As I’ve mentioned in the review. The scatchiness/textured part is more like 1/3 last of the travel distance where the POM meets PC in the stem, do you think so? I will try to inspect it further when I get my batch of 90 of them, since I heavily lubed the only one I have in hand.
Regarding TTC Tiger switch, it’s currently priced at 1.5$ ea (normal version), or 3.5$ ea (OG/collectible version), which is way higher than this switch. In term of appearance, TTC Heart has an advatange of a more “neutral” colorway (obviously?), while TTC Tiger has a orange opaque color and that tiger head, it’s more biased. I personally hate that colorway and that tiger logo actually.
I hope they sell the unassembled version of these switches so we can assemble it like we LEGOing.
