Were files provided on the HMKB discord for these or are they a 3rd party design (or yours.for that matter)? Were they an in stock item or a custom job? Also, who did the printing? *end question barrage

I got some droppings in the mail today
By just looking through the plastic mine does not seem to be crooked, but can it be so? Is there anyone that got good one’s?

I think there are people who got good ones, but the issue is many people receiving bags with 10%+ of the stems having issues

EPBT x GOK BoW, Krytox 205g0, Tribosys 3204, Deskeys Switch Films, and 70 Alpacas just arrived! Can’t wait to get home and lube them! Will post some pictures once I get them.

Lil tyke switches. I got some dry yellows a while ago but I don’t think I ever even opened the bag, these are the first JWK switches I’ve played around with, they definitely feel very smooth

Nice. I’ve been wondering if those JWK variants use new molds. Alpacas from freshly-retooled molds are incredibly smooth.
Honestly, I’d pay a small premium to buy JWK linears that are guaranteed to be from new molds. I had some of the earliest Alpacas, and it makes a difference.

JWK will definitely retool their molds so that the smoothness doesn’t deteriorate. Because that’s about the only thing going for them right now.
They don’t have good sound nor do they have good top housing tolerance 
Not saying they’re bad, only saying what I think of them.

That’s certainly the case. Most people don’t use stock JWK.
The smoothness of stock JWK was a revelation to me, after coming from MX Red and even Gateron Yellow. But even I could tell that the sound was plasticy and tinny, and the upstroke was bad.
So they’re great switches for modifying. I also think it’s a waste to use ‘heavy’ or thick and waxy lubes with Durocks. It’s best to retain the ‘skating’ feel, and I’m not sure what lubes are out there that resemble the factory.

They use an oil for their factory lubing AFAIK so I’d try Krytox GPL 105 or 106 to retain the skating feel & not go into the buttery feel territory.

Decided to open a bag. They are definitely made wrong. It’s the pole in the middle that’s not straight. I’m not sure if the whole thing is curved or just at the wrong angle. But that’s the issue. Can easily see it when you put it next to V1 stems.
See how the pole on the left, v2 stem tilts upward
Pole should line up with side rails. But you can see it doesn’t on the new version
