Is this another Durock/JWK clone?
Is this made by JWK?
Always interested in some new tactiles. IC Form link is broke
Sadly not linearDisagree. Glad to see some tactile love.
I wish this was tactile, but LESS tactile than t1's..+1 on this. wish these were like ergo clear tactility at most.

Totally interested. Definitely approve of tactile. I'm up for a full-size collection of these at a minimum.I'm similar, my primary interest is the price. With all these different switches, prices are starting to get crazy.
Love it! I'd be in for a board worth. Maybe more if these ended up being Tacit recolours with 62g springs!Tacits are keebwerk exclusivity/NDA bound. Durock/JWK etc is not allowed to make another silent tactile, nor a recolour of the Tacits without keebwerk consent.

And unrelated to that, T1's dont have a rounded bump, theyre one of the sharper tactile bumps on the market just behind sky v2s....
All of these super tactile switches are killing me. I wish someone would release a tactile that was similar to MX Browns, but smoother with a lighter spring, like 45g bottom out

I want this to happen! Any chance for stabilizer kits too?Good point! I’d be interested in seeing that as well!
Tactile is life
Love the look, but not down for them being just a T1 recolor. Any chance a linear version could be added? If they tactility could be toned down I'd be in for the tactile version, but I don't think Durock/JWK have anything other than the T1 stem profile for tactiles. I gotta agree with the others in this thread that are just plain burned out on MX tactiles trying to have as big as a bump as possible. If Cherry would get off their ass & retool the molds for MX clears they'd make a killing. I could see a huge resurgence in popularity for ergo clears if they were smoother than they are now.
Oh yaes, its gonna be a slightly more tactile ver of Ergo Clears
When Gb?
Tactile is lifeWhile generally I agree, there are definitely tactiles that I just flat out dislike (blueberries, halos).

wait a minute
With GMK Unit-01 starting in july I really hope this GB comes to fruition.Same. I'm practically foaming at the mouth
Id love to have some matching stabs if the price is right ofc :)https://novelkeys.xyz/products/durock-stabilizers?_pos=1&_sid=8011fb4c1&_ss=r

I'll be updating some photos of the samples soon. Probably within this or next week. :)
Please look forward to them!

Right, what's the point in going tactile... if you can barely even feel the feedback. Sack up, and get with it I say!All of these super tactile switches are killing me. I wish someone would release a tactile that was similar to MX Browns, but smoother with a lighter spring, like 45g bottom out

Have you tried Aliaz switches? Sounds like just what you're looking for. I like them okay, but for me I need the nice big round tactile bumps!

I mainly want to be able to play games on them. Having a zeal/HP/T1 switch for that is just plain annoying. I like a little bit of feedback so that if I'm resting my hands on the keys I know I'm not accidentally activating a key. I've tried aliaz switches and they were alright but the springs were pretty crap - I might get some 45-50g springs for them and see if that makes them a bit betterRight, what's the point in going tactile... if you can barely even feel the feedback.

I don't know what nerve-damaged fingers you'd need to have to "barely feel" the feedback of clears but I don't envy you.
All these modern super-tactiles are way too slow. I have no idea if the RARA will be any good but at the very least these will look nice.
There's some delays on the switches, if nothing goes wrong, the photos will be up next week!
I'm so glad this was changed to the Rara stem from T1 and unlubed! And the linear spring to boot, you guys are doing too much right.. I am skeptical, what's the catch lol? I only found out because it was linked in the new IC for Eva themed linear switches. Maybe I am blind, or maybe some more IC's need posting on Reddit. I think this GB is important for the community. It's been over a year since Zealios were available, and I feel like newcomers to the hobby are really lacking an option other than Ergo Clears for normalish tactile switches. The days of the top bump tactiles are finally simmering down, thank you!
Sadly, I don't think the stabs will be entering gb, as there arent enough interest to secure the MoQ.
Yeah, bring these to Apex and I'll buy 120.
I'm always in need of Ergo Clears, and while these won't be the same, they're worth buying if they're comparable.
any update on these?
lol EVA-01 is 'shogouki' not 'shogoki'
EU Vendor?
I'm 43, RARA is a physically different design, the spring/ and leaf ping is more quite. RARA is not the T1 clones.
It is very similar to 62g mx clear,more smooth.
In image's left side is rara's stem ,and the right side is KBDFANS T1's stem,
the red line at T1's stem is the point where T1 create tactile
,but the black line at Rara's stem is where rara create tactile
yeah,the difference in structure is small, but the difference in feel is obvious
Thats the difference between t1 and rara,
the stem which at the front is t1, rara is behind it
they all line up and cling at each other
Okay, now that I'm home, I tried some Raras against T1s (Red stem, smoky housing), Koalas, and Lilacs. Each switch had Sprit 63.5 Slow springs in them, no lube or film added.
Raras definitely are prelubed on stem and bottom housing rails.
In terms of stock smoothness, my experience was T1s>Raras>Koalas=Lilacs.
For sound, Raras are lower pitched and bassier than T1s, and are slightly more muted than Koalas, less bassy than Lilacs. The upstroke of the Raras sounds to be the quietest of all 4 switches.
In terms of feel, Raras feel like they have more pretravel than T1s. Holding them side by side and pressing gently till I start to feel the bump, I can definitely see the Rara stem press down more than the T1 (seems like it goes twice as deep, in my rough totally-not-professional guesstimate). The tactile bump also feels less sharp and less pronounced than the T1s. I can see what the 43 means by the Ergo Clear comparison. An interesting tactile option that I hope is more widely available, feels and sounds like a bit of a "stealthier" (but not silenced) tactile option in the JWK lineup.
I will be updating the vendors soon! :)
Whats turn around looking like?Should be around 3-4 months after GB ended :)
I've got a giant pile of EVA themed stuff for my keyboard on the way, if I gotta wait another month or two for these switches I suppose that's okay.

It's gonna hurt to tell you because the GB is over, but

I got that, a dark purple KBD 100%er coming, and I've made custom coiled Green/purple cabling.
Current the vendors I can confirm are:
Asia: ThicThock
US/Canada: ApexKeyboards
EU: MyKeyboardEU
UK: Proto[Typist]
OCE: TBA
Pricing will be released shortly in a few days time.
GB will happen in October! :)
I hate that I missed this GB. Hoping extras were ordered, so I can get a shot at them.

Yes, happy as hell. I thought I saw something about a GB on Reddit about 1/2 a month ago. Well, I was mistaken. Count me in for @ least 60.I hate that I missed this GB. Hoping extras were ordered, so I can get a shot at them.

If you're referring to these switches, GB hasn't happened yet.

Enjoy!
Any chance I can still get these? :/Probably not through the GB as it has ended but people will sell them on mechmarket after they arrive. If you're not specifically interested in this colour, these are pretty much just T1 switches so there are plenty of other colour variants that should feel about the same.
Does anyone know what's going on with this GB? I ordered from my local vendor during the GB and still haven't received the switches. It seems like some vendors have had these switches for months. My local vendor says they haven't received them yet

I also haven't recieved my order on November 10, 2020 from ThicThock.
I'm waiting for them to respond to my contact form submission on their site and no response from them on Discord.
Hopefully, this gets sorted since they're selling them on their website so they should have switches to send me :confused:
Still waiting on mine from Dailyclack.Same
