Oh boy, I'm a simple man. I see pink switches I buy them.
Can you give us more insight into which will be the manufacturer of these switches, or how do they compare to more known linears, say, Gateron Yellows, Retooled Blacks, Tealios, and so on?
Also, a force curve of the said new springs would be a good thing? How does the "cushioned" feel you say is implemented?
Not that I need a full accounting here, but I'm kinda curious about how you can run an MOQ that would be met at $4,800 and still make your own molds? Aren't molds more than that alone?I think the molds are already (to some degree) made and self-funded, given that they have prototypes?

Aren't molds more than that alone?We have negotiated with the factory on some terms and conditions. We had invested into the mold before the IC started, but it takes a certain MOQ to at least let the factory or stakeholders feel secure enough that this is a feasible project, even though internally we are confident with the quality.

Thic Thock Marshmallow Swtich
Marshmallow will be a linear switch that comes with delicious color combo that resembles, well, marshmallow. We offer this marvelous switches with incredibly bouncy and cushiony progressive spring from Thic Thock MP Series to enhance the typing experience as well as muting the ping sound that can be often found in many switches with their stock springs. Marshmallow itself is smooth enough that some of the private testers had given feedback that even without lubrication, it is still smooth enough to be used right away. (We are planning to send more samples out to different influencers for further reviews)
Just in case someone is interested in this, Durock is not affiliated with the manufacture or production of Marshmallow. We invest onto our own factory for creating the switch from molding to leafs and legs.
MOQ for Marshmallow will be 10,000.
GB starting date estimated to be early November

Personally prefer lighter springs so would love to see these have a lighter spring options too! Maybe somewhere in 62g-65g? ;D
Q: Possible to add other weight?
A: Sorry, unfortunately we want to stick to the MP68 for Marshmallow debut. However, you can add our springs to the cart with your order OR order separately so you can get it before the fulfillment of Marshmallow.
What are the wobble tolerances on these?
Interested in seeing the switch pins and overall dimensions in comparison to other switches out there.
I have issues with some custom Gateron switches being a bit larger than original Cherry spec. Similarly, the YOK and NK cream switches are just too large and are a pain to get into switch plates that are cut precisely to spec.
Also, what do the pins look like? A lot of new switches being made have thin pins. It's fine for soldering, but I often find these thin pins cause switches to chatter and/or not register in Kailh hot-swap sockets that have been broken in by a few switch swaps.
Just need more detail. The color is great.
Obviously the board type will matter, so it's hardly scientific, but is there any chance we could get a sound test of some sort before the GB launches?
Any info on the Travel distance for actuation? :)
new to keyboards in general, i love the look of the switches but is it possible to lower the actuation force? would I just swap the spring? :o looking for something similar to reds/yellows but these look lovely.
Maybe offer a tester kit? like four switches for $5 so you make money and we can test without committing to an entire set then finding out we don't like the feel. those colors doe!! mmmmmm, mmmm….nom nom nom

If you want to lower the actuation force then, yes, all you'd need to do is swap the spring to a lighter spring.
That said, at 68g these should be very close in weight to gat yellows, but heavier than gat reds.

I am a little confused, I was under the impression that gat reds are 45g and yellows are 50g. Am I misunderstanding something regarding the weight of these Thic Thock switches? :o

So the actuation force was changed to ~50g, does that also mean the spring weight was changed?
I know but for example gateron black inks has a acutation force of 60g and bottom out of 70g. So I figured if you changed the acutation you might have changed the bottom out as well.12-11

Actuation is not Bottom Out force
We employ progressive spring into Marshmallow, the actuation force is not comparable with Inks or other linear that employs linear springI know but for example gateron black inks has a acutation force of 60g and bottom out of 70g. So I figured if you changed the acutation you might have changed the bottom out as well.12-11

Oh okay, I don't think I've tried progressive springs before then. It will be interesting to try out :)We employ progressive spring into Marshmallow, the actuation force is not comparable with Inks or other linear that employs linear springI know but for example gateron black inks has a acutation force of 60g and bottom out of 70g.

45g and 50g are probably actuation force, which is usually what switch manufacturers advertise. aftermarket springs are all bottom out force, which is higher. in the case of gateron, i believe gat reds should be 55g bottom out, and yellows 60g bottom out (dont quote me on these numbers tho)
Does this switch have this 'ticking' problem? https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/d0by85/tealios_v2_questions/ez8nveh/

Not that I'm aware of, moreover, Marshmallow is not made from Gateron.

Are you able to share the manufacturer?
gateron or jwk???gateron has no part in the manufacturing of Marshmallow
Do you happen to know if the price going to increase on mykeyboard.eu because of import fees?
Any idea on when the springs will be back in stock? Looking to pick some up with my switchesShould be next week! Thank you for the support!
EU vendor seems to only sell in packs of 60. I thought that was moq per order.
Can we get a separate GB thread in the GB forum?
Ordered 120, excited to try these out!

No, it should be $5.5.

By looking at their prices in Euro and converting it to USD we are in fact paying (at current rates) 10.9% more.
Price of 0.55 Euro is equivalent to 0.61 USD.
Is this something you have communicated with them? I personally don't mind much but your statement is incorrect.

In this hobby switch spring weight should be the least of your worries... everyone is sprong swapping.Do you happen to know if the price going to increase on mykeyboard.eu because of import fees?

Thanks for bringing it up.. i was thinking the exact same thing. i guess that's the price diff needed to cover the import duties?
Having said that i think the all the work mykeyboard.eu needs to do to join the GB and give us these switches in the EU is well worth the price diff.. only thing i'm considering is the amount i'm going to get. i need 68/70 .. but i don't like having to little of a switch..
so perhaps ill just get 120 and pay the extra €22.. currently typing on lubed Milky Gateron Yellow ... like the soft pillow feeling of them.
a tad on the heavy side .. but my Milky Gateron Reds are way to light so it's Yellow or nothing .. i'm really hoping the progressive nature of these switches are going to feel lighter when just actuating...
That's the main reason why i'm on the fence regarding the amount.. But will be adding a mouse pad for sure. was looking for a lighter color mouse pad and one that has switches on both sides of my keyboard what more can i ask for ;-)
Thank you for giving us this nice switch look forward to getting sum and your future endeavors...
Really like that we have an EU vendor..
