So far, many HMX switches turned out to be favorites (Moonlight, BlueStar, Reze, RetroJ, Hydra...).
For Kailh, it's only the Box Brown V2 for their unique crispiness, reminding me of microswitches found in mice.
Probably gonna post an update by the end of the year, along with some other stuff, if I find enough time to do so.
Yes, the BOX Browns and Whites, and their crispness, has not been matched by too many modern switches. [I think Gateron Lanes are closer to these BOX switches than to HMX or Wingtree.]
I recently found Wingtree Camellia to be very nice Brown-intensity switches [sharper, poppier, faster], and HMX TT RED S to be excellent, rounded Brown analogues.

Haven't tried them. Just did a quick search...
"They use a internal leaf-spring mechanism inspired by vintage Alps SKCM Orange" Sound's very interesting >.>
Even tho medium-heavy would be preferred over medium-light, I will check them. Thanks for pointing these out!
Yes. You might want to get these while you can.
I think they were created by someone who is on this forum, and others.
The Gateron Melodics could be modified into a 'quiet-clicky,' which is essentially what the Lanes are. A quiet-clicky based on an ALPS-like leaf. It was possible to standardize the modification, and have Gateron produce it. [Which is a lot easier than modding x87 or so Gateron Melodics.]
People have found that, in order to obtain maximum tactility, it is best to use thin keycaps. For example, modern DCS.
I went the opposite route, and turned them into light-tactiles by using SA PBT. So the choice of keycaps does matter with these.

You've got your peeps on the playground.
Murkika is the historical best trader, he's locked away every holo-foil pokemon card in the vault, The only few holos are locked up by his buddies, everyone else is stuck trading worthless ponytas and ratatas.
Alrite, Russia and the entire global south crew goes, um, this is stupid, I'm gonna play Magic the gathering instead.
Murkika gets realll mad, HOW DARE YOU Play Magic the gathering !!!, the Audacity, you are now BANNED from trading Pokemon cards.
Russia, ok?, Starts a Magic the Gathering group.
More and more people now play Magic the gathering, annnnnnd, it's reached critical mass. People don't want pokemon nemore.
THAT is the $FIAT Currency system$, it's really not any more complicated Than That.
The US does not have a monopoly on any material which MUST be exchanged with PokemonCards.
If you add up all the global south, energy resources, it's around 50% give or take, equivalent to what the west controls.
So, if they want to Play Magic the Gathering, You Can't Stop Them.

From the first Cavemen who discovered how to make fire by burning wood, to the industrial revolution burning coal to power steam-engines.
The only option to get away from that is turning back to "animal level", or finding a magical way to generate utopic levels of energy like in Sci-Fi.
In the meantime, I enjoy my KFC while doing online-shopping. Because, there is nothing much else to do. Being aware of that, doesn't help either.
There is what we "need." food/water
There is "entertainment." mintendooSwich
When technology crossed the threshold on "needs." Everything which comes after is "entertainment."
You may see it as shopping, or steamdeck, or AI, or KFC, and you MAY FEEL COMPELLED to possess such things, but they are not biological necessities.
So, how far humanity goes to destroy itself over things that it fundamentally DOES NOT NEED, that's a choice everyone makes.
By definition, you can not have ENOUGH of something you Don't-Need.
and that is why Consumerism is a Run-Away-Train.
It kills all the trees, kills all the whales, kills the Coral Reefs, kills the mangroves, Kills the rainforest.
If you follow mankind's progpogation out of Africa, humans have turned everywhere they went into Lifeless Deserts.
EGYPT had endless fields of forest, grain and water, all gone, so did the the middle east, past tajikistan, now Xinjiang, DESERTS.
The Americas, where Redwoods scratched the heavens, Fast becoming deserts as well. Brazil, rapidly destroy the rainforest to plant soybeans and grass to feed Cows. We feed 21-25 calories to pull 1 calorie out of a "cow" as meat/milk.
So you see, the choices one makes everyday matters, and when you're stuck in loop of consumerist culture, welp, hope the kids are ready for the Fury Road, That is our legacy.
You are not leaving your kids, your apartment, you rags, your stuff, you're leaving them a lifelong struggle along Death valley.

« Last post by phinix on Tue, 27 October 2026, 10:53:23 »Watched The Village for the 1st time. Is this movie supposed to be scary? It felt like it would have been a great 20minute short, but to drag it out to a film. There was no meat to this movie, and the 'threat' was nonexistant. I don't understand why there was a 'monster' at all, when it did absolutely nothing. I never really understood the hype behind M. Night, even his best film is only OK at best.
I'd rather rewatch The VVitch for the 20th time
Oh yeah, is that they one with some small village surrounded with woods and those lookout towers, they cannot go out there etc?
It was weird, beginning was misterious, but it lost it quickly.
