Hey all,
 
In an unprecedented fashion from what I can remember, I'm back with a second silent tactile switch review in a row. However, these just aren't any switch - they're the newest Cherry C-Lab designed switch featuring a new spring, a new platform that hasn't yet been received worldwide, and even improved factory lubing. Trust me when I say that the Cherry MX Emerald Reefs aren't just your average Cherry switch...

As always, thank you all for the continued readership and support each and every month. As I share at the top end of this article, it has been a rather crazy couple of weeks in between this review and the last one and knowing you all would be excited by these switches and their performance really helped me power through this one!

Cheers,

Hey all! I'm happy to announce an upcoming group buy for another SMRT R2 child kit, tailored specifically to the Doo; a Wyse-inspired keyboard designed by iSeS, that can make use of a number of rare vintage keys, including mirrored stepped 2.5u R4 Ctrls (found on the WY-55), and mISO Enters, and a 9.75u spacebar (both found on the WY-85).



The main cluster mod keys are alpha grey, to match the look of the WY-85, where only the nav cluster and function row were mod-colored. You can choose from the more faithful icon Backspace, or a modern left-aligned text version. There's also a blue accent mISO key to match the blue keys from the SMRT base and accent kits.

The group buy will run from November 12th through December 13th, through most of the same vendors who ran the SMRT R2 group buy (TypistClub, Divinikey, Toro, Geon, ProtoTypist, and Ilumkb).
