I love custom mechanical keyboards but is the wider community limiting itself by only sticking to MX switches? I know there are projects out there for custom topre, space invader, and alps. But with all the research the community has done, why hasn’t something truly unique come to market yet?
Using and reviving old switches is great but is there anyone working on making a new switch that isn’t affiliated with a large manufacturer like gateron or kailh?
The only new switch that’s independently made I can think of is Riskable’s void switch, which uses 3D printed switches that are actuated by magnetd. Chyrosan22 did an review of them and they seem pretty cool given their customization, here’s a link https://youtu.be/iv6Rh8UNWlI.
