Linear Switches
« on: Wed, 08 July 2020, 10:24:28 »
I have a 65% build rn tofu case, DZ65 hot-swap PCB, gmk screw-in stabs lubed clipped and band-aid modded, brass plate, mx blue switches, and some banggood keycaps. I am waiting on my gmk henneseys to come one, but before that, I would like to upgrade to some high-quality linear switches. I would be lubing and need some recommendations on switches and lube. I have been looking at novel keys creams and tealios v2, but I just can't make up my mind. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions?

Some actual advice on the switches you asked about.

If you prefer sound, Creams
If you prefer feel, Tealios

For me,  (especially lubed) Creams are the better overall experience of the two. They can be quite smooth and get better with time. Tealios is a fun experience for your fingers, but will likely never sound better.

Something else to consider is I find the tolerances (size) of Teallios. I have found them to be a bit large and you may have some issues getting them into a brass plate (and they are a PITA to get back out).

Having said that, you mentioned your PCB is Hotswap, so I would pick one and give it a go. If you take care of them, you should be able to sell them later if you decide you do not like them. All anyone can tell you is what they liked (and experienced). Enjoy the ride and see what works for you.
