No picture because I don't want to take the caps off again, but I clipped the stabs on my cherry stabs and they feel so much better. The only negative side so far is that I can hear the spacebar springing back up, but I could fix it if I wanted to.

Bought a Duck eagle built with 62g clears from a user on r/mech. I replaced the stabilizers because they were a bit wonky and added sip sockets to each switch. I also Replaced the space bar with a black gateron switch and added green leds.

Really early blues/greens more or less.

I have one on my Phantom, I'm not a massive clicky switch fan/user but I'd say its slightly heavier than a blue.

Really nice board though Ivan, Disco Lolita  :))

As far as I know the vintage MX White switches had a translucent white stems, like those that are used by MX Clear switches today.
So I think he's using vintage Cherry MX Whites. I'm also using MX Whites, and love them!

Right, clicky clears are first generation MX click switch. Slider has no pigment, just like tactile clear. There was also no cam bumps next to the stem like there are on blues, green, and modern white. They are lighter than modern white, little heavier than modern blue and have a very soft click sound but still sharp feel tactility. They also seem to have much less hysteresis than blues... but maybe it's just my imagination.
I had to cave and get a TKL... so I got the smallest one I could find. playing some games that MUST force you to use Fkeys, or some old pre-mouse era games where you have to use wasd+cursors at the same time... too frustrating with a 60% and I don't like having to rearrange my whole damn desk to fit a G80-3000 or something which is only 2KRO and game fail anyway. It's not replacing my GH60 as my primary keyboard at all though.

Thank you. The set has a few blemishes, but I found someone willing to sell me a few Desko keycaps as replacements!

can't really say much because when I pulled a keycap off with the gateron slider 1 out of the 4 tabs would pop off
I would assume that it's pretty similar

I clipped the stabs on my 3700HQAUS. Couldn't be bothered to do it before, but I am not able to sleep, so now was as good as any time to do so. If you have Cherry Stabs and you haven't clipped your stabs, you should do it.

I just got my Bro Set rocking on my work board. Also good to know that the Reaper I got that I thought had an off center stem dosn't actually seem too and it seems to only be a bit thicker than the other Reapers, which on my modded Filco TKL causes it to get stuck, but on a stock full size filco it fits like a glove!!



But it cant stay on that board as its for work!

Also, note the upside down H :/

One thing I was curious about with these Wildcats caps, are they pad printed?

I've never heard of Unicomp doubleshots, so I'm assuming they are.

I think they're dye subbed. But if they are pad printed, it's a nice pad printing. There's no raised surface. They're not doubleshots. I don't think any IBM or Unicomp caps were doubleshots.
