Hey y’all! After the initial IC for the Synthetic Melody
switch I decided to make a few adjustments in accordance
with community feedback. While I love the name Synthetic
Melody I am in agreement that the name was a bit
overcomplicated for a switch so the switch is now simply
“Melody”. Though the design remains mostly unchanged, some
revisions have been made to make the tactile bump a bit more
noticeable since the original perceived tactility was
basically linear. While that was sort of the intention, me
calling it a “linearn’t”, it was a bit overemphasized. The
switch now features a different leaf and provides a bit more
tactility, coming in at a ~12g tactile drop, but still
retains that ultra light tactile near-linear feel. However,
I will be doing some individual private testing to ensure
these incoming samples fit the design. Additionally, one of
the sample batches yielded a very interesting feeling switch
wherein the incorrect leaf was provided and the resulting
switch was a heavy tactile that I have since fallen in love
with. I’m enjoying it so much I want to make it available to
everyone. As such, in addition to the Melody I would like to
introduce you to the Runner switch.
“It’s Friday night and the mood is bright as we head into
the weekend. You slap on your finest swag and make a
beeline to the local hangout spot in town with a pocket
full of milk money you saved this week for this very
moment. What will it be? Do you hit the disco first? Maybe
the arcade? Or perhaps you find yourself browsing the
vinyls at the local record joint? Man, what a time to be
alive!”
Today I am bringing you the Melody switch. As an
enjoyer of all sorts of switches in this hobby I’ve been
looking for a fun and different kind of tactile experience.
After falling in love with the sounds of Matcha Lattes,
Blueberry Chiffons and Tropical Waters I just had to partner
with Aflion to make something great. The Melody pairs the
classic PC top and nylon bottom of Aflion switch housing
materials with the perfect leaf, stem, and spring
combination that delivers a light weight tactile typing
experience with a smooth rounded bump. Think Matcha Latte
meets Holy Panda. If you’re looking for a fun and mild
tactile switch I implore you to check out these Melody
switches! (Also, the colorway is pretty dope.)
Melody Switch Specs:
“Rising out of bed just after dawn you greet the day with
a yawn and a stretch. You slide on your favorite runners,
throw on your trusty windbreaker and head out the door.
With your favorite tunes jamming in your ears you push on
as you hit a new personal best. But today isn’t any normal
day. Today you feel inspired. You press on, crisp air in
your lungs and a burn in your calves but you keep going.
Like all things in life, you continue forward. You make
one last sprint. It feels good. It feels amazing to push
yourself beyond limits. This is the life. “
The Runner switch really is just a happy little
accident. While designing the Melody I received a batch of
samples with the incorrect leaf which made them feel much
heavier and very tactiles. These sat for a bit while waiting
on updated samples but I decided to throw them into a board
and immediately fell in love. I ended up liking them so much
that I started work on a colorway as soon as possible. The
production version of the Runner will feature a nylon top
and bottom housing with a long pole tactile stem with a
tactile force drop akin to that found in switches like U4Ts,
Holy Pandas, and Dark Jades.
