nice effort
Here before the Theremin rant.
In all seriousness, it would be great to have more info about these switches than "it's the cyberpunk colors." Are they linears or tactiles? What manu do you plan on using for them? Are they anything more than a recolor?
I don't get how anyone can use a none silenced/dampened switch. They just sound so nice...
I thought the same, so I clicked on the survey.
Linear. Gateron.
Asking for feedback on spring weight.
Info that should be in the OP to help dispel some of the ‘first post on new account here to cash in thanks’ vibe I’m getting.
Kangaroo piss housing. Nice
Oh NoHi treeleaf!
After the Ink Kangaroo switches, which also use piss housings.Kangaroo piss housing. Nice
I know I should probably be mad at this but it just made me laugh lol. Like why specifically kangaroo pee? :))
Oh No
Unless it is something really really good, like dixie's meka mat
You’re not succeedingnice effort
Thanks, I thought myself how to use Blender over the past few days in order to make the renders haha.
i wish that game never come outIt certainly needed some more time in the oven, but fiscal year goals...
i wish that game never come outTake that back !

Well now I don't want to :( .
His sentiment on "it would be great to have more info about these switches" is pretty much all I can echo on this one.

Hey, I didn't put a ton of info into the post because I'm still talking with manufacturers to see what their capabilities are but I can tell you what I expect the switch to be as of now. I'm expecting it to be a recolored Gateron Ink v2 housing and stem with a gold 67g spring. I'm not 100% committed to a specific manufacturer just yet, but I'm expecting to have them produced by Huizhou Jiadalong Electronic Technology Co.
Why research when I can just wing it?Here before the Theremin rant.

If I'm not mistaken, Huizhou Jiadalong is Gateron, so that would definitely make sense if you do go the route of Gateron recolors. As well, the mention above about Kangaroo switches was in reference to another recent Ink recolor with a fairly similarly colored housing as yours. Ambition aside, as you most definitely do have it in spades getting an IC up this early, I think you could really benefit from doing a bit more research as to the switch options currently out there as well as what the kind of MOQs are going to be for something like Gateron - as I think they may be a fair bit higher than you are anticipating.
i will give major props because these at least are not inspired by anime. thank u very much for doing this

At least most of the people being inspired by anime learned their lesson and have started doing research first. This IC deserves zero props considering it's a clear placeholder with no discernable effort put into it. There's a reason why if you go somewhere like KCDesign discord they warn you to do your homework before posting on GH.

I have in fact done my homework. I already have a vendor for running the group buy and fulfilling orders, I've been in talks with multiple manufacturers, etc. I know these switches aren't super custom or anything crazy but I don't have the money right now to design anything fully custom. I'm hoping that I'll be able to make enough money from this to put into making some completely custom stuff in the future. I've actually been working on designing a new keycap profile/set for over 6 months, but since I don't have the money to do that right now so I decided to put that on pause and make these switches.
I get that they are basically just recolors, but Gateron Inks are great switches and I'm planning to sell them at or below the going price.

If you are trying to do Gateron recolors, you're not going to be able to get them done anywhere but Gateron, so I'm not entirely sure what manufacturers you could be referencing unless this is "like" a Gateron Ink rather than a recolor. (Sorry, that parts not clear).
As well, you said above you were trying to keep margins super thin and at the same time now are considering profiting off of it enough to make more stuff in the future? I'm just confused as to which one you are doing here.
Finally, you can pretty much buy wholesale Gateron Inks either from Gateron or at about as thin of margins as you can possibly go via places like Aliexpress/Taobao. Again, I may be wrong, but I don't think you can simultaneously run thin margins, make profit enough to sink into future projects, and offer at or below "the going price".
While you very well may have done the homework as you've stated, and I'm not necessarily doubting that you could have, the IC as well as some of the things you've said in previous responses don't really show it off all that well.
To elaborate what Elmo said, if you have not had enough reasons for why not, cyberswitch already exists from AngryMiao:

piss switches :eek:
Yes it is true that this is my first post here, but I'm not in it for the money.
I'm hoping that I'll be able to make enough money from this to put into making some completely custom stuff in the future.
Is there any information involving the technical specs of these switches?
OP, the way you make a **** ton of money is to milk the massmarket. Forget the salty nerds at geekhack who want to know stupid things like manufacturer and you know, actual details about the switch. Get it produced and collab with like Glorious, Drop or any other company that sells pre-made hotswap boards.
I hope you make millions, you deserve it for the hard work! <3
are these discernably better or different from normal inks or can i ignore this IC
