I had to swap out my BlackWidow Ultimate for another one because one of the LEDs were broken. The actuation force on my new one feels noticeably higher. Is there a break in period? Or did I just get a lemon.
EDIT: My old one had an actuation force of 45g, this one is 50g |

I have a Logitech G15 and it takes just over 70g. (Probably 71-72g) to depress a key. This keyboard is a year old and with HEAVY use.
I assumed nickels were exactly 5g and tested it that way, by stacking 14 nickels on top of various keys. I would like others to see how many nickels they can stack on their keyboards (preferably your mechanical keyboards!) so I can get an idea of what weight is required to press them down. Yes I know the required weight is listed in the "Mechanical Keyboard Guide", however I want real-world tests with people messing with nickels. Tell me what switch type you have and how many nickels it took to depress it! Not being prejudice against other membrane users either, post also. ![]() |

I just added Apple Extended II Mitsumis to the Switch Peak Force Database Peak Force database courtesy of Pardox Me. 75 to 80g. From a Vintage Computing Day when Giants With Stiff Fingers Walked The Earth.
Post 12,322 of the Mechanical Keyboard guide. Lol. |
