Great choices. I love my AN-C PCB build. It’s so nice that it comes with VIA out of the box. And Serika is very nice in person. I just got the Alphas recently and am loving the MT3 profile to type on
Got a cyan Pain cap in from BewCaps & a Flamethrower Snorclax in from Clack City caps. Although by far the start of my mailday was the Leopold Star switches (linear 62g) I got in! Bought a batch of 65 for $38 shipped of r/mm just toi try them out & man did they blow me away comparing them to other linear switches. They are easily Alpaca/Tangie level of smooth, the housings fit together much tighter than JWK/Durock switches, & the stock spring is extremely good no ping whatsoever from it & it’s gold plated. The letdowns on them are they do have a good bit of stem wobble in both directions & they are only plate mount AFAIK. I wish i could find more info on them, but I couldn’t find anything online using multiple search terms & couldn’t even find a Aliexpress listing for them! All I can say is if you get them for around $0.60 a switch they are well worth it! I’ll report back when I get more info on them as I want to grab a couple hundred of them just to have if I can find where to buy.
TLDR: Got some artisans in today & got some of the new Leopold Start switches (linear 62g) in which are much much better than I thought they’d be. Well worth checking out!

Hmm, never heard of these 
Oh shit!!
Btw, these signature plastics keycaps are kind of insane! Super great quality. Whoa, they seem much more substantial than other SA caps. The only other ones I’ve ever gotten from them were SA Nuclear. Nice

This is Ice Caps or whatever right? I had that set for a minute and I thought they were really incredible quality. I just wasn’t a fan of the SA profile. I thought I would be after using MT3 for a few years but there was something about it I just couldn’t get over.

Another addition on my switch journey. I did not think I would ever like a linear switch, but these may convert me.

What are they?
Oh geeze haha, I thought I put it at the beginning, Silent Alpacas.
Sorry I didn’t get to answer your question, I worked 6 days this week & passed out shortly after I posted that. Awesome find on the Taobao link, I was curious where to get more! Just woke up at 3am & can’t fall back asleep so I’m starting to lube my batch of these for my Sirius right now. I’ll let you know how they feel after lube & in board so you can get a better ideal of how they perform before ordering some. Although I have a feeling these will be switches I highly recommend. If they can tighten up the stem/slider wobble in future batches, Leopold or whoever manufactures these will have a homerun of a switch IMHO!

Yup. Plastic used by SP is noticeably heavier and more satisfying.

That’s it always annoys me when people on /r/mk are like “abs is trash!!!1! pbt is the only good plastic” when all abs is not created equal.
