Author Topic: [IC] Gateron Milk & Tea (Milky inks) (Read 49082 times)

BapoDonu · « **on:** Thu, 26 November 2020, 14:46:41 »

TLDR
These switches are basically milky inks,they will have a colored milky top with opaque ink bottom.
Tea switch (dark) Gateron black spring
Milk switch (light) Gateron yellow spring

Now for those who like to read:
I've been working on these for 2 months now and things are moving kinda slow... Good Thing is the project is doable and can be made, so I wanted to gauge interest in this now, unfortunately it's not all good please,don't think this is an IC for a switch that will be in GB next month, this project might not become a thing ultimately not up to me. The project is divided in two parts the first being the colored milky tops and the second being the switch itself. Expected MOQ is 60k with pricing close to regular inks,it will be a group buy and not in stock. I will post updates when I have them. I'm already in talks for prototypes and will post a sound test very soon, you could also make this switch yourself you will need a gat ink v2 and a milky yellow/black the end result won't be exactly the same, but similar.Thanks to jeff and marco for the renders. Thank you all for taking your time to read this IC <3

Hi. Just curious, what’s the benefit of the milky top over the regular gat ink top? I happen to have both and tried to make one. I find that gat black inks still sound better and thockier.

Update:
So I moved into the proto phase and I'm presented with an option of having nylon milky tops, I have not tried such a top but I thought it might be worth considering, so I would really appreciate if you could share your thoughts on the IC form or here. There isn't any major drawback if let's say I get the protos and I do not like the switch I can just go back to the normal milky top, that would just mean it will take more time to get another round of protos.

In summary, if I understood correctly, it would be nylon top and bottom and POM stem ?

So regular milky tops are PC then? I was wondering about this since I got some all black KS-3 yellows, all milky KS-3 yellows, milk top/black bottom KS-3 yellows, & KS-8 (clear top/black bottom) yellows which all sound identical. I was thinking the milky & black tops would be made from a different material compared to the clear tops, but guess I was wrong. Also I agree with most others, go for the nylon variant!

Milky tops are a blend pretty sure no one knows what exact materials are used but I found out that FEI switches supposedly have nylon milky tops so I'm trying to get my hands on those so I can compare them to the normal milky tops.

Managed to get some FEI switches that have nylon milky tops and tried them on the inks, compared to the normal milky top (black bottom milky top gaterons) its disappointing... On the other hand normal milky tops are very nice so I will be ordering protos with those. Still working on the comparison video will most likely wait until I get the protos.

No not really, the 50/60g springs are just yellow/black springs just thought those would be the most familiar to people.

CookieFlow · « **Reply #95 on:** Tue, 26 January 2021, 08:56:32 »

Personally I think those are good choices, especially yellow springs that are generally very well appreciated.
