Invyr 'Panda' Super Linear Switches (Shipped)

[gnmar2723]

Are you outside of the US? Shipping always sucks for people outside of the US, which includes myself .

Also how long will this $70 for 110 switches last for. I'm waiting for a detailed review of the switches .

I'm nervously waiting with my mouse over the purchase button waiting for the same thing.

Hey guys,

After having a dream about RAMA becoming a giant evil corporation I decided to redo the videos for extra quality.

However I do have 2 little presents for you. Its really hard to capture the white that the pandas are on the camera that I was using so they are a tad too beige looking, I tried to clean it up a little in photoshop with a minimal success. As I write this, however, my 70D is charging for the video and extra photos which will look much better. 

I hope you enjoy.

Yeah I stuck with the thicc pins, they are much nicer. They also dont bend all over the shop so assembly is a bit quicker.

Wow those pins are awesome!

Are all invyr switches plate mount?

[Harms]

Seems like it for now. Out of all the pictures i have never seen PCB mount ones and the ones in the shop are plate mount.

[27]

Are all invyr switches plate mount?

As per the OP

"By default it is plate mounted however if you send me a PM along with your order number/email I can get you a pcb mount version"

[jebbra]

Let me fix the yellow cast for you



Is it look more like this IRL?

Yep, thats pretty much it!


Also here the Quality (sarcasm implied) video.

In the case that I order a set now will it ship out with the original group buy orders? I know you said you already sent it to your proxy but wasn't sure if the proxy was gonna keep a stock or not.

If I already ordered, is it too late to get the pcb mounted version?

I wondering too. I'm gonna order soon (probably).
Is it still available to get a PCB mount version?

[jebbra]

Is PCB mount give a firmer feel compared to plate mount? Assuming both them placed on board with PCB and plate.

If the plate is doing its job I don't think its noticeable at all.

Nope just send me a PM and we are all good.

The proxy's will have a small stock with then.

[KingRama]

That is one damn aesthetic switch. I NEED.

Gotcha. I will stick for the plate mount then. Inserting PCB mount to planck plate is hard labor work.

I don't really use geekhack at all. Can I have your reddit handle so I can message you there? I am much more familiar with how reddit works.

So why would opening these be like to spring swap? Really greasy? Would it affect the lubed properties in any manner? Really want to buy these for my new mech27 but I have gold 62g springs waiting

I came to ask the same thing as the gold SPRiT springs are on MD.

Do you recommend getting some lube in if we plan to swap and if so do you have any recommendations?

[Korseir]

So when will these be shipping out?

If you really need gold springs, get the ones from mechanicalkeyboards.com They are in stock and only a buck more.

What is the predicted reliability like on these?  If I recall correctly the Matias switches had chattering issues because the factory put too much lube into the switches.

This seems like a fairly big deal. It'd be nice to see a typing demo on a board with these switches to allay concerns.

[Gridean]

Have the Australian buyers been sent their switches? Will we be getting a shipping notification?

[zisb]

Aussies yours have now been sent.

I just moved into the new place yesterday which luckily for me is right next to a post office!

I'll reply to everyone else once I have a computer an internet.

[Korseir]

Any word on when Canadians will be getting theirs?

[Krakob]

Hey! I'd like to purchase just five or so switches, would it be possible to arrange a cheaper letter delivery instead?

Edit: to Sweden, I should add

[wholypantalones]

Any word on when Canadians will be getting theirs?

There was something about a proxy sending them out a while ago, I'm also interested in when the 220 I've purchased will be shipped to freedom land..

[Cotay]

So have US switches shipped? Not to rush anyone, just wanting to make sure my 130 aren't lost somewhere.

[MNICI]

Also how long will this $70 for 110 switches last for. I'm waiting for a detailed review of the switches .

Bump, people need the answer!

[Jumie]

Do we get tracking number once it has shipped?

[Kafka]

Paging US and CA buyers, N3RDLY said he's gotten the first shipment of switches and will be sending them out soon for US. He also said the Canadian batch was received by the Canada proxy in the past couple days. Source is the newest topclack podcast episode.

Put in a modest order, these look pretty slick.

I gotta say, as much as I like the product, these videos of you holding switches to demonstrate smoothness and wobble are really ****ing stupid.

I disagree. Wobble is important to me, because it strongly affects stability of SA profile keycaps. If I have the choice between more or less stablility when building a $600 board, I'd prefer more stability.

I think he means the videos don't do a good job of demonstrating the switch's attributes. Not that the smoothness/wobble isn't important.

All PCB orders: I am going to send out an email to you guys giving you some options due to CNY

What's the state of the EU orders?

I'll be using a plate, but I have a question. As long as we are using a plate, we don't actually need PCB mount switches, correct? Do those two little prongs that go into the PCB provide any extra stability that I might miss if I get the plate mounted switches?

I've had problems with plates supporting switch top removal in conjunction with plate mount switches being slightly crooked.

Really just depends on the plate and its tolerances, if its a decent quality with low tolerance you shouldn't have a problem. I mean you could always grab PCB just for a bit of extra stability if your not so sure.
