Announcing our LS63.5 (linear, 63.5G actuation) and TS63.5 (tactile, 63.5G actuation) switches!
Housing will be transparent and will both feature a double gold spring. Both housing and stem will be polycarb.
Stem for the linear switch will be light blue, stem for tactile switch will be light pink! Stems will be opaque.
Pricing will be about 40-50p per switch! More info and typing tests coming soon!

Looks really nice, will definitely buy some of the linears. Will go nicely with my CU65 :D

Will you provide us with force curves? Who's manufacturing them? Will they come prelubed? How long will the springs be?

Hello; treeleaf.
I'm wondering why you have chosen to render as a fully transparent switch, when it's an opaque stem.
Hm. Why wouldn't I be able to buy Jwick switches (polycarbonate housing, POM stem) and long springs. And end up with a cheaper switch.
The things that I have found, I do not see the point of making a new IC.

Hi,
[/size][size=78%]This isn't a render of our final switch it's a photo of the samples we've been testing from our manufacturer. [/size]
[/size]
[/size][size=78%]If you would like to buy another switch then I can't stop you. [/size]
[/size]
[/size][size=78%]We are introducing our own switch because we would like to integrate switches and keycaps into our product line with the aim of both being available in the future as part of our keyboard kits. [/size]

Hi!
- Yes, we are working on publishing force curves and I will post ASAP.
- Unfortunately I am unable to comment on the manufacturer at this time.
- All switches will be un-lubed, you will need to lube them yourself.
- The spring is 23mm long.

Ok you've got samples but you mention nothing about them This is a great IC I really love the lack of information
This is a treeleaf toxic moment Very sorry for the mean-ness

No one cares about your "meanness" Tree, it's the stupid, annoying, giant, green text you should apologize for. Just go with the green text by itself if you're really that desperate to be special.

Typing test of the tactile ones here :cool:

I would have a very good guess that it's tecsee. They've produced similar switches and have easy customer relations for new customers.

I won't lie, I think a lot of people interested in this like the fully transparent look and want alternatives to the (slightly scuffed) Water Kings, plus tactile options. Gonna have to agree with treeleaf on this one: the pic is a bit misleading. The video thumbnail also uses the fully transparent switch, which kinda hypes up the transparent appearance.
Full transparency is the biggest draw to full polycarbonate, IMO. I think an opaque stem would be a missed opportunity. If you would have trouble telling them apart, maybe coloured transparent stems would be better?

The OP hasn't been updated but the stems will be transparent pink/blue and not opaque. I'm looking to get some renders made of the switches with the colour of the stems.
