Hi everyone! We are small 2-person team based in Malaysia. We recently ran a small batch for the local community and it turned out quite well, so we decided to run a larger group buy for everyone to purchase it! But before that we thought we'd do a little interest check first to estimate the volume, as we might not be able to handle too much, even if we want to we need to mentally prepare for it.
Introducing... The Noir Rosé!
The Noir Rosé is a simple and elegant linear switch manufactured by JWK. We just wanted to create a simple and elegant looking switch, nothing more.
Yes, it's another JWK recolor, we started the initial small run just because we liked the simplicity and elegance, and thought some people might like it too that's why we're doing this, we're not promising anything groundbreaking. If you're not interested, feel free to leave this page :)
The interest check form is linked in this page (we recently got the site set up, apologies for any hiccups/mistakes):
https://www.rebultkeyboards.com/products/noir-ros%C3%A9-linear-switch (https://www.rebultkeyboards.com/products/noir-ros%C3%A9-linear-switch)
Specs
- 62g Gold-Plated Springs
- Linear
- Polycarbonate Top, Nylon Bottom
- 5-pin (PCB Mount)
- Black Housing, Pink Stem
In terms of feeling and sound, it should be similar to most similar JWK Linears. We recommend lubing and filming them for the best experience.
Each purchase will also come with a sticker designed based on the Noir Rosé!

Sound Test Coming Soon, but most of you probably already know what to expect from a JWK Linear, but it will be here soon!
Price
Since we listed them in our currency, the converted price to other major currencies are available on the website.
Lead Time/Shipping
Lead time is expected to be around 1 month after the GB ends. Shipped worldwide from Malaysia via DHL Express and DHL eCommerce (Economy). Shipping will be calculated when you place the GB order. Shipping rates to major markets are decent.
When will it start?
We expect the Group Buy to start within the next week or so of publishing this post, this interest check is just for us to estimate the demand to prepare ourselves physically and mentally.
Thank you for your time!

I'd like to know what the stem material is and whether or not the $0.52/switch price is final.
Post by: hong@RebultKeyboards on Mon, 05 October 2020, 15:22:52
What a glossy finish! I think I'm into it.Prices are final, only thing subject to change is exchange rate, as prices are set in our local currency.
I'd like to know what the stem material is and whether or not the $0.52/switch price is final.

Just what the community wanted; another JWK recolor. I'm not sure this is it chief. :-XWe're running it because we like the color personally, and thought some people may too, may not be the taste of a lot of people, feel free to move on from the thread :D

Will there be a variant that is colored after Heinz Baked Beans™? Heinz Baked Beans™ are truly a masterclass of flavour and colour, truly deserving of the highest rank of Michelin stars that have been divested to it. I would love to see this beauty brought into a keyboard switch for the world to enjoy.
I bet it would be great bro

Jokes aside though, I'm always welcoming to JWK recolors, especially when a discount is involved. Looking forward to it!

Maybe I'm over reacting, but what's with some of the attitude around this ic? They clearly acknowledged that this was just another jwk recolor. Sure there are tons of jwk recolors, but it's not like anyone is forced to buy them all. Something for everyone.Thanks for understanding, we're definitely not trying to force ppl to buy nor hard selling it, just get it if you genuinely like the color :D

I went on here and saw JWK and scrolled to the bottom without reading the main post or any of the previous discussions in the post just to say "oh boy another jwk recolor" and say this is useless.

GB starting soon and will end at the end of the month.
Set a limit to the number of switches available to a number that we feel comfortable with handling. Thanks for the interest from some of you! Once again, kindly take the exit if this is not for you.

Thanks for understanding! We're not forcing this down anyone's throats, just for whoever genuinely likes it :)
