2. PROGRESS/ RESULTS


2019-2021

-Builtbynim linear switch was designed using client commission data and personal switch sound preferences to produce a unique sound profile and a snappy feel.

12/08/2021

-Initial prototyping done with JWK and TECSEE,
-TECSEE manufacturing was chosen for v2 prototypes.

01/09/2021- (testing phase)

-Dual stage springs tested for spring sound stock vs lubed (105g0)
disclaimer* due to the lack of research and current developments in dual stage springs, there are some spring sound in stock form*

Results: spring sound little to non-existent with 105g0 application in bag lube form.

-Dual stage spring characteristics tested on switch housing lubed with thick 205g0

Results: due to the snappiness and higher rebounding properties of the dual stage spring, switches retained their snappy and forceful upstroke even after a thick 205g0 application. 205g0 application increased the "thockky" low pitch sound of the switch while remaining snappy. (205g0 recommended for modification).

06/09/2021- (testing phase)

-BBN (builtbynim) switches v2 tested against popular switches
BBN vs lavenders, milky yellows, opblack, marshmallows, banana splits (all switches used were lubed by 205g0 on housing (top+bottom only), 105g0 on springs and tested on actylic switch tester)

Results:
smoothness/scratchiness: similar to lavenders and banana splits, smoother than milky yellows, marshmallows and opblacks
sound profile: Unique sound profile, deeper tone than lavenders, opblacks, milky yellows, marshmallows, and banana splits on acrylic tester
