From my testing, the “thin” sound is due to the top. Next to an Ink, the bottom out sound is similar, but the top out is not. I bought some to source cheaper and refined Inks (CJ improvements with an Ink bottom housing), and I bet once the top housing is lubed to my liking they will be an Ink with more character. I know they are advertised as being lubed enough to use stock, but I haven’t found a prelubed switch yet that fits the bill (no one lubes the top housing for instance – a must for me).
On a side note, the advertised spring weight seems way off. In fact when doing the stem to stem press test against other switches, they seem identical to the springs in the Gateron X’s (yellow). Every switch that was 67g bottomed out the Oil’s before they fully depressed. This includes the “60g” CJ switches (which weighting is also BS as they are easily 65 - 67g springs and depress Gat Yellows in this test). Gateron is doing something weird with the reported weights with their new switches. I would love to see some testing with real equipment to know for sure.
A lot of people got a bunch of Sony FF cameras to flip after the sale, I just went with the actual camera I wanted in the event that if I ordered too much stuff they would cancel it. I believe I also got the 23mm f2 for $50 as well.
Found the perfect sticker for my TTC Heart switches; came with that Aesop Rock record I posted the other day in the music thread, based on the art style from his video for The Gates.
Such a fun set, you don’t see it much.
no judgement. It is quite grape-like.
