Thank you very much boss
Can I make a click mouse quiet? Thanks.
Thx a lot
Such a satisfying noise when those things click…
You're a smart fucker spending 27 minutes on a simple switch, on the other hand, making a vid on a regular timebase can be a bitch too. btw you didn't talk about the abs casing of the switch, very dissapointing! LOL!
nice
These are the kind of switches in the average computer mouse. You can modify it to make your click quieter by very slightly bending the top connection part down to shorten the distance that the toggling metal piece has to move. Definitely try on an old mouse first though so you don't break your good one.
hua is pronounced hwa
almost the same kind of switches are used in computer mice,red plastic thing means harder to press than white,but the real stuff is made by omron,and those can handle 3 amps if I remember correctly
excellent macro shot, that can never happen to my ASUS GO budget crap lens….
The spring is probably bronze. As for the contacts, phosphor bronze is resistant to welding.
I like this kind of video very much! The one where your presented different wires was also good ! Very abstract to decide which AWG you need. It would be cool to have an "example thickness sample sheaf". Anyway, I like these switches !
The material is a spring brass for good fatigue life plated with nickel/silver alloy for conductivity and also the corrosion is conductive. The good model railroad tracks are made of or plated with nickel/silver alloy for the same reasons. The switch may be rated 1A@125VAC but the DC rating will be significantly less as DC does not have a zero point to stop the arc. I once had to replace a motor contactor rated at 40A@250VAC when I used it for 10a@90VDC and it almost exploded. A plastic chamber full of plasma is exciting.
would be interesting to see how much/little delay there is between NO and NC.
Measure the delay maybe with a Arduino?
Nice to see precision on such a small scale.
What type your camera is ?
