It really do be like that, once you go past a certain threshold it’s just diminishing returns.

And the funny thing is, as the tolerances get tighter, more friction is introduced, so a relatively “scratchy” switch like Gateron Yellow can feel nicer to type on than some “high-end” switch that is polished out of the factory and hand lubed.

I didn't lube these ones, I read most folks consider them good to go out of the bag. I have to agree with them. Really pleasant stock switches!

Here’s the thing, I had joined a buy that had an 8 month wait… I felt a little stupid for doing it, but I figured “okay, this set looks cool, I can wait 8 months”. It’s been almost two years. If the group buy said “hey, 23 month wait period” I wouldn’t have joined. A one month delay, sure I can handle that… two months? I’m getting a little irritated… 15 month delay? Are you kidding me? I have the fucking right to complain about this shit.

This is SIRIUS BUZINES ;)

Main differences that can definitely be felt by enthusiasts include sound, housing tolerances, smoothness, and weight, tho u can just spring swap ur fav spring into whatever linear sounds the best to you

How you finding the switches? Did you lube them? Just put one in my spacebar and am tempted to buy a full board worth

>Buys stuff with known long lead times

>Gets long lead times

>"Why did GMK do this to me"

Keycap GBs have huge lead times across the board for basically all manufacturers, that's a known fact. Don't get into GBs of you are not ready to wait. Buy in-stock, buy extras, buy mechmarket. Or stop complaining about something you knew about when you got into it.

Yes, GMK makes keycaps. I don’t know too much about their manufacturing process, yet it appears they are extremely slow at producing products ran through GBs sold through many different vendors.

& by ‘legitimate system’ all I meant was a process where products such as keycaps do not take over a year to manufacture. Maybe I don’t know too much about how these products are made, like GMK’s keycaps. Maybe it does take a year to make them🤷🏻‍♂️ This was also not to discredit GMK, lol. I want a few of their keycap sets myself👍🏼

Sounds like normal clack then. I mean, realistically, you can't really go wrong with cherry mx black (but I think if you don't get broken in ones, they feel pretty bad). Surprisingly, this has had a similar experience for me:

A lil' more oomph in it personally.

Steel plate (I might buy a pc or Pom plate), this is the sound that really got my attention though https://youtu.be/qfa8eO0dnGU

so funny the heat this is making, could start too cook a steak if this keeps going on ahah

>Why not just buy extras?

Extras have only recently started being priced decently at SOME vendors. Extras pricing for a lot of sets earlier to mid this year was always at $185+, and now some vendors they are finally starting to run a little lower. This is one of the reasons some people were staying away from extras and waiting on sales etc on these higher priced sets. And then there are a few vendors where extras prices are just a bit insane IMO

Extras also only recently have been more available due to vendors starting to purchase enough to not have extras sales sell out within a minute or two

Huh? There are linear, tactile, and clicky alps. Each of which are fantastic. Better yet, you can swap each leaf out without desoldering, enabling you to change your switch type in an hour just with a toothpick and a keycap puller.

Sorry just curious, do you make a profit off that? If so is it substantial?

Not every designer reruns or will rerun their sets unfortunately.

I would assume they are talking about the vendors that the GBs are ran through

relatable

Color matching STILL hasn’t been completed. Took like 6 months for the latest round of samples to come in and they still weren’t good apparently. Not that the designer really even told the community their thoughts on the latest round.

Yup, sitting here waiting on Dreamscape. Absolute shit show so far lol

Black Friday sales

I like putting them together with a theme in mind. Selling them allows me to do more. They weren't purchased at the same time

Do you wanna give a sound reference? That'd probably help.

Also, regarding the Keychron v3, what plate does it come with? I'm failing to remember.

What was the purpose of buying 3 to sell 2 of them?

Although I never tried other switches because im broke asf and don't see it necessary for me, I think I would have the same conclusion too and think the difference is the sound(not on cheap boards but on more expensive or 'complex' bodies like gaskets, foam, and etc,.)

Wow, nice caps!
