Description

This spring is intended to replace a keyboard switch in any of my keyboard switch fidget tappers!  It does not click, so it would be a good substitute if you prefer a silent fidget (or of course if you don't want to purchase keyboard switches!).  

Here is a collection of compatible fidgets: https://makerworld.com/en/collections/2399213-keyboard-switch-tappers-by-val

 

Materials:

I highly recommend PETG, but it will work in PLA if that is all you have.  PLA will be less springy and will warp more quickly than PETG, but it is still quite fun.  Let me know if you try other materials!

 

Assembly:

Insert the cross into your keycap first, then push the base of the spring into the cavity for the keyboard switch.

 

Compatibility:

The dimensions are similar to a cherry switch, so it should fit into most fidget toys that use mechanical keyboard switches.

There are two versions included, with slightly different sizing on the “cross” part that goes into your keycap.  I suggest printing both versions to see which fits better, since they are only about 1.5g of filament each.  In my experience, the smaller cross fits well into my 3d printed keycaps, and the larger cross fits better into a manufactured keycap.
