Reply to comment by 808s-n-KRounds in Novelkeys mystery switch jackpot? by elMightyBush

Yes I made the same mistake as others. When you open up an unlabeled box with deep black Gateron switches it’s easy to make the oil king mistake. I didn’t know what the discernible differences were until shortly after my post. Found there is a little circular dimple on the KS3 not on the oils. Also I couldn’t find any info on google mentioning the differences you provided. Not saying it’s not true just wasn’t able to find that info.

Reply to accidentally turned one of my tactiles into a linear. by ciclicles

This doesn't work on MX switches as the leafspring does the actuation.

But it does work on Alps switches and optical switches like the flaretech ones used by Wooting in their early keyboards. My wooting one used to be chicky, but I made it linear. It's very wobbly but very smooth.
