The RisKey Switch: Customizable Contactless Magnetic Key Switch (print *reliable* and SMOOTH key switches!)

What if you could print your own key switches instead for like $0.04 each? When one wears out (after a super long time) you can just print another and *hot swap* it out! Wouldn't that be awesome? Well now you can!

Not only can you print your own key switches with this design it's *entirely parametric*. Want 2mm of travel? 6mm? It's up to you!

What about *the feel* of the switch? Well that's up to you too because **the spring is also 3D printed**! You can pick the precise actuation force you desire! And if you don't like it you can swap the spring out with a new one just by removing the keycap and replacing the spring. No need to take everything apart!
