Nice, sharper (not Zealios’ sharpness) high short bump; very much a silenced T1
Fairly low stem wobble
Housing fitment is good initially but there is significant play after opening. Filming helps clean that up almost entirely.
Really impressive silencing without mushiness. Seriously, if I hold a lubed and filmed one at arm’s length it is almost silent. EXCEPT…
Slight leaf sound that is mostly noticeable due to the impressive silencing. Filming does not completely help mitigate this.
Overall I think they’re a really impressive silenced tactile, but I’d love to see a version of this that got to explore JWK’s nonstandard housing materials; I think a full-nylon or POM version of this switch could be really nice (and very competitive with U4s as an alternative to their longer rounder tactility), especially if JWK could get its leaf sounds under control.
I got some blue and purple deskey domes for my FC660c. Tried the blues out for today. Very light, but I think I like them. We’ll see. Giving them a few days before I try the purple.
Actually just ordered this, so probably won’t have it till the end of next. Although I am so excited with the purchase I had to tell you guys & figured this would be the place to do so. Was e-bay searching for vintage KBS & came across this bad boy.
A NOS Cherry G80-1800HEU with Cherry Clears in it & OG doubleshot I believe! According to the seller the board has only been out of the box to take pictured & from the looks of it they are telling the truth. Cost me $237 total after shipping & taxes, but for a NOS board like this I think it was money well spent!
Thanks! Just gonna keep it stock as a showpiece since it’s not everyday you run across one of these NOS! I might open the switches, swap the springs out to make the clears ergo clears, & lube the switches. Since they are so easy to get open without desoldering on these plateless Cherry boards. Although that would be the extent of modding I’ll do to it.
Thanks! Yeah when I seen it NOS stock I jumped right on it. One of the few times I used the buy it now button on ebay LOL! Definitely get some decent pics of it for you guys to see when I get it in!
What weight did you get & was yours factory lubed with a thick grease? I got the 62g ones from ThoccKeys & they are overlubed with a grease to the point they feel sluggish to me. I think they’ll be fine once cleaned & properly lubed, but I am still grasping to see what the hype behind these are. Or maybe I just got a bunk batch?
