NovelKeys Silk/Dry Series

Have you guys ever noticed this? I was not going to bother bringing it up but I’ve now seen it in every JWK linear switch I own (including tangerines, everglide, alpacas, NK dry, H1s, FFF cheese, well you get the point. I own them all). It’s such a slight annoyance, but it gets to me.

If you slow press a JWK switch (especially off center), at the last fraction of a millimeter there is a sudden drop off event as the stem suddenly drops to fully bottom out. I’m guessing it’s either from the slider moving past all upper support from the switch top housing or something to do with the contact leaf. It’s ever so slightly worse when you add films too.

Just wondering if others had noticed.

It seems to be the worst on my alpacas. I haven’t noticed it with tactile switches such as Koalas and T1s
