Well done. Really looking forward to them.

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.

Sorry guys we have using too much time to translate PCB's software and making instructions.

Here is a rough video to show the Leds.

PS. Custom led effect is not shown.

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?

kawasaki161 · « **Reply #128 on:** Thu, 31 May 2018, 02:53:45 »

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.

Remsky · « **Reply #129 on:** Thu, 31 May 2018, 10:15:12 »

Mine have not binded at all either

zekkin · « **Reply #130 on:** Thu, 31 May 2018, 10:19:34 »

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

Hi,everyone

Tangerine switch GB will be alive after i finish shipping mountain GB.

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.

Both milky bottom and black bottom. Milky one is for those RGB PCBs.

This is great news, didn't get enough of them last time. They are pretty great switches, so will have to get the RGB ones and wait to build my Mountain board.

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!
