Love the look of these.

Been looking for something like this since TKC announced the Dragonfruit switch would no longer be progressive. Question about the spring since it looks symmetrical in the renders - does its orientation effect the force curve?

The renders were mostly just to show off how it looks, I’m going to see if the spring and stem can be updated in the render to reflect accurately.

The orientation does matter since the spring coils are tighter on one end. This is what gives progressives their force curve, iirc it’s roughly 8-10g lighter on key press and then the force curve gets exponentially higher from actuation to bottom out.

That’s why we decided on manual spring installation at the factory. Even though it does raise the price, we’re wanting it to be a good stock switch that anyone can use as is (or mod if they want, but appealing to the broad audience).
