Any chance you could get these with no lube applied from the factory? There are a lot of switches I would like to try but I pass on many of them because of factory lube. I don't mind lubing switches but hate having to wipe off factory lube

Possible typing or sound test? I do have a set of GMK Wavez caps and would love a green keyboard in the future. Green switches would be amazing.

Just realized these were by gateron and not JWK.  Interesting.  Should sound like a tealios switch if that’s the case.  Can’t tell if that’s polycarbonate or just a very translucent recolor of the normal rgb gateron housing.  Sure looks like polycarbonate.

Yep, it's polycarbonate, on the switch housing spec.

Okay so this seems more than worth it if that’s the case.  Very nice  :thumb:

No PCB mount legs on the housing?

Agreed, that might be the thing that makes me pass on grabbing some of these. It's simple enough to clip the extra legs off if you really need the switches to be plate mount, don't get why anyone would make a 3 pin switch for sale loose TBH......

Double length springs? 
 
Gonna need some info, I can't see any reason someone would want these. Is the housing adjusted for tighter tolerances like Tealios? Will final product have pcb legs? Will there be factory lube applied?

Lool!  Those springs!  So many questions on this one.  Also, the Pantone for housing and stem listed are identical? Is that a typo?  Are the renders wrong?
