Big fan of the color choice here. Looks very elegant like navy or a deep purple.

Really excited for these, Dale!

Rayndalf · « **Reply #102 on:** Thu, 22 October 2020, 02:50:18 »

I'm still quite hyped for this. Are there any other "browns but better" options worth trying?

HungerMechanic · « **Reply #103 on:** Thu, 22 October 2020, 03:54:09 »

For one take on "Browns but better," I suggest lubing some stock Everglide Jades generously with 3204.

Any way to do full nylon housing?

would like to see a nylon top housing too... but interested nonetheless.

I've got two different "all nylon" JWK switches and they feel and sound identical to ones with the supposedly PC top. I don't think the materials are different enough to compare like Cherry tops to Zeal. I'm kind of skeptical to believe they even use different materials

For some reason I'm actually interested in these but would like to know more about the curve. Between brown and clear is rather vague.

These are going to be modeled more after Browns. Basically, it's an open secret that it's kind of an attempt to replicate the qualities of Vint Browns.

[Browns made with smoother plastics, much smoother molds, maybe greater stability, and a somewhat sharper bump to compensate for the greater smoothness. Something like that.]

Have there been an announcements made about gb dates and such? I don't know their other socials like discord etc, dion't want to miss out on any announcements. Really looking forward to the switch.

Sick name haha.

But “A light and smooth bump” is sad.

We need tactile switch makers who love hard bumps but also really focus on the sound, we need to get linear sounding, highly tactile switches, IMO.

There is so much interest in this IC because the hard bump trend of the last two years has been played out. Many, like me, want something with a vintage brown feel and this seems to fit the bill.

Agreed. I'm only interested in this because it is a light tactile switch. There are already to many highly tactile switches on the market and those producers can work on improving their acoustics.

You say we need them, but you don't say why.

The thing is with Holy Panda and Boba U4 out there, everyone who enjoy high tactility are already happy.
For those who enjoy light tactility there is nothing really great out there.

Any tactile switch in the past 2 years has tried to out-tactile the other one. There are plenty of options in lots of different colours for you if you want high tactility. In terms of light to medium tactility there is basically only MX Brown (and clones) and MX Clear. Now it seems people are finally going back to various degrees of tactility and I'm excited for it. I've been trying to find something like MX Clear but nothing really comes close. I've tried the naevies but they feel like a Speed Holy Panda to me with the even shorter travel distance. I'll definitely be picking a few of these up.

~~Oh, one thing if I may. Please no factory lube~~ Shows how much I read. Oh and I'd also support a full nylon housing if possible.

Datastream · « **Reply #118 on:** Tue, 17 November 2020, 02:05:35 »

Im interested in them after reading the descriptions. This rush for most tactile misses the point of tactility imo.

oxbloods still on my radar. i’ve been typing on kailh silent box browns recently and really enjoying them. new batch so alignment is good, no rattle, consistent feel, noticeable but not distracting bump for feedback. just read this thread on browns and felt the need to give oxbloods a bump.

Same here - been holding out for Oxbloods and I keep checking the thread at least once a week for updates lol.

Good to hear about silent box browns - I actually freaking love box browns, they are my fav light tactile but I hate how they become clicky after awhile. Does the silent one have an issue with becoming clicky over time? I have been looking for alternatives to the box brown but have not come across something that can replicate that tactile bump.
