Got a link to that cable? Love it.

Literally what I want to do to mine. 😂

Definitely you should. Even stock with the flimsy plastic case, it didn't sound too bad at all. It takes a couple months to get it, but it was worth the wait.

Looks sick I might do one of those because I play valorant and have heard that it is super fast.

Yeah, I mean its $.22 per switch at that price. While there maybe switches you can get that I wouldn't use on a board even if they were free. For the most part there isn't a real negative throwing a $20 bill on some random switches. I did get last year a 110 pack of V2 Black Inks so there is an opportunity for a really good selection, its not the near 0 it sometime is implied. Its as much an marketing move (sell some switches at a loss to put the business in peoples head), as an inventory clear. It was pretty obvious by how they shipped and packaged them last year they actually purchased switches for the event.

This isn't Idobao pretending they are shipping keyboards and even when they snuck in a keyboard (Hipyo) it was their smallest keyboard (40%).

Ha! Yeah I ordered on the 18th as well.

I dont have the most experience with other switches, but u have box cj’s and really like them. Not rattly, a little bit of clack, but sound pretty muted in my foam-packed board. Also feel really smooth w/o lube.

Im either really inexperienced or you somehow got 10 duds (or maybe it’s just the board).

They are just low end switches, I think with your switches they are somewhat scratchy and have some spring/leaf ping. The price/value is ok not good or great, and you didn't get to choose. I am sure it would be fine for most people especially if they are new, but if you have been using some of the better switches (which are not that much more money) you probably would not want this. They would be good if lubed but it's probably not worth your time on a low end switch.

I think people were hoping to get something at least slightly unique or interesting but it's just a basic below average switch which is exactly what I was expecting given this price and my belief that this mystery box is just a vehicle to dump stale inventory. I don't agree with the concept of a mystery box on a fundamental level. The whole point of getting a custom board, and either paying more for hotswap or taking the time and equipment to solder, is that you can customize it to your exact preference and there are so many options, something for everyone. If you just mystery box a basic low end switch, what was the point of all this, you could have just gotten a cheaper prebuilt keyboard.

Interesting, I didn't even know Box CJ's were a thing before this. Every good thing I've heard about CJs were talking about the regular version, but it seems like you might have had a faulty batch. Try talking to the vendor that you bought them from, or maybe even emailing Gateron directly

The TTC Browns I got actually feel pretty nice. There's a good long spring in them

yeah, i just said why the hell not lmao

Seems really bad, I got 3 just for fun though lol

still waiting on mine😭 hope i can identify them and they’re not dogshit also

Gorgeous shine, I bet it feels very nice to type on!

Just because the ones they have in stock for this mystery drop are mostly probably manufacturer extra stock, which will be some of the less popular or cheaper switches they made extra of. It’s less likely that you get “good” switches, although that’s more subjective

If they were more popular switches or “higher quality,” then they probably wouldn’t sell them all for this price/ they would just list them on the site and people would buy them full price anyway. I’m sure they’ll mix in a few nicer sets, but not anywhere near half even will be Creams or Black Inks V2, etc.

I think for your sister it’s fine, and for the price almost any switch is decent if the user isn’t going to mind or just wants another feel than what they already have

i got ttc gold browns!

Nice work. But you have the incorrect bottom-out force for Cherry MX Clears. Per Novelkeys, it's 85g; per switches.mx, it's 95g. The force curve on Cherry's website suggests that switches.mx is correct.

Looking at the product description, I don't think they have actually written anywhere that there is a chance of getting something good at all, everyone could even just get this exact same switch.

I’ve got to know, when did you and everyone else who received these Gateron Milky Black switches make the purchase?

I made my purchase on feb.18th!

I’m guessing y’all might have purchased either on the same day or right after, i’m guessing the time window might be a small one

Definitely, I'm hopeful! They are ceramic though, I've seen the spacebar was an issue at one time, but I think they may have worked that out by now.

I don’t think any keycap set is too heavy to mess up the actuation. Unless you’re using a metal keycap

I swapped the PCB to a Blade 60 using a burger mount. Lubed all the switches, it sounds and feels fantastic. I got some white wooting keycaps while I wait for my cerakeys. I am a little worried they might be too heavy and mess with the actuation but we'll see. Might have to get a GMK set if that doesn't work out. Let me know if you have any questions. Wanted to share.

Building a budget board for my sister so figured the mystery would be fun as she doesn’t have a switch preference. I’m fairly new to the hobby tho, why is everyone saying the selection of switches aren’t the best?

Im so jealous of your keycaps. They are so pretty!

Thanks for the info!
