This hobby is killing me. Q2 just started and I'm already in 5 diff GB. rip wallet

ok haha

for key cap sets that don't have matching caps, i do the same also (for instance, recent double-shot pbt from capturers; they are fine for 65% and above)

recently, there are sad news about switches made by jwk. it affected certain switches released since feb 2021, related to either their sliders, or very tight top housings. (so far, reported switches are kiwi, tangerine, everglide's aqua king v3) the reported issues are key chattering, sluggish key travels, and sliders got stuck during debounce. rumors said announcements will be made for further actions, after the investigation by jwk.

as of now, to use them normally, possible 'fix' suggested by users are:
1. replacing the sliders;
2. relubing.

i have aqua king v3 37g and 62g. luckily mine are not having serious stuff like key chattering, or sliders got stuck, but few of them are experiencing relatively sluggish key travels. i will relube some of them and see if they can make it for a reference build hehe

worst comes to worst, i just use them as base for custom switches

edit: personally, i like aqua king v3. however, it might not be for you. a very tight tolerance in switches to minimize stem wobbles will have potential issues like sluggish key travels, due to increased frictions. just find the balance, and make adjustments accordingly.

haha yes maybe find one day, we join some friends, and syok sendiri together lol

er if they have old stocks, why did they need to take it down?

about smoothness, imo, stock tangerine is similar to stock jwk recolored. the difference is not obvious. the main difference is its sound profile, compared to nylon and pc housings. to me, it's more 'crispy' (that's the only word about the sound that i can come up with. please compare it to nylon and pc housings hehe)

if it's only one switch, and lubing can fix it, it's not a problem. to me, the problems are key chattering (sliders getting stuck during debounce might still be able to get fixed, by lubing, swapping springs or sliders)
don't la it's one of my collections that i wanna keep for a long long time

Hello, since my venture into modding my razer 2 months ago, I have amassed a sizable collection of switches.
It is available for testing in my non-pc related shop in KL if anyone is interested.

I am normally there from 12pm to 6pm, shop close at 6pm.
