Got my batch of KS-3 Gat yellows from Kinetic Labs & a bunch of springs from TX in today. On a quick comparison loose the regular KS-3s seem every so slightly smoother than KS-8 or milky/milky top KS-3s, but they all sound virtually identical to each other? I was thinking the milky & opaque tops would be made from a different plastic than the transparent tops, but it appears not. Weird, I was hoping for a slightly deeper sounding yellow. Still the same great switch though.

I bought a UTD because I think it looks pretty. Terribly sorry if it comes across as supporting fakes, but I just wanted something that was silver, tkl, and looks absolutely sweet

Well it didn’t come in the mail. I picked up from local Target. If anyone is looking for one, they seem to be the most reliable way to get it. You can only get a Xbox (or PS5) by ordering for local pickup through their website. I think it stops scalpers and bots pretty well. I checked the website at 8am MT.

Got some of these spicy mustard bois in yesterday as well and they’re pretty nice! I think I’m liking Holy Bobas more but they’re a great rounder thocky tactile imo

i have some silent u4 boba tactiles sitting in a ziploc bag, mind telling me how to create holy bobas? the idea of a frankenswitch sounds cool.

You just need to swap the stock U4 stems out for Halo True or clear stems to make Holy Bobas. The spring can remain the stock one or be changed out for your preference.

Wait are UTD cases fake somehow?
Geez that’s such a cool set.
They’re clones of the OTD 360c cases
So far I’m thinking the same.
Sound-wise, Thocks are probably the most unique stock tactile on the market right now. They do sound very similar to Holy Bobas, if a bit less aggressive on the clack - I’m a fan.
They also seem to enjoy a little more baseline smoothness / less leaf scratch vs the Holy version - I’m currently using mine dry to get a feel for them before I do any tuning.
For me though, I do prefer the sharper, more aggressive bump at the cost of that baseline smoothness - like the silent U4 stems, these have a bump that’s a little too wide for my preference.

Fantastic set !
Wow my head just read it as OTD.
That’s pretty devious!
