Currently gathering interest for the Business-Casual-Nostagia perfection that revolves around the clean and simple Blue, Red, and Yellow Colorway.
This arose as a collaborative-type idea that began with trying Alpaca Linears from PrimeKB.com (https://www.primekb.com/products/alpaca-linears) and discovering there unique (very smooth) feel and great overall fit and finish.

Does it use the same mold as alpacas? I'm scared that the switches will be less smooth than the alpacas because of mold being used more.

Stuff like that takes years, how long have alpacas been in production?

+1 for EU proxy, and please add 62g option (alongside or instead of 67g).
Thank you.

We are close to having enough requests to feel comfortable with getting this party started!
A Couple Notes:
1.) These aren't themed around Handerbeit. Handerbeit is litterally a vomit pallet and this is 2 Primary and 1 secondary color. But I can see the resemblance lol
2.) These will come factory lubed but very minimally. After opening up and trying a few dozen Alpacas, I found the factory seems to just lubed the actuation legs of the stem and with a medium viscosity grease. It was very easy to lube over top of.
3.) 62g has been highly requested so we may switch to that lighter varient just for majority ruling. Alpacas are a little Light for me IMO but I’d rather just spring swap mine myself than make 50 other people do it.
Thanks for the support and shill the love of this project where you can! :D

67 gr would be interesting, and probably unique. I'd also be okay with 65 gr. Something just a little heavier than stock.
I'm surprised that people are enjoying the 62 gr weight so much. The Alpaca is a great switch, but I am bottoming-out more than I should because it is so smooth and offers so little resistance. It's too fun to press all the way down, so a little more weight could help.
Post by: Senor Coconut on Tue, 11 February 2020, 13:20:29
I actually like the 67 gr idea. Alpacas are currently, what, 62 gr? I find them a little light.+1

I also read that 65 gr suits these switches well. So I'd be very interested in getting these in the 65 gr. weight.
Post by: rockydbull on Wed, 12 February 2020, 08:44:19
I just read elsewhere that Durock offers these switches in 65 gr. as the 'Mauve' linear. So that's good, there's an established 65 gr. version of these.

IMO 65g is a great weight for linears and is my spring swap of choice into MX ZILENTS (cherry silent stems in clear housing).

These will be in stock on PrimeKB.com around the end of March. This could be delayed due to the coronavirus situation in China. The_Royal will also be stocking them. I'll open up pre-orders once I get the shipping notification from Durock.
any idea about the switch top fit? I keep asking on all of these durock switches because I hope they can address the issue. I own 5 different types of durock switches and they all have loose top housings. The worse offender is the Koala, and the tighest fit has been on the more recent Lilac tactiles. Are they trying to fix it? It's quite a hassle to have to add films to every switch to keep upstroke rattle down.
I'm a big fan of all of these switches once the films are in place, though :thumb:

I haven't heard anything from Durock about it. So I'm gonna assume these will be about the same as the others.

The weight of 67g has been chosen for production.
It’s a nice medium weight that will be very nice for the smooth and thocky characteristic of Durock Linears.
If people still really want a switch that is equal weight to Alpacas or other D.Linears then PrimeKB currently does (and will continue to) stock OEM Durock Springs in the full range of weights:

A quick update about these switches. They were ordered back in January. While Durock is working towards restoring their full production capacity, new custom colored switches such as these are being pushed to the back of the production queue so they can focus on their backlog of switches that have already been proofed. No idea when they will start the color matching process for these.
Is this going to be a groupbuy? Would hate to see these sell out like alpacas do and not be able to grab some.

It was originally going to be a GB but the response was so solid that PrimeKB Decided to buy a large bulk order out-right. So they will be in-stock just like Alpacas when production finishes. Both on PrimeKB and my store Kingly-Keys.
The world is a mess right now so the factory is putting all NEW custom color products on a slower priority within their facilities. Which is Understandable.
The Prototype color samples have been ordered and we should get those some time in the next 1-2 Months depending on how well the factory can facilitate appropriate/healthy manufacturing.
We will update everyone when anything comes our way. :thumb:

So Durock has informed us that Production had slowed for Custom colorway switches. We are still in line for production but there are dozens of other custom orders awaiting production as well.
They told us it would be over a month to get caught up with current full orders.
We have yet to receive samples but they assured us they will done as soon as there team is able to amidst the large queue.
So maybe another month, maybe two. Hard to say.
I will definitely show off the samples and let everyone know when we get word on the full production status. :thumb: :thumb:

These look sick! Will ddef cop them when they become available. I was not aware the Alpacas were only a recolor, does anyone know the name of the original switch? Are there any differences besides colors and spring weight?
I'm not sure what Alpacas was a recolour of, or if it was just a recolour.
Durock makes various lines of stock, plain-coloured linear switches such as L1 and L7 in 67 gr weights. According to Durock, those switches are close to the various 67 gr recolours. These Lil' Tyke switches may be recolours of L1/L7-type switches.
Alpacas could be a recolour and spring-swap of normal Durock 67 gr linears, or at least the base design. I'm sure it's been written about somewhere.

For all intents and purposes, these are literally “Recolored Alpacas” directly ordered by PrimeKB.
So it will be the same exact switch just a little heavier.

Tykes will be shipping from the factory probably at the end of this week. So looks like they will be available in Early October.
That's what I like to hear! :D

Have a look on the post and I don't know whether your description mentioned that this switch is using new mold that is similar to the ones making alpacas or just the same mold?
All that is known to us is that these switches came off the exact same line as alpacas.
After trying them for a bit they feel the same (aside from the weight) as far as I can tell.

Just wondering, what lube is used for the stock switch? And what is the feedback on stock lube? Do we need to relube? Thanks!
Honestly, even dry JWK linears feel very smooth and could easily be used without lube if you want slippery smooth switches. But the trade-off is that they are clacky. Some people like that. Some don't. If you don't like the clack, you can minimize it a lot by filming the switches, getting rid of the rattle on upstroke. If you would like to further quite the switch and make it somewhat thocky, you can lube with 205g0. I have some boards with switches only filmed and some with switches that are filmed and lubed. They feel only slightly different; however, they sound drastically different.

If you are picky about that, you can buy Novelkeys Dry, which comes without lube [as do many custom runs].
