It’s doubly nice to see when not only ordinary customers, buyers, write what came in the mail. But also shops like you.)

I agree with your views on the limitations of CAP Browns.
If you like having a bump greater than MX Brown but lesser than CAP Brown, you might also want to try Zealio V1. [They are on sale rn]
The stock 62 G springs are a little heavier than necessary, as they are intended to reduce bottom-out. I find you can get away with 60 G 14mm TX, which is closer to the 58.5 G you like with the Pewters. The Zealio V1 are better at post-travel than the CAP Browns.

Yup, I did indeed see them. The housing where the wire goes it seems to be full rubber.
First I’m hearing of the Iceberg Silent Rose tactiles. Any thoughts on how they compare to other silent tactiles (particularly Zilent v2 if you’re familiar with those)?
Ahoy! I’ve got some info for you in the form of an update to my old Informal Silent Switch Comparison post.

I want to settle down with pewter for now - I like zeal switches in the past but they are expensive and still need lubes and spring swap. I am more interested in getting a good light tactile silent switches for work - right now, I am using stock silent gat brown haha

Most of them are ANSI. ISO ones are few and far between in my experience.

Not keyboard related, but I got the Steady Craftin enamel pin I bought from The Crafsman. Also some sweet extras.

So my brother-in-law, brother and nephew are all interested in the different switches as well, so we get a bigger bang for the buck. I will be maintaining a lending library of switches for a while as we zero in on what everyone prefers for different circumstances. I like to really live with something new for a while before I decide if it isn’t for me. I figure I can always resell any switch sets which we decide definitively no one likes.

Saw them here first. It looks soo beautiful and gorgeous.
I guess the fluorescent effect will look much more impressive at night.

What’s the good word sir? The buzz around these and their new stem mold is interesting.

Not in the mail, but at work of all places! The guy I’m rebuilding a deck for right now is selling some of his mining rig off. He let me inspect the room he has everything setup in, showed me that card was never OCed or BIOS flashed for mining, was able to show me that his setup ran around 74C maximum, usually around 63C, & this card has only been mining for like 4 months. So this thing is probably in better shape than if someone gamed on it for the same amount of time! It is barely even dusty! $800 with the OG receipt so I can have the warranty transferred to me. I jumped on that deal so quick LOL! Now time for a new mobo & CPU next, think I’m gonna give Ryzen a shot this time around…

Lavender KBD67L case, I68 Aurora R2 in clear with the thin PCB and no blue teeth
Stein just hangin’ out to obscure my super secret base of operations
Edit:
Oh hey I totally forgot about these.
They’re supposed to be factory dry - and if that’s the case, they feel more smooth than any dry switch has a right to…
More details at some point, of course. 
It’s “woo-chay”
