How Hall Effect Keyboard Switches are MADE! - YouTube Watch On Remember that TV show 'How It's Made'? Whenever I would feel a little under the weather, I'd sit down in front of the TV and watch the step-by-step process of making a golf ball. Good television, that. Wooting has since put together something similar for keyboard nerds: a rundown on how a Hall effect key switch is made. It starts with plastic injection, which is used for the top case, bottom case, and stem. The machine takes plastic pellets and injects them into a mould, with a cavity in the shape of the final plastic component. Interestingly, any unused material from the process is not recycled back into the machine to be reused. As Calder notes, "For the Lekker Tikken switches, we don't use any recycled material to make sure the mechanical properties are better so we get less wobble, more consistency and just a better product overall for your switches." Next up is switch assembly. No prizes for guessing what goes on here.…
