I love the Oil Kings, nice sound signature, pre-lubed, silky smooth. I've never had an issue with them at fitment, though I did have one yesterday that just wouldn't go in. I don't think you'll have troubles with them at all. Managed to do the entire board with 0 bent pins, so that's something!

That's a pretty fair point. I decided to go with GMK for a few reasons:

  • ePBT is currently not taking new sets
  • MW has been facing a lot of criticism
  • Keykobo and KBM are new manu that do not have a lot proven for themselves, so I am very cautious of approaching them.
  • Despite their lead times, I have always felt confident in GMK's quality in comparison to other manu. Additionally, with the recent progress of shipped sets and new machinery for sorting I feel more comfortable with GMK at the moment. I know that GMK Andy's and GMK's words on finishing sets are....well just words, but we'll just have to see as time progress.

Appreciate the feedback regardless!
