Watching Netflix's version of The Three Body Problem (the Chinese one was better)
But these switches are awesome and I'd like to what they're called or if they're custom props. I might want to get them for an art project, a cyberdeck or who knows what.
Any button experts in the room? Please and thank you.

@enriquericos I think this is a question for @mwichary

@artcollisions I forgot how chaotic is trying to find the right platform for each country, so I'll leave that to you, but this is the show:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20242042/?ref_=fn_t_2
And the books are by Cixin Liu, so I assume he wrote them in Chinese, but they're widely translated.
@enriquericos Oooh, I can watch on Amazon. Thank you!! I had no idea.

@brunogirin Even if @mwichary doesn't know the answer, finding out that his book exists has made my day. Thanks!

@artcollisions You're welcome! I hope you like it.

@artcollisions You're welcome! I hope you like it.
@enriquericos I'm sure I will. I think I'm going to wait to start it. Still a little out of it from covid.

@artcollisions Sorry to hear that, I somehow missed that you got covid 😞

@enriquericos eh. thanks. I am trying not to whine about it too much. Just finished paxlovid yesterday.

@enriquericos They look like standard pushbutton switches, to me, but I'm a musician, so I have tons of them on effects pedals.
I would suggest taking a look at the "OptoKick" optical switches from TheGigRig. I know they supply them to other manufacturers.

@enriquericos
This might be something built on isostat switches or similar, judging by tall stems.
Yet the switches I remember were requring a quite great force and often being in sets where pushing one resets other. -

@gcvsa Thank you! I don't know the first thing about pushbutton switches, but searching OptoKick is already returning interesting results

Knowing about isostat switches might be useful too, I'm jotting this down, thank you!

@artcollisions Whine all you want and we'll read you and recommend good shows, or don't, whatever helps. I hope you get well soon 🙂

@enriquericos <3 Thanks. You're a sweetheart. Good shows to watch are always welcome!

@enriquericos Kinda look like tactile push button switches, but with a custom prop cap.
Edit: I should clarify that you'll probably want to be searching exclusively for the heavy duty ones to maximise similarity.

Those buttons on a bar can be momentary, in any position, and any number at one end can latch separately. There is a U hook for latching and a sliding bar with spring at one end for interlock, hence buttons not interlocked only at the opposite end.But the ones in the image are not that kind. They are separate push button switches and relatively common for the last 50 years. Less common now.

@gcvsa @enriquericos
I doubt they are optical. They are a niche much more expensive product needing power & ground. They are also limited in what can be switched. DC ratings often 1/5th of AC rating on a mechanical switch, due to risk of arcing with DC, so 50 V DC & 250 V AC at 1A is common. -

@AtotheJ I can always make the caps myself. Looking for heavy duty is a good idea, thank you!

@enriquericos I'm no button expert but agree this looks very cool and appears to have great tactile feedback.
Love all that OG #analogue electronic gear, switches, button, levers and potentiometers. Very cool for #RaspberryPi or #esp32 projects.

I'm learning a lot from all your replies.

@Elizafox torrented Netflix shows, to be specific
(srsly how good is Arcane)

@petealexharris @adriano throw into the mix also the whole «supply chain» bullshit that they tried to push with questionable success through their propaganda machines (sorry, “major tech journals”). Now they're trying to get control of it by making *themselves* an essential part of the supply chain of FLOSS development through their LLM control.

@KFears @FarmingWarMech almost always when I post something like, "ficking ABC sucks whenever I try to XYZ"
I just want to know that ABC also sucks for other people. Or that BCD sucks in a similar way. Or that, "ABC never worked for me so I switched to LMN"
But some people go like, "Trying to XYZ on ABC is dumb when LMN exists." And the judgement in the reply makes it odious for me. Especially because I most probably tried BCD and LMN but they didn't do everything that ABC does.

@KFears @FarmingWarMech I feel that, especially of Mastodon, people are very eager to be helpful. I love that.
But not every post is a problem to be solved. Not every post needs "a solution".
I myself did not understand this before I was on Mastodon. And so I have been more purposeful when I post. So that when I need an answer I will very clearly ask for suggestions or answers.
But...
