What did you get in the mail today? (Part 1)

Marshmallows from a generous keebtalker.

What a pleasant surprise; I wasn’t expecting a whole fresh bag.


Edit:

They look like you could just squish them.

I’ll definitely be lubing these - especially the spring - but I have to say they are pretty much exactly what I expected from the marketing.

The MP spring does give it a marshmallow-like resistance that starts light and builds as more pillowy aerated sugar - er, spring-coil condenses under the stem.


If anybody has 12-15 more of these they’d be willing to sell or trade, I’m interested.

Got some ‘94 Vintage Blacks, quite a few are scratchy and a few are smooth as butter. This is my first rodeo with vintage switches and it looks like they’re going to need a lot of love to get them ready to go in a build.

I think he was only referring to the sound, not the feel.

I need this.

Almost all of the ePBT sets that I’ve ordered have been shipped in bags (BoW R1, Grayscale R1, and Slate for example). I’ll let you know how my Spectrum kits purchased from Kbdfans on black friday are packaged when they bother to ship me my order (9 weeks is typical order processing time right? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:).

gb from a few months back. I think they do additional rounds from time to time.

That thing is next level :joy:

How do Vint. Browns turn out? My hunch is that you basically erode an already small bump :joy:

since BF? jeez. guess i’ll consider the Canadian additional charge as “expedited” shipping :joy:
has it just been that particular kit or are all their orders this delayed?

Pinoko switches I totally forgot I ordered… they feel kinda heavy just pressing them, might have to spring swap

the sound of those tho!

do they sound nice? I thought they were just another durock recolor and I thought durock was more smooth at the expense of sound. I don’t have anything with durock switches yet, i have these and some novelkeys silks sitting around.

i check switch videos because i like a certain sound with them so i check if anyone used them before

Who would ever want some plain old dye-subs?

Mega mail day!


Finally got GMK Godspeed (Armstrong base, novelties, & spacebar kit. I ordered a Columbia base when extras went up too LOL!) & Infinikey X Alexotos Aether (Base, addon, & red/black Ungodly alum. artisan) in. I also got another Evil box in for my artisans.

I’m not sure what do you mean by this? I’m in Europe (Germany) and I order from Drop their MT3 keycaps just fine. Fees are fairly minimal, at least compared to mechmarket inflated prices.
