I have a few of their PBT sets now and I must admit, there’s problems. I’m definitely way more hesitant to pick up anymore these days. I do want that Classic Hangul set though, but that’ll be ABS.

Personal preference, but I’m quite fond of shine and might consider picking a set up in the near future. I wonder what shiny PBT looks like…

Someone posted a rundown of PBT blends here not too long ago… anyway, it was very interesting, but the upshot is it’s possible they actually are a PBT/ABS blend to try to mitigate some of the difficulties shaping PBT. FWIW my PBT sets from NovelKeys, CannonKeys, and Omnitype feel fully PBT to me. I haven’t had any of them shine, but I haven’t been using them long enough to really tell, either. I would not be surprised if my Kinetic Labs set has some ABS, since they have a sharper sound and are very smooth, but I do really like them.

Picked up some JWICK T1 tactiles based on @Deadeye’s recommendation. I agree with his assessment that they’re shockingly good in stock form and particularly so at $0.24/switch. They have strong, smooth tactility, great consistency across the switches, and sound great.
I should also note that I ordered these from Poverty Keys at 2 AM on Saturday and they were at my house by dinner time on Monday. Great experience with this vendor!

Nice. Can you shows us more? I think I missed this.
With all the melting power connectors on the 4090 I’d say you made the right call!

IME, both unlubed, all but the most damaged SKCM/L ALPS switches feel much smoother to me than any MX switch. I don’t have much experience with SKFM & SKFL, but the little I do suggests that holds the same with them.

I realize it’s not a purist’s Topre board but it’s the first thing that’s gotten my Frog Mini off my desk since I built it so I think that’s saying something. I still can’t accurately describe the sound but I enjoy it all the same. It’d look lovely with a set of Ursa Minor or Major keycaps, though

It’s a little coffee table book with info about switches.
It’s pretty neat. They’ve made two so far.

That book is BEAUTIFUL!! 
I have some of those P3 stems as well as the UPE ones on order. Great idea by WS for those who want to really customize their own switches and not have to buy a bunch of switches they don’t want.

That board is so clean it almost looks like a render.
