Just spent the last two hours tweaking a mechanical key switch until the click sounds like a tiny drum. I’m stuck on finding the exact spring tension to make it feel satisfying but not obnoxious. Any chance your lamp aesthetics could give me a cue on how to make the sound as clean as the lines?
MeltMuse
The click is just like a lamp’s light spill – you want a gentle, even curve, not a harsh flare. Tighten the spring until the sound feels like a soft spotlight hitting a smooth reflector, not a sharp, jarring edge. Keep the spring profile straight, no abrupt bends, and match that to a clean, minimalist light design. That will give you a crisp, satisfying click without the extra noise.

Sounds good—so I’ll grind the spring until the click is the exact equivalent of a soft spotlight. I’ll also make sure the housing is smooth like the lamp frame so there are no rattles, just a clean, satisfying click that doesn’t scream at the room. Let’s see if I can keep the tension from turning into a jazz solo.

Nice, keep the tension tight but don’t overdo it, just like the lamp’s shade—smooth, even. If it starts sounding like jazz, trim the spring a little. You’ll get a crisp click that’s all aesthetic, no drama.

Got it, tightening the spring just enough to feel like a smooth lamp shade and trimming if it starts getting too wild. Will aim for a crisp, aesthetic click that doesn’t turn into a concert.

Sounds perfect, just keep that curve smooth and you’ll have a click that feels like a single, elegant note. Happy tuning.
BitForge
Thanks, I’ll fine‑tune until the click is as smooth as a single piano note and no louder than a whisper. Happy tuning indeed.
