Both models share the same compact size, assembly process, and overall design philosophy. Each version is optimized specifically for its respective switch platform.

Mechanical Keyboard Clicker Ball

A compact, satisfying fidget toy built around 12 Kailh Low Profile mechanical keyboard switches.

The goal of this design was simple: create the most compact clicker ball possible while keeping the tactile feel of real keyboard switches. The result is a fully mechanical clicker ball measuring only 50mm (2") in diameter and using approximately 28g of filament.

Every face of the ball provides a satisfying mechanical click, making it perfect for desks, meetings, gaming setups, or anyone who appreciates the feel of mechanical keyboard switches.

Features

Custom Designed Supports

The shell pieces include custom-designed integrated supports that are printed as part of the model.

Unlike traditional slicer-generated supports, these supports were specifically engineered for the geometry of each shell segment, providing:

• Clean support interfaces
• Excellent surface finish
• Easy removal
• Consistent print results

Simply print the included files and remove the supports after printing.

Assembly

Assembly is straightforward:

1. Print the center core and 12 shell segments.
2. Install the 12 Kailh Low Profile switches into the core.
3. Snap the shell segments into place.
4. Start clicking.

No glue, magnets, screws, or additional hardware required beyond the switches.

Other switch styles have not been tested and may not fit correctly.

Print Settings

Recommended:

• 0.20mm layer height
• PLA recommended
• Supports disabled (custom supports are already included in the shell files)

Colors

Only recommendation on color is a black core will help hide the switches but is not required. I'm uploading a two-plate version so the core can be printyed in a different color than the shells!

If You Print One...

I'd love to see your build!
