Since rubber domes are a completely different technology, there is no direct comparison to them in mechanical switches.

Edit: The closest to a “Name” we have in the community would be “Heavy Tactile”. But this might not necessarily be the thing you are actually looking for…

You can check out this selection of force curves: https://github.com/bluepylons/Open-Switch-Curve-Meter/blob/main/Force curve measurements/README.md

Maybe you find a switch that is interesting to you.

And I have two suggestions for you:

1. Since it sounds like you have not written on mechanical keys for a long time yet - get used to the ones you have at the moment and try to “forget” the feeling of the rubber domes that is present in your fingers. And experience what mech. keys are generally good at. E.g. that you don’t need to bottom out. That would be the FIRST thing to do. Otherwise you might end up spending a lot of money in the search of something that just can’t exist.
2. Order a broader range of switch samples, from different switches & manufacturers. Maybe just 2 switches each at first. Try them out and see what you really like. It is hard to find the right switch just by looking at the theory. You can find a list of vendors here: https://kbd.news/vendors

The further the bump is in the middle, the less noticeable it will become.

So just that I understand: Why exactly do you want to have it in the middle? What does it give you?

Regarding this Victsing Keyboard: It’s hard to find anything about this board, but it looks like this isn’t even a mechanical keyboard. More like a cheapish rubber-dome board.

If you wanna have more of a “rubber dome” feel, you wanna have something without pretravel. E.g. Gazzew Bobba U4T

Additionally, silent switches don’t bottom out as hard as normal switches, so they feel a little more "rubber dome"in that regard.

If you can find them, Kailh Crystal Royal Box switches might be something for you.

Also, something like a “Gazzew Bobba U4T” might be interesting for you. It doesn’t have more force, but the tactile bump is really far up, effectively eliminating pre-travel of the stem. So your fingers directly “sit on the bump” in rest position, which might give you a more satisfying tactile feedback. (Note, there is also a silent version of this switch with the U4 variant)

I have the Fairphone form iode with their OS on it. Best phone I had so far and the System ist pretty much set up the way I like it out if the box.

I mean, the headline of this post already makes me irrationally angry. 😂

Y u no close brackets!?

Switching the launcher will almost do ZERO for your privacy. Just to let you know.

Anyhow, you could check out the “F-Droid” App Store, which is populated with the most privacy respecting open source apps out there. It also has some launchers.

Or you could at least check apps on Exodus for trackers.

• “n-jinx” wäre “en dschinks”
• “engine x” wäre “endschin iks”

Um das mal phonetisch zu schreiben: Es würd sich ungefähr wie “en dschinks” auf Deutsch anhören.

Only if you drink it in considerable amounts. Should be pretty fine for a bath though.

Don’t eat your bath salts. Don’t drink your bathwater.

As a general rule: Just don’t.

Heavy water - like water, just heavier.

It’s a federated system just like Lemmy, Mastodon, …

(One of the) first step would be to find an Instance that you might like to join. https://joinpeertube.org/instances

Then, an App that can also handle peertube would be e.g. NewPipe - which is also a very good 3rd party app for YouTube and alike. https://newpipe.net/

True. My hair has never been better.

Do you then ONLY wash the with water or do you wash them with something special from time to time? I use a little hair soap and apple vinegar maybe once a week, as they still tend to get a little “heavy” after days with just rinsing them with water.

If you need some inspiration on existing boards: https://golem.hu/board/ --> set the filter on “ortholinear” for “matrix style” boards.

First you need to find a board, then we can help you to build it.

(You COULD build a board from scratch, but if you have not built a board yet, or have no background in mech. / electr. engineering, this me a bit too much at first.)

While the whole world is beeing like

Is it weird

No. You’re fine.

Well put me in a dress and call me Sheryl. Never knew that the “accepted definitions” were really that close. Thanks!

I knew that some definitions of OSS were really basic (as in “as long as there is source at some point”) but I didn’t know that the OSI definition was so close to the idea of “free software”.

I found the read about the history and similarities & differences quite interesting: https://web.archive.org/web/20180915200609/http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html
