2016 ck3 - Key Force Testing
I'm testing actuation force for few keys on my old modified keyboard CK3.
Usually regular keyboards (and most mechanical too) have about 50gf (gram force).
I'm using weights of 4.5 gram, glued 2 pieces so 9g (2 smaller sets).
And 1 set of 3 pieces so 13,5g - this is Alt key press value.
L key neede 2x 9g so 18g. Rest of keys needed 3+2 weights x 4.5 so 22.5g.
This is much softer and nicer to press. Also less tedious and healthier (lesser risk of e.g. Repetitive Strain Injury).
This was originally an A4 Tech KX-100 keyboard, I cut off most of rubber domes, glued them to keys, and I'm also using Teensy 3.1 with an OLED, shown in my other videos.
Weights came with a Logitech G5 mouse.
