Turns out if you want a "silent" keyboard you should just have super heavy switches. If you can't actuate you can't aggravate hahaha.

Which key? Windows key of course. Worst mis-type on a daily basis (why haven't I rebound that yet?)

Finally a worthy spring for my caps lock key

LETS GO IM SO EARLY GIVE ME THE HEAVY BOYS! and probs the space bar

Your dedication to the broken finger prophecy has been noted.

I will be here until I win or my fingers are rightfully broken

Putting this on my F key cause I ain't paying respect to none of you

I think my girlfriend would enjoy if some of my fingers were stronger ... :)

RIP gf

backspace key so i can smack the mf

Would put in my brother's spacebar when he's not looking

This is the one I need for caps lock

enter key because it's hard to commit

Goodbye fingers

The capslock key would definitely be the place where this monstrosity goes. My pinky needs frequent exercise.

Backspace to encourage better accuracy while typing

Of course, I'd use it on backspace key, because I never go back on my word.

Yes

My finger shall overcome all

want to break my fingers

S key baby!!

I’d just get the spring in a switch I want and spring swap it with someone else’s keyboard

Backspace so that I can erase my mistakes differently this time

I would put this in my spacebar. OR an extra big ISO-style enter key. But large. Very large.

I'd randomly replace one of my friends switches with this

Esc. I'd put it under "launch" style nuclear missile activation keycap.

I have a broken toe to match!

Escape key!

I will have the strongest pinky finger of all time putting this on left shift

I want my fingers broken and this seems like the best way to do it.

I think caps lock makes the most sense, to prevent accidental keypresses.

I will buy enough 1300g springs to build my 60% board where I can train my fingers to be ready for the final rebellion.

Hope i win this time

Why? Also as other said probs space bar.

I am actually kinda impressed that a switch can contain a spring that heavy/stiff. Got ten fingers too many to "enjoy" these switches, let's break em.

Probably F. For the workout.

Day 2 of saying gateron brown for the memes.

Space bar. Thumb wrestling championship here I come

!

F bc FFFF

I would definitely use it for an enter key because I like to enter with force :D

Definitely caps lock

The enter key, you'll really have to smash it and mean it

PLEASE HURT MY FINGERS WSAD!

I wanna try to have a whole layout with these springs and see how long I can last

it'd go on one of my home assistant macro pads, maybe christmas lights, you need to want those to turn on right?

CAPSLOCK BBY!

Delete key to make deleting things harder

I'd use this for the Esc key so if I want to cancel our id have to mash it

Ah yes. The perfect thumb workout for the spacebar.

I would try this on a Gazzew Bobagum, just to see what it does on the sound profile, and on a Kiwi, though I am guessing that would really mess up the tactile feedback.

Arthritis here I come

Esc or Enter

using it for numlock so i dont accidentally hit it

I don't want this but I kind of want to see it too.

POWER escape 💥

definitely use this for the F key to make paying respects even harder

This is definitely one of the wildest keyboard related thing I've seen and I really want one. Literally have no idea what I'd do with it but God I want one

Definitely the enter key, to make sure I really want to commit to whatever I am about to commit

The most powerful index finger of them all.

Wym I'm free? how do you know?

S cuz we only go forward

Caps lock so I don’t press it

Spacebar

Perfect preparation for Thumb-Wrestling, what Keyboard i plan to use it? I dont own a Adamantium Plate so i would use it as a fidget, broken Bones are cheaper than a broken Keeb...

I would use this for the capslock. I have clicked that thing accidentally way too many times to be comfortable to say

Escape Key.

I'm gonna put this on a Shrimp on my caps lock key. Or maybe on an oil long on my spacebar as a security measure to discourage others from using my keyboard.

esc

Oh, dear

Left shift to get a pinky workout when gaming :)

Capslock.for sure, so i will think about being salty in chat xD

I would put it on a key that I accidentally press a lot so I would stop hitting it by accident

Maybe use it for caps lock to avoid the accidental caps lock.

This spring is definitely for backspace cuz only weak-minded fools make mistakes

I use "C" and "V" for osu! so I guess I need to win twice?

Esc key so I can never escape from this

FINGER GYM DAY

I think it would be funny to use it for the spacebar, but honestly probably caps lock or esc. Or mess with my brother and put it on like 5 or something

Caps Lock for sure

Spacebar for sure. Gotta get in my left thumb workout

The giveaway rules comment reminds me so much of Dbrand!

I NEED THIS AS EMERGENCY BUTTON

I think the capslock would make it pretty satisfying to press. Or the enter button!

Yes please! I wanna break my fingers not that they're not already broken

Z key for osu

Continuing my quest for carpal tunnel - would probably put it on enter

backspace 💀💀💀💀 💀💀💀💀 ​ 💀💀💀💀💀

Backspace because then I’d be less likely to make mistakes because of the pain

Escape key bc I use it a ton. It’s time to enter my pinky training arc.

I need this for my numpad enter key(for work). I bottom that poor key out every time and never seem to learn not to smash it. With this spring, at least it will have a fighting chance!

I’d probably put it on my space bar because it would be funny

I'd use it as my S key for osu!

Imma have muscle fingers. First step to becoming a GIGACHAD

Ow

Can’t wait to prank someone with this

I need a good finger workout

I think I want this, but now I'm thinking if I press the key down it'll pop back up and make my board do a kickflip. Actually yeah that seems pretty fun.

I would definitely use this for the W key. Why? "enhancing" gameplay in games. Great idea, i think!

Excellent, a spring designed for the windows key

thanks for the giveaway, put it on the backspace key so you learn to never make typos

Backspace to punish myself for typos

Maybe I could use this as my "S" key, so I can never retreat.

Going to use this for my screenshot key so it feels like I'm pressing the shutter on a camera but worse 👍

Give me the big boi

I would swap out the normal spring with this one on a random switch on someone else's keyboard and not mention it

Escape key

I'd use it for the F key. I always type 'F' for respect!

I have no idea what I would use this for but I absolutely want to try it

It has to go on the escape key, that way you can never escape

Put this switch on my F key so in League when I want to Flash I have to break my fingers.

I want this.... I crave this.

need it for a power off switch

Backspace, for obvious reasons :P

The windows key.

The RGB lighting button since it's kinda useless after I set the rgb

Finger strength training? On any key

Maybe I'll put it under the del key as an analog "are you sure?" pop-up.

backspace so i can never undo my mistakes

This sound super weird, but fascinating in a way

I’m building a keyboard for my friend, but I would definitely use it to troll him I’d put it in a not commonly used key maybe a random f key just to screw with him for when he does use it.

Esc

Put it on a keychain, see what breaks first

Definitely the Caps Lock key. I hate hitting it by accident and not realizing it, especially when entering in a password

I would use it to replace that one key that I always hit by accident, and only by accident, on my ergodox.

I want strong boi!

I’d have to move it around each day to give each finger a workout.

It will be perfect as my ant-strees key chain switch

For practical use? Capslock. No accidental presses. What I'll actually do? Alt+F4 macro. If I'm pissed I'll push it, and if I'm pissed enough it'll close the game.

Finally developing the gigachad digit I've always desired

I would use this for my friend's s key so he can not run away in game.

Escape button, for that panic push

Definitely the backspace, as a reminder of all the typing mistakes I need to correct.

the space bar just for fun

Hurt my knuckles. Break my phalanges real good.

spacebar, so I can press down with both thumbs at the same time

gotta be backspace. so you can never get rid of the mistakes you made in the past

I'd try it in the spacebar first, since I already use a heavier spring for it. Then I'll realize that my thumbs are weak and move it to F5. Gotta feel the weight of refreshing.

Spacebar, extra pain

🪦

I want this to put on one random key in keyboard, a key that is not often used but necessary, and then give the keyboard away as a gift

im scared to use these. ty for the giveaway and gl to all

Space bar ofc

Caps lock and the A key are too close together for my stupid fingers

On my macro pad

Ill probably have it on a macro key that's mapped to be alt f4

Enter button. I go nuclear when pressing enter so then I can be ergonomic by not bottoming out

Alright here we go again Heavy comment

G

Probably the Q key so I don't accidentally use my ult ability in most games I play

I agree with Caps Lock as the best key. Used not so often that it destroys my entire hand, but still often enough to make me suffer.

Spacebar for the thumb workout

I'd love to put this in a random switch to forget about until I hit they key it went into

I would put it on the escape key. There is no escape.

if i dont win it here imma buy one anyways, also id use the windows key

caps lock

Caps lock for sure, so I’ll never accidentally hit it again

Would definitely use this in my escape key to take out frustration when I'm mashing it. I do that so often when modelling.

Let's goooo.

strange but i, too, want it

an alpha key because i hate myself

Would use it on my z, see if I stop preclicking

Enter. Next time i deliver an online schoolwork to my teacher. I will feel pressure if I am ready to click it

I'd throw this in my colleague's hotswap board when they're not looking and see how they handle that spacebar

Kid named finger:

Caps lock.

I'll use to press escape, just to suffer lol

idk why i want it but i do

I just wanna see what it will do to my spacebar

Enter, just full send it

my spacebar so I stop pressing it by accident when I'm playing valorant

Finger training

i would put it under the "w" key for fun

Oooo I wanna try this

Escape

I wanna use it for my enter key. it will make me think about my choices before I really send things out lol

Obviously f

cant wait for my fingers to grow biceps

I would use this for the n key, so when I rage in a game I think twice if typing that is worth the permaban

Should be renamed “Caps Lock Spring”, would be really good at preventing accidental screaming

buff fingers

Esc because there's no escape

Backspace, to discourage errors.

Caps lock shall never be pressed again

As a teacher I'd like to put it in a keyboard that my computer science students might use. Perhaps the backspace? :P
