What are Fast Springs?
They're progressive springs thatg act the opposite of "slow progressive" springs, so it's light on the downstroke but takes a little more to bottom out, it should make typing even nicer for people like me that happen to have gotten used to browns over time and can't type faster on anything else but ew browns


A special Thanks to Chris of protozoa for believing in me and helping me bring this project to like, along with a more than thank you to the ever amazing Sailer (https://www.instagram.com/spicychickenrenders/) for his advice and renders and to Wilkes (https://www.instagram.com/willkes/) for his amazing work on the video, you guys really took this project to another level <3

So, what do these look like with keycaps on? Are they bright enough to see? Do shine through shinethrough keycaps?

I can remember you posting the very early concepts and toying with the GID idea. Absolutely knocked it out of the park man.

Perhaps on high profile boards, but there are lots of mid and low profile boards.

This. A lot of the sandwich through-hole boards leave your switches very much on display so some GiD would look pretty sweet.

Can OP confirm what the tactiles are? Kinda difficult to commit to buying without knowing what I'm buying... T1 stem?
