They’re amazing and an excellent purchase if you like to hand lube your switches. No need to film, no need to open, pick whatever material you want. Saves a ton of time and those triple-stage springs are buttery smooth.

I just wish they came with a box stem. I threw some Gateron Silver stems in one and it had virtually no wobble, but the activation point was way higher than a normal silver.

Lattice Block Mount System by Mode:

We’re using Carbon’s DLS™ 3D Printing Process to develop an elastomeric lattice structure mounting block bringing you a novel mounting system so you can fine tune your typing experience to be as flexible or stiff as you want.

This is the same process used to create the Adidas Futurecraft 4D 3D-Printed mid-sole.

Our first lattice block mount utilizes Voronoi Lattice patterns to create an even, bouncy, and flexible typing experience. The solid block mount uses the same proprietary materials and printing process to produce a firmer, more responsive, yet still comfortable typing experience.

The whole system is secured by two fasteners that prevent the internal assembly from moving upwards but have no impact on downwards movement.

I know its trend, but people get to the point too late, I know the fact that every material that stiff while it has thermal reaction (epoxy) is not good for health while it cool down. But I dont know how it behave after cool down is it good for use. Epoxy was used for flooring but it found it way to other things that are more close to direct contact with person, gotta research on this more.
