clem! Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 Hi all, where can I buy hexagonal switches?As seen here: Best regardsclem! Quote
frailn Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 It took some hunting, but I manged to find these after searching on "hexagon push button" - you may or may not want to purchase from this dealer, but it's at least a starting point in a search for other suppliers... Quote
stryd_one Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 A quick search around showed me that those switches are a bit special - I'd almost certainly say that these are custom. They're a membrane (not a pushbutton), and each key contains two contacts which are vertically spaced, which allows for velocity sensitivity:http://musicscienceguy.vox.com/library/photo/6a00cd972aa36b4cd5011015f5dc82860b.htmlI went on a short hunt for hex keycaps a while back but came up blank, so I'd like to know what you find - keep us posted, clem :) Quote

At first I won´t need any velocity-sensitivity. Quote
