How to define a key that bottoms out early

[wbolduc]

I thought stem_throw was the parameter I would need to adjust but this just makes the stem shorter.

I'm looking to create a key that bottoms out at 2.3-ish mm of actuation but I still want the stem to fit the full 4mm.

Is there a setting to do this?

you could do something like this:

$stem_support_type = "disable";
$support_type = "flat";
$stem_throw = 3;

difference() {
  dcs_row(5) legend("⇪", size=9) key();
  
  union() {
    $stem_throw = 5;
    inside_cherry_cross(0.2);   
  }
}

no guarantees everything will still fit, but that looks like it's doing what you want

Thanks for the response, I'll be trying this soon!

I'm using these to play fighting games on keyboard so that I'm not slowed by key travel
