Title: [IC] Sonic switches, the perfect match for GMK Wavez
Post by: EnjoyMyInSec on Tue, 12 March 2019, 19:22:40
Hi guys,

It's Enjoy here again bringing you guys some exciting news coming up! As the drop date for GMK Wavez is getting closer than ever, we are proud to announce some of the collaborations behind the scene with some other members of our community that I’ve been working on.

(https://i.postimg.cc/FKHQVjtF/Wavez-Tactile2.png)

This is an Interest Check for our new Sonic switches lineup to pair with your GMK Wavez keyset! The color of the stems and housings will be customized to fit with the main theme of Wavez. We are planning on doing only ONE round of these awesome Sonic switches, so get yours while you still can. We are considering two variants of Sonic switches offered in this buy – either tactile (KBD’s T1 switches) or linear (gateron yellows). Depending on the outcome of the voting polls, we will decide whether we would like to move forward with either one, or both.

Disclaimer: I will not be making any profit on these switches. I decided to do this as a token of goodwill due to the overwhelmed amount of support the community has been giving me throughout the Interest Check phase of GMK Wavez. Thank you everyone! I am very grateful for everything. Please help me filling out the poll if you are interested. It really helps a ton!

TLDR: Sonic switches. Two variants – tactile (KBD T1’s) or linear (gateron yellows). Customized colors.


The First switch :

Sonic (Tactile)

The tactile option of this switch would be the T1 by KBDfans (similar to the Holy Panda, GSUS, YOK, etc.)

Specs :

Manufacturer: KBDfans
Colors: Housing: Wavez modifiers color, Stem: Bright Green
Weight: 67cN bottom out
Pricing: $.55 each
MOQ: 25k pcs


(https://i.postimg.cc/mDcf0B20/Wavez-Tactile1.png)

The Second switch :

Sonic L (Linear)

The linear option of this switch would be produced by Gateron in a similar fashion to the Linjar by Emir

Specs :

Manufacturer: Gateron
Colors: Wavez alphas color, Stem: Bright Green
Weight: TBD
Pricing: TBD
MOQ: 20k pcs (est)

Finally, I would like to personally thank my friends for making this happen. All credits go them! This would not happen without their tremendous help.

1)   Visionaire for contacting me and motivated me to do such an amazing project and making the google form !
2)   Otanishock for helping me to draft that IC !

Let me know what you guys think, I'm counting on your feedback so please consider filling this google form for helping us out : https://goo.gl/forms/QuB2RHyk9mpDNYjR2

Cheers, Enjoy ~

EDIT : 03/20 : Unfortunatly guys we can't have Nylon housings for the T1 switches, so I wanted to know if it was a deal breaker for you or not ! We can only have them in transparent, let me know what you think about that !

I totally agree with you, and I'm actually a fan of clicky switches myself but I higly doubt a clicky switch will reach MOQ, I think nowadays people are more into linears and tactile switches

I'm trying to slow down my buying a bit so I probably won't be buying these. I did want to drop by and say good job though! This is awesome and would be an intabuy for me if I was joining Wavez. Look amazing, and it is much appreciated doing this pro bono. Stuff like this makes me really happy to be apart of this community.

So the T1s will be in opaque housing? This would be a great opportunity for tactile enthusiasts as the opaque housing could have better acoustics than the regular translucent housing. Any comment on that?

Linear or tactile? You can't trust stem-colours any more ...

This would be a great opportunity for tactile enthusiasts as the opaque housing could have better acoustics than the regular translucent housing.
Better durability and less friction too, right?

That's my question too, neither of the switches to be recoloured have full opaque housing, so it's not a simple recolour, I'd be all for the linear version if it's an all black opaque housing, Gateron have only offered that on the silents thus far I think.

Fingers crossed!

Gateron sells (or used to sell) all-black opaque non-silent switches as an OEM. My Ergodox EZ from 2017 had them. You can still buy them on Taobao but I'm not sure if they are still being made or if those are just old stock being cleared.

Questions that need answers! And yes you're quite right though I didn't know they were available on tao. AFAIK the opaque and transparent housings use different materials which in the case of the tops drastically effect the switch note on top out.

Should this be a recolour of the transparent gat tops we're used to seeing then personally it's a no from me, I'm not here for the colour, if it's a true black on black and they are still making them/capable of, then I'm all in.

Any input Enjoy?

You are right, the opaque housing is a different material. This was accomplished with the Gateron run for Linjar. Researching now, but seems like that's the desire of the folks who are interested, so we'll be marching in that direction.

Another vote here for true opaque housings. The color is nice, but not having to cannibalize Cherry switches for their tops is the real prize. The milky just doesn't cut it, sound is too high pitched.

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of answers !

Sadly we can't have nylon housings for the T1 switches, I was wondering if it was a deal breaker for you, or if it's still okay for you to have transparent housings ? feel free to share your thoughts ! I'm waiting for your feedback !

Sadly we can't have nylon housings for the T1 switches, I was wondering if it was a deal breaker for you, or if it's still okay for you to have transparent housings ? feel free to share your thoughts ! I'm waiting for your feedback !

I think I would still consider the tactile version of the Sonic switches if the transparent housings are smoother than the nylon housings would be

Based on color matching issues with the Linjar switches, it might be a good idea to set out how close of colors you are willing to accept without having to send the stems (I guess that would be it since you must do transparent housings now?) back to production due to color differences. Considering the set you're trying to match hasn't been produced yet, I'm curious to see how close the stems and your legends end up being. Seems to me you're trying to hit a moving target, but good luck with it.

Transparent as in crystal clear transparent or as in smoky green transparent? Colored could be fine, straight up clear housings just with different colored stems seems kinda meh.

Will the linear version just be recolored Gateron linears, then?

I might consider staying in the linear buy if they are milky tops. I'll certainly get fewer of both, though.

I'd be in for transparent T1's with the green stems, assuming timeline isn't too far out.

Any particular reason nylon housings for the T1's cant happen? Just curious.

That's rather sad. I wouldn't be interested in a clear housing myself.

Would be sick if each switch actuation made a "synth wave" sound  ;D  :p

They can, wei can do T1 in nylon. :)

Interested in the tactile variant. Less so if the housings were clear, but probably still.

just got some t1 switches from the recent restock. i love them coming from v1 zealios. i don't have any experience on pandas so i won't say anything there. the night housing looks pretty cool and i think it'd be close to what these switches would look like per the color scheme suggested.

to put this forward, it would be awesome if we could see if people are interested in getting this switch at a lighter weight. i'd love a 65g weighting since the 67g is slightly heavier than i am used to.

still interested in getting both the linear and tactile versions. :)

FYI - I spoke with Wei and the housings can, in fact, be nylon. The original comments about only being available in translucent housings was a mis-understanding.

Probably dead since T1 manufacturing is ceased.

Where did you hear this? Biip seems pretty confident in having the Koala switches continue on.

From the looks of it it seems like Koalas are going forward.... but that can be for different factors such as:

1. they are different composite i.e. not clear
2. they have a different spring

So either the leaf or the stem (maybe both) has been modified or the stem to prevent return issues that t1 and holy pandas have had with lighter springs.

Let's wait until the dust settles to get a clear view of what is happening.

As I understand it, the T1 switches were cancelled because the factory producing them was the same factory that produced the fake Tealios and KBDFans broke ties with them.  On the other hand, it seems as though Zeal has stopped the sale of epbt clear stabilizers as well, so maybe he got the T1 switches killed due to their similarity with Zealios?  Who really knows.  I don't really see why either the T1 or Koalas would have to be cancelled, since they're not fake versions of any switch.  Also, if the T1s are cancelled because of cutting ties with the factory, why doesn't this affect the Koalas?  I believe people have gotten refunds for T1 switches, but the Koala GB goes on?  Confusing drama.

The T1s that were ordered before all this went down are actually going to be fulfilled, I just don't believe they will be making any more with this factory.

I've also seen that Gateron isn't doing custom color switches anymore, any word on this?

Haven't bothered Wei since all of this came out, but would be skeptical about the T1 switches at the moment. I wasn't working with Gateron, so can't speak to what they are / are not willing to do for the linears.

Is this switch release still a thing? Just got into the keyboard market and potentially picked up a set of GMK Wavez.

Just submitted the IC Google web form. Still looks like a clean, mean, green switch idea.
