.
Could do a contact-less version but that would kill compatibility with CherryMX and the like. (Different board required)

reverse force switch interest

Would anyone be interested in a "reverse force" switch?

Example of what I mean in the pictures.

There's a few things every typical switch does that this type of switch would do differently

Switches are supposed to start their force curve at the top rest point. They rarely do, I find there's half ...
