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 oneās?

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

Lil tyke switches. I got some dry yellows a while ago but I donāt think I ever even opened the bag, these are the first JWK switches Iāve played around with, they definitely feel very smooth

Nice. Iāve been wondering if those JWK variants use new molds. Alpacas from freshly-retooled molds are incredibly smooth.
Honestly, Iād 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 doesnāt deteriorate. Because thatās about the only thing going for them right now.
They donāt have good sound nor do they have good top housing tolerance 
Not saying theyāre bad, only saying what I think of them.

Thatās certainly the case. Most people donāt 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 theyāre great switches for modifying. I also think itās a waste to use āheavyā or thick and waxy lubes with Durocks. Itās best to retain the āskatingā feel, and Iām not sure what lubes are out there that resemble the factory.

They use an oil for their factory lubing AFAIK so Iād 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. Itās the pole in the middle thatās not straight. Iām not sure if the whole thing is curved or just at the wrong angle. But thatās 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 doesnāt on the new version

Looks like a mess born out of a marriage between a creative individual without much knowledge in manufacturing f#$kups and a manufacturer who just donāt give a f#$k about quality control.

I noticed that to, I gave them a little push and they do sit straight now, but very wobble IMO.
The V2s look markedly different in coloring (I still havenāt bothered opening my pack of V2s), wondering if they changed the ratio of UHMWPE to whatever other plastic theyāre using (I highly doubt these are 100% UHMWPE as expensive as it is, plus AFAIK all other UHMWPE products made for the MKB realm have been mixes as it makes it much easier to mold)? More PE would most likely cause a good bit more shrinkage & warpingā¦
