[IC] Blue Bubblegum Linear
« on: Fri, 10 December 2021, 10:14:51 »
From Keebhut, a small vendor out of Southern California comes it’s first switch, the Gateron Blue Bubblegum Linear.

Specs:
* POM Stem
* INK Bottom Housing
* Nylon PA66 Top Housing
* 55g Actuation
* 65g Bottom Out
* 4.00mm Travel
* MX Style
* PCB Mount (5 Pin)

The color scheme for this switch is inspired by the color of bubblegum, combined with the color blue, cause why not. Hence the name, Blue Bubblegum. The materials were chosen to retain the smoothness and feel of the much loved Gateron Black Inks while using a nylon top to lower the pitch of the switch and a 65g spring rather than the heavier 80g spring in the Black Inks. This switch will come in at 70c per switch in the US and similarly priced in the rest of the world, adding taxes. The switch will also be unlubed.

It’s an Ink Gateron with a nylon top, not a KS3

(Ink v2 stem) + (Ink v2 bottom housing) = scratchy like Ink v2

Yep, I prefer nylon top too so that’s why I’m running this GB. Also on the statement that these will be scratchy it’s still being decided on if we should run it with or without factory lube.

They're scratchy with or without lube. I'd look into a different bottom. Or maybe a different stem would help.

That would impact sound in a negative way

I've updated the IC with a new photo album, more accurate information, and a vendor list.
