"TT Touch" Reborn!

[DominoTree]

Just placed an order for a big lot of custom replacement domes for our ST/Falcon keyboards that should be similar to the "TT Touch" domes and significantly improve how our keyboards feel.

The "TT Touch" domes were a massive improvement and definitely worth doing, and I'm hoping these will be the same.

If they come out as expected, I should have them for sale on my web shop in about a month or so. Final price TBD but they should be pretty cheap.

I'm also exploring options for springs as well, the domes alone should be a huge improvement but a combination of the two might be even better

I always loved the TT Touch keys. I put them in several ST machines I
have had over the years.

The addition of springs would be interesting!

New keyboard domes showed up - they feel great and work fine but there's a couple mm less key travel than with Atari or "TT Touch" domes - trying to decide whether to stick with these or try producing another batch.

One of the changes I made here was to add a *much* larger contact pad than on the OEM domes so typing should be way more reliable as well.

Guess I'll load up a full keyboard and try typing on it for a few days and see what I think.

A bit less travel could be a good thing IMO.

The new prototype domes showed up and so far I'm really happy with them - good tactile feel and not as "stiff" as the TT Touch domes are, and a decent amount of travel unlike the first prototype which was definitely too short.

Gonna type on them for a while and see how I feel but I think this might be the final revision for mass production.
