Got GMK WoB Red Cyrillic in from SpaceCables & another Pine Blank from Wheat in today! The Pine Blank is one of my favorites so far! The colorway is called Stormy Roots & Wheat did an awesome job with the resin drawing on these! Then I have to put WoB RC on a board yet to make 100% sure, but the caps look to be much better QCed than the Zooted set I got. Hopefully the sets that ended up with twisted 1.5u mods was just a hiccup from GMK & not representative of what they’re calling good nowadays like I was worried they were.

Couldn’t get my hands on a GMK Nines set and nothin good on mechmarket, so I jumped on SW Graphite when it came out. Crazy fast shipping from Korea, and the quality of the doubleshot pbt is actually superb. Super excited.

Nice grab! Yeah this set & the other SW set @Neprawda posted the other day looked really good. The prices on them are damn good too. Is this set straight doubleshot PBT or doubleshot PBT/ABS blend like other SW sets are advertised as? Also let us know how the sound is once you get a chance to try them on a board.
Can’t comment on material, I had thought it was straight PBT. Looks thick and just like @Neprawda 's pictures (just different colors).
Not sure when I’ll get around to actually mounting them, but I’ll post if someone else doesn’t beat me to it

I’m not sure everyone is familiar with Apos. Their main focus is audio stuff but are expanding to mechanical keyboards, even if that part is a bit hidden on their site at the moment.
Anyway, they sent me: a high profile Whitefox Eclipse, Bob Ross deskmat :D, and KDS Splatter keycap set (dye-sub).
I’m going to review the screwless Eclipse with magnetic gasket-mounted design. It’s a hefty slab of aluminum, weighing 2.4kg.

There is no text or sound.
I’ll write here.
In sound they are closer to abs, plus they are light, especially Spacebar, when compared with PBT.

Today the taobao m0110 case that @ventamora first found arrived at the superbuy warehouse and i got some pics! I’m surprised it came with a plate and some switches and even looks like one has a pcb. not sure if the other one has one behind the black foam sheet or not. we’ll see when it arrives. not bad for 65$ for both and 35$ shipping. they both weight 3.4kg together, so I took the cheapest ocean ship that takes 20 to 38 days

Small mailday.
- Flaming Skull Succubus. Silent linears manufactured by Huano with, PC top, PA66 nylon bottom and POM stem. The stem is interesting, it’s using 2 rounded silicone tubes in the stem rails, but with 2 very tiny metal clips to prevent… buckling of the tubes? or something? It looks like a different dampening method than their other silents like the J&J switches.
- CC Sakura. Manufactured by LCET, or Xunlei since they had to change their Name, as far as i can tell. At least the molds match my LCET strawberry very, very well. They have LY stem, LY top and “PA66 + 30% fiber” bottom. It feels like there is a tiny bit of scratch, or maybe that’s just the spring, but otherwise not bad. minimal stem wobble and no housing wobble. the winglatch is also a lot easier to open than something like outemu. LY seems to be quite loud i’ve noticed.

Those keycaps are stunningly eyecatching but there’s nothing about them that looks pink. Can someone explain for my benefit?
That sucks big time

The legends are Pink, it is a very light shade though. I thought they were white till I looked on Swagkeys page for the set.

I had a small brush. It is convenient to have keycaps or stabilizer separately.
But I wanted a big one, the whole keyboard at once)

- Total travel: 4mm

I made a video of pressing in my hands. And pressing one switch on the keyboard.
The latest switches from Wuque were very controversial products that always had some unpleasant feature.
So I bought only one pack for 35. Purely a test collection so as not to waste money on their marriage again.
But the switch seemed to be good. I ordered more so that I could do assemblies fully on the keyboard.
It has a nice 4mm travel. This is rare now. It’s already lubricated and not bad at all. The tactile hump of the cone is similar to that of the cinnamon cherry but is more pronounced and strong. But since the spring is light and short, the pressure is also light.
I made a link to new stabilizers. And a store where to buy them.
But it turns out that a large manufacturer at this time, without announcements and advertising, did the same thing)))))
And put it up for sale. I bought.
I also bought it through the link from Fox, but they are still traveling for a long time because of the Chinese New Year.

The dampening/silencing feels fine. It’s not too soft but also not really firm. Really nice for extremely stiff boards like integrated-plate mount, though. They are decently smooth too, but something is weird with their springs. There is a small rattling noise when you gently touch the stem and wobble it around.
If you have the time would love a picture of of unique stem dampening mechanism. i’m thinking about buying but i can’t find any drawing or render about that fancy rounded silicon dampening with metal clip.
found a taobao listing with i think about 20-30 ish old school switch to test and have fun with some alps,space invaders, etc. should arrive soon in the mail

I think the 3rd party manufacturer they are using for the silenced stems is the same as some KTT and Jerrzi, so it’s not unique to these switches, but it’s a weird mechanism.
And i also have 2 Sets of vintage switches from this seller. One thing to note : he sends them at random. he doesn’t send exactly what is shown there. Just whatever he has in stock and he just grabs a couple handful of them.
