- 'Bottoming Out' is Really Complicated... One of the areas where force curves are actually the weakest at capturing information related to the physical push feeling of switches is in the not so niche case where switches have aggressively sharp or soft, dampened bottom outs. In the case of switches with harsh, sharp, and pointed feeling bottom outs, this is often due to an elongated stem pole which collides with the housings early and prevents a switch from traveling a full 4.00 mm, as is traditional in the MX footprint. While it is more than possible to see when a switch bottoms out early using a force curve diagram, there’s not really any good way to tell how abrupt or sharp feeling that bottom out is. Some of the more creative among you may be inclined to think that the difference in slope of the steep bottom out region of a force curve might be a way that we could discern this information, but it’s unfortunately a function of too many variable for that to be the case. Namely, this slope appears to be affected by the stem pole length, housing material, and physical housing thickness too. Speaking on that latter point further, switches which have mechanically thicker or materially different housings such as those made of nylon, polycarbonate, POM, etc. all have different hardness values to how they bottom out as well – something that simply can’t be measured on a force curve meter. Force curve machines are really only good at reading the force of springs and how that spring force changes based on the shape of the stem of the switch and how it interacts with the leaves of a switch and not much else. When you stop to think about it, bottom housings are surprisingly absent in force curve diagrams, except where they start the bottom out!
Despite these few and somewhat far in between shortcomings of force curve diagrams, there’s more than enough reasons to seek them out and try and consult them when looking up your next switches to buy. Quantitative, objective measurement of tactile bumps and empirical results showing you bottom out weights and distances are incredibly useful to have and often can show where manufacturers and/or vendors have been less than accurate in their marketing. But, if the switches you’re seeking out have a bit more of a… something special… to their push feeling – such as heavy factory lubing, unique housing materials, or weirdly long/short stems – you may need a bit more information outside of just those force curves to know if those switches really are for you!
