I grabbed a 110 pack of these from CannonKeys on the hope they are using fresh moulds. I double checked the GH post & there is no mention of if these are using a fresh mould or the V2 Tangie moulds. Either they should turn out good as there hasn’t been many runs of the Tangies so the moulds shouldn’t be worn to the point it affects the performance of the switch yet.
Although this does highlight something I’ve been noticing lately that nobody really talks about, how switches made closer to the beginning of a mould’s run are noticeably better than ones made late in the mould’s run. Retooled blacks are the what really tuned me into this. I was lucky enough to get two batches of retooled blacks that were made in the early runs of the fresh moulds. Those things are easily the smoothest Cherry switches I own, even over a batch of NOS vint blacks IMHO. Although I got a few MX blacks made more recently & they are noticeably worse than early retooled blacks I got. Much more scratchy, looser tops, slightly more stem wobble, just all around worse IMO. So IME, where in a mould’s lifespan the switches were is a very important consideration when buying switches. Well at least for people like us who are looking for the peak performance out of them & notices small differences in feel & sound.
