Hey there, I first saw them mentioned on hackaday, but this is the link to the github with all the info.

I have a 3D printer. I might just give this a go.

I love Reddit, all the things I need to do that I didn't know I needed.

I know the feeling, I'm gonna be pumping some out myself here soon, the 3d printing sub twisted my arm into grabbing a Bamboo Labs P1P.

Oh wow. You go straight to endgame don’t you! I started with a $100 MP select Mini.

My momma always said, "Anything worth doing is worth doing right."

In all honesty I've been looking for a while because I'm cripplingly indecisive, there were too many reasons for the P1P in the end and I bit the bullet.

Makes me think of an idea for elextro magnetic switches. The idea is that they give you a tactile bump by running brief current through a coil, fed from the led pins. The strength duration and character of the bump would be selectable. The f and j keys could subtly vibrate when you push gently on them. Instead of homing bumps.

Sounds more annoying.

The void switches are cooler tho

Chyrosran22 did a teardown of them

Why? I actually like that design better, the Hall effect sensor inside means it’s actually a pressure sensitive analogue switch (like the triggers on game controllers) where you can give get a while range of values instead of a Boolean open/close.

Voids are hall effect too, but offer a tactile variant. The MX style one does not

I bet, but I would also wager that there was substantial refinement done to take it from the original concept on the GitHub to a viable market product.
