What can I compare the weight to? Is it a little heavier or lighter than a Gateron Black switch?

May I ask what makes the switch stand out from the bunch? Gold spring and 67g, would it just be a newer and luxurious vintage black?

It being new/different doesn't preclude it also being open.

I would like to hear your reasons for why creating new software is a good idea.

What are you offering that QMK/TMK, KLL, BMC are not offering?
Why would your software be better and why should we use it?
What was missing in QMK/TKL, KLL, BMC? Was it documentation?
What was the reason why you didn't go any of the more established routes?
Is it going to open sourced?
How many other keyboards can use your software?

Super stoked to see more projects from you!

Kinda odd that your switches have a black bottom & can't take advantage of the RGB in your PCB. Where's the synergy?

Will be following along, even if I'm not a linear or TKL guy!

The question is why you need a brand new software/firmware for your PCB. There is already a good one called QMK and it is also open source. Which means it can be supported by community.
By introducing another firmware/software you make people dependent on you which is called vendor lock. It is always bad because only you can fix bugs/add features. If you decide to abandon your software your hardware is no more than a piece of junk. Why not using/improving QMK instead? Why reinvent a wheel?

I can't imagine why they didn't use a stack that doesn't have much in the way of per-key RGB features for the basis of their per-key RGB TKL PCB. Real head-scratcher there...

I'm not bashing QMK by any stretch, heck I'm halfway through the designing of my own QMK-powered PCB, it's just that different makers will have different priorities that inform different choices. Not every PCB designer is gonna want to spend endless hours extending the QMK spec to support the feature, especially if they're more familiar with other starting points/branches.

And once again, just because they may not have forked QMK as a starting point doesn't mean it's inherently closed & locked in. And even if the software is locked in & cruddy doesn't mean you have to use it. Port QMK to it, just like what's been done with the ps2avrGB boards. A $75 per-key-RGB TKL PCB is a gift to the community, even with less-than ideal software/firmware.

Doesn't KLL have good RGB support?

In any case, as long as they open-source both the PCB design and whatever new firmware they write, that would be good enough for me.

KLL does have good RGB support, but I believe that it's got really limited hardware support that's actually built around/for a chip that's no longer readily available, necessitating a port to a different ARM chip, as per here.

The QMK Proton-C & the ARM chip it's based on will open up the possibility for a lot of neat hardware, but it's not quite ready yet. Soon, though.

Weight, price, aesthetic factor?

I imagine these will be another good option for people who don't want to buy several batches of vintage blacks to get consistent results, as well as for people who can't stomach the cost of tealios.

there's no word on pricing for the switches yet, but this is bang on

hunting for good vints is a PITA, although retooled blacks are pretty readily available through arrow.com at this point

but those don't have a cool orange stem

not sure if this is mentioned, but the bottom housing doesn't look like it supports SMD RGB leds the best. Looks like a normal bottom that supports 4 pin RGB leds.

For PCB questions.
1,LDN have faster CPU. We use STM32F103. 72M frequency. More faster and Expandable. Key scan frequency:500hz(of course we can 1000hz but no need). We use another programme method and believe it can be more powerful. Control software is easy to learn to use. And we will use more advanced STM controllor to make it better.
2,Alough we wont open sourse,but we will open API.
3,We will have a video to show the light mode. It can be customized by our software.Instructions will released when GB open.
4,We will keep updating LDN and fix the bug.If you have any question using our PCB you can PM me here or send an email, We will answer all the questions regrading our product.
5,We dont think other PCB is bad, we just want to create a new PCB and work on it.
6,Instead of standing on the shoulders of giants, we want to be giants.

P.S we will do both B.87 and A.87 Size.

For Switch questions.
1,It's not just change of colour,it also smooth.
2,Since we started this project really early so we didnt use transparent bottom. We may do it later to fit our RGB Pcb.

Excited to get in on a board's worth of switches. Any chance we could get an idea when they'll go live tomorrow?

I don't think that's how this works my guy. It's unfair and selfish to ask a GB runner to PM just you when this goes on sale. It'd be better if they could message everyone but since that's terribly inefficient it's best to just leave everyone on an equal playing field with no notification PM.

This is also an IC for the PCB, which hasn't gone into GB yet. Not sure if you knew or not but just mentioning it. Up to you whether this stays open or it gets locked and a separate IC is made for the PCB while a GB is made for the switches.

Nah the switches are definitely a GB. Imo it makes more sense to make a GB thread for the switches and then leave this open for the PCB IC. Instead of locking this and making a GB for the switches and a new IC for the PCB.

Up to the Mod but just pointed it out since he might have missed the PCB IC.

Yes I'd rather have two seperate threads, to clear the confusion. I'm keeping this open for now, but I'm strongly advising the OP to make a GB thread for the switches, or I have to remove the link. When GB thread is made, just PM me or report the thread so I can approve it faster  :thumb:

Got mine in yesterday. Wasn't able to give them a really thorough try yet because I don't have time to lube and build another board again right now, but I put one lubed switch on the escape of my 910 and I gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised.
Keep in mind this is still only a single switch, but it's right next to a vintage black which usually makes other switches look bad in comparison.... Well not this time.
I'm actually shocked by how little wobble it has and how good it sounds (please don't change the housings in the groupbuy, they are perfect like this), which is usually a big problem with gateron made switches. Though the springs are quite pingy if you don't lube them.
For anyone who thought these would be just like normal clear top gateron linears (wobbly, very high pitched sound): they're not, and that's great.

We nearly finished everything and PCB GB is happening within 2 days.

Can you give an updated ETA on the GB?  Will it be today?

I am surprised nobody else noticed this, but I found that many of my tangerine switches bind when pressed off-axis using an angled keycap. Here's a video demonstration: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/359501871783870474/450878482268946432/video.mov . The first switch is a Cherry MX red, the second is a Tangerine.

Disassembling and reassembling the switch didn't fix the problem, nor did swapping parts between switches. However, using Cherry tops did fix the problem, and putting the Tangerine top on a Cherry red caused the Cherry to start binding. So the issue seems to be the top housing. Given how easy it is to get these switches to bind with any kind of angled keycap, I'm not sure I want to use them in any build.

At least 2 out of 10 or so switches I tested had this problem.

Just tested about 20 of them now and I didn't have this issue on any of them. Just bad luck, maybe?

I also tested a handful of them with not a single one binding... could it be the caps you are using? I tried mine with Cherry profile PBT and as well as GMK caps and had no problems at all.

I've been using the Tangerines in my Singa for the past week and I have not had one key bind or even come close to it. That doesn't mean it isn't worth checking my unused remainder, but it's hard to believe I just happened to pick the ones that would work perfectly :p.

There will be no qty limit this time.But its' still 90 and 150 pack.It's easy for us to pack them. As a start-up company we simply don't have enough man power.

Glad to see another run being made! I saw you're having milky bottoms for RGB PCBs, will this be the only option or will we be able to choose between milky and black bottom housing?

Excited to see the group buy pop up when it does.

sadly some bad news for you,this time you have to wait for the switches. Last time,we made 5000 as sample. So that was quick. This time you have wait factory to manufacture them.

Little bit of a bump but I'm just curious - do you have any rough ETA for when the GB may open? I know you said after you're done with Mountain and I've been keeping up with most of the updates on that thread but I'm not sure if you have any estimate for when it may be finished.

Thanks!
