Title: [IC] Gateron Mochi Switches
Post by: vndytran on Fri, 26 March 2021, 15:12:45
Hi everyone! With a collaboration with Bolsa from Bolsakeyboardsupply (https://bolsakeyboardsupply.com/), we would like to introduce Mochi Switches

(https://i.imgur.com/85u9lqd.jpg)

These switches will be recolored variants of the famous KS-3 line of Gateron Switches. We chose to opt for this because it provides the best bang for your buck in terms of the sound and feel of the switch. Also deciding to go with linears to help represent the soft and squishy strawberry mochi.

- POM Stem
- Nylon top and bottom
- Linear
- Stainless steel springs
- Actuation of 55 grams
- Bottom out at 63.5 grams
- Pre-travel distance of 2.00mm
- Total travel 4.00mm

This switch will be part of our GMK Daifuku set as well. You can check it out HERE! (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=111580.0)

If you can keep this anywhere near the price of the normal switch I will buy a couple hundred. Really great Idea for an IC

funny how these switches will probably double or tripple in price just because the shipping will cost me around 30 bucks and plus taxes (in my case 19%). If I don't see any EU vendor it will be a hard decision for me. It doesnt even matter if the price stays in the ks3 range of sub 0.4$ a switch. I planned to get 90 and with the shipping and taxes I'll have to pay 70-80 bucks. at that point I would rather have black inks since they would be cheaper per switch and will get delivered faster since they are in stock.
 
Really like the colours though

The colors are nice. Nothing much else to say, except hopefully the price isn’t terrible.

I just bought 90 of them to go with my Daifuku set, but is there a sound test of these that I can listen to?
