I found some old keyboard springs with an actuation force of 60-65g from an old keyboard I used to use for typing and was wondering if practicing with those for a bit would help improve stamina.

Does using heavier switches actually improve stamina?

What switch is it exactly? I remember people who play with blue switches have more stamina due to the heavier force of the switches, which they adapted to it and eventually results in more stamina, though, it may make you tired and also you will feel that you're tapping slower than your regular speed, it will take some times to get used to the switch initially.
Probably. It takes more force to press the keys so that could make sense.
You could be like rock lee though

I don't know, I use black switched and have decent stamina. Can't tell if it's linked or not though.
theoretically yes, when you switch back to a lighter switch, you should in theory be faster and have more stamina.
though the type and feel of the switch also makes a difference. (e.g: actuation point, travel distance, type of switch whether it is tactile or linear)
I use tactile switches and whilst switching to a linear switch with like ~3g ligher bottom out force did feel slightly faster, the fact that I was already used to the tactile switches made me better with it anyway and stamina felt the same.
If I played longer with the linears maybe I would've gotten more used to it and made better use of the weight difference but it wasn't worth the time investment for me to switch. In my opinion switches are mainly preference, use whichever you feel the most comfortable in using.

maybe not, unless you feel strained/stamina exhaustion on the underside of your forearm (with lighter switch).
afaik most people feel burn on the top of forearm, which is the finger raising muscle side. in theory, heavier switches train the muscles that raise fingers less, because they might push finger up more.
strapping weights to fingers would probably help

Interesting, didnt know which muscles were related to raising and pushing down, just got used to which muscle area would feel strained from the "movement". Learning something new every day.dung eater wrote:

Curious idea if weights on fingers would help... If there's a legit suggestion for how to pull that off, that would be even more interesting, cause all I can see is that binding something to the finger would make the movement impossible to perform due to getting in the way. I'd at least give it a brief try to see how it feels cause I'm curious
just watched that episode yesterday rock lee is a goatStomiks wrote:

Sew some pieces of metal on gloves in places where it doesn-t hinder tapping. I grabbed some metal wafers but idk if i'll stitch them on, mb i will. something solid would be better (with small holes for stitching? wafers have big holes in center so they are pretty bulky for the weight. e: after some testing it seems pretty doableKyomaku wrote:
