Thank god I'm a clicky guy 

Kailh Box Jades.

yes, i have ws silent linear. compared to other silence implementations, ws silent linear has relatively lesser mushiness. all silencing implementations have some levels of mushiness. basically this is unavoidable.

from brief specification checks recently, gateron and kailh have few interesting innovations in key switch designs. gateron zero degree is the silent linear that i wanna try out later. it uses double-rail design, with built-in silencing pads at the bottom housings.

right, their default oem is haimu. i think ws wanna add full-pom linear in their selection, and gateron is making linears with their full-pom formula quite recently. note that for these key switches with shorter total travels, you should check the travel for actuation as well. some are not near 2mm, but much shorter, e.g., 1.2mm only. this normally creates a 'potong stim' feel, not comfortable for me.

the 'actuation point' is normally called pre-travel, i.e., the distance the stem travels before actuation happens. there are a number of names that have the same meaning, e.g., 'operating travel'. for key switches that follow mx design, it's usually at 2mm. (total travel is 4mm) if a force-travel diagram is provided, it's the distance to reach the operating position/point.

edit: the following example is from gateron, for their north pole series.

which HMX did you used before. I was contemplating to get some HMX linears to try them out since I saw people provided good comment for them.

it's a sad news indeed.

this is why i appreciate local shops. i do visit and get stuff from them from time to time. i know it's not much, but i try support them whenever possible. (honestly, my stocks of parts are growing, but most of them are untouched)

i really hope all of them do well, so that there are always better places for new users to start their first step.

Nice recommendation. I'm looking for some loud linear switches to try out. Something with similar weight to the vertex V1 that are loud.
Those HSMX xinhai and lotus are of very different spring weights, are they significantly different?

I have used my CM Storm Trigger Z with Cherry MX brown for 10 years.

Now i wanna get another full size KB but with more tactile feel than MX brown switches .

Any recommendations ?

Hi i'm new to mechanical keyboards and looking to get a TKL or 75% size and needs to be quiet and ideally below RM300. Any recommendations?

What sets are you interested in? mind sharing?
