This doesn't work on MX switches as the leafspring does the actuation.
But it does work on Alps switches and optical switches like the flaretech ones used by Wooting in their early keyboards. My wooting one used to be chicky, but I made it linear. It's very wobbly but very smooth.
If it wasn’t intentional…. probably a bad thing. Plus a tactile stem isn’t supposed to feel linear, meaning you probably damaged the leaf in the switch housing which may lead to false keypresses or the switch not registering at all.
Yeah ik. It's fine tho as I'm building a levinson, so I need 48 switches but they only come in packs of 40,so I have way more than I need. Just wanted to see tactile vs linear gang fight it out in the comments
