That "tick" is actually due to the destruction of the switch housing in order to see the spring profile during keypresses. It is due to the stem slider being pushed up higher along the metal leaf than it normally should, and then bumping over the leaf on the way down.
@@4734291 not from my experience, I think what matters for feel is preloading due to length (slow springs) or weight of caps, or gradient in coil density (progressive springs). My guess is the multi-stage springs are used to reduce harmonic reverberations and make the spring quieter (a two stage should be quieter and more high pitched crunch than a three stage, which should sound deeper), but it's surprising how little solid info there is on these springs in a mechanical keyboard context, since most multi stage springs are made non-linear, but most of the keyboard kind are made to behave linearly. I would need to test to know for sure, and I can't be bothered.
Just wanted to say this was tremendously helpful with a convo I had with friends about staged springs and spring crunch, and so on. Thank you!
When your switches sound so good you have to taste them
:D
damn.. that is kind of odd somehow lol. What is favorite type of spring?
I am doing a little research on switch springs haha.
It has some "tick" in between keypresses, is this originally a linear switch or tactile switch?

Is there any difference from ruclips.net/video/uGRbdWSYgVc/видео.html ?
Act as a Tactile bump for Liner Switch.
