Thank you! Yes, the purple is cute. I’m actually matching the legend color with the Azur kara. I will post a pic when I put them together.

Picked up some NK_ Sherbets as someone was selling them for $0.2/switch shipped.
Been itching to try out clicky switches, shall see how they perform :slight_smile:

What do you think about them? how to they compare to other linear switches?


Got a pack of 90 Gateron Clear springs in from @fatalruin who hooked me up with them (thanks again man!). Been really digging lighter & lighter linears recently, so figured these would be a great way to try such a light weighting before buying any aftermarket springs in the same range. I’m worried they’ll be just a little too light for me as I did have a Tada68 with Gat clears way back. Although that was when I was still in my “heavy tactile best” phase, LOL!

MT3 Elven - the boxes (pictured) are really cool.

The modifier green is slightly darker than renders and the caps are a bit more beige as well. Still looks great.

I’d say it looks better than the renders, the renders felt a bit off to me.

The problem is that even if you like them, there isn’t any aftermarket springs that are exactly like them? IIRC, they bottom out at 40g and are 15mm long.

This is true, I wonder if TX has a long 40g? That should be comparable.

Your collection is awesome just reading the labels is fun!

Perhaps keyring labels could work on the zippers?

They do
Edit: Actually they don’t. Sprit supreme has 40g but is 14mm long. That maybe the closest you can get.

I haven’t touched my gat clear since I tried them the first night. Stock clear definitely need to be lubed lol

I love these icons so much. Such a fun set. I also enjoy the texture of G20. I don’t know that it’s best-in-class for typing or anything, but I don’t struggle with it too much.

I was so excited to get my extension kit after all of these years so I could put Semiotic on some boards (since most of my keyboards now have 7u spacebars, stepped caps and split right shifts). I didn’t even bother to notice that there is no stepped G20 cap. RIP. Also, either the newer caps are a lot whiter, or my caps have significantly yellowed, or both.

New on the right


Maybe I’ll sell my old set at a discount and pick up a new base

Good idea. Looks like they revised their molds a bit. Sucks though you have to wait to put them on a board!

First delivery to my new hoose! Today’s goodies are from ELBOARD:

  • TTC Heart switches b/c they’re novel and funky

  • Gateron Vermillion Bird switches because every now and then I buy switches to go with a sticker and not the other way around (and I also heard they’re not bad)

  • Bonus stickers! Just in time for the new plastic organizers I got this week…

@insolentpotato Sent me some sauce. Also got the last piece to my Evija puzzle (still debating on hasu vs yang, though).
