I'm not sure if they get restocked often but if you search "moyu queen switches" you can probably find a store with them in stock.

I'd say an 8 or 9 for me, but everyone has different preferences

Most of the full split boards I've looked at were ortholinear and I haven't had the courage to make that leap yet. I've seen one or two split full size boards but they look too big.

That’s nice Are they going to be In-stock any time soon? Or are they going to go through an extra GB wave? I wanna try some more deep linears and if these are one of those then I would like to see details!

From 1 to 10 how’d you rate ‘em?

Thanks! I like the queen's a lot, they have a really long spring which makes them a little unique compared to all the other jwk. They are one of the few switches I've bought a second set of.

Yes I did, at the time it was the only way to get them and I didn't know if I'd like them but they turned out to be some of my favorite switches.

This sucks... Hope you can somehow find joy with that keeb. Maybe it'll get better after some modding.

That's the thing with GBs that takes over a year. I personally wouldn't want to wait more than 8 months for a keeb GB and generally avoid GMK GBs. I'm not against certain brands/manufacturer, but I highly doubt that I enjoy purchases that arrives after 1+ year. By the time it arrives, my expectations are either too high or I simply moved on and don't care about it anymore.

good on you. but i've seen people who say there's always that one instance where they could really use that numpad for inputting numbers for some gov doc or spreadsheet that they had to fill in, since the number row is such a painful experience.

Wait you waited for a switch group buy? Not to be disrespectful Love the red metal engine start button keycap

But why’d you put yourself in the pain of waiting for a switch group buy? Are the switches really worth it?

the word 'efficiency' was mentioned. successful people focus heavily on efficiency and streamlining. i don't see how that tiny, tiny change in desk space and "improved ergonomics" somehow makes you a better worker in the grand scheme of things. because if it did, corporations and companies would be the first to implement that system into their workspace. it doesn't happen. but if it makes you feel that it does, then good on you.

i've been in this hobby for a while, and people seem to have such a hard time admitting that a lot of this hobby revolves around pretentiousness and aesthetics. nothing wrong with it, but they try to push this narrative that it's somehow "better" and then go on to buy a numpad keyboard on the side. if your workflow doesn't rely on using numpads, then good for you.
