Twilight Switches

Group Buy May 12th-May 22nd. Estimated to ship around mid-July, followed by an in-stock sale around then.

• New, very tactile JWK switch combining their Clear-like tactile stem with their T1 leaf
• 5-pin housing
• POM Stem (purple), PC top and nylon bottom (smoky gray)
• 67g spring
• Unlubed
• By Pylon and brainandforce

Twilights are not a JWK recolor. It was born out of a JWK frankenswitch combo that Pylon and brainandforce discovered independently while experimenting: combining the MX Clear-like stem from a Durock Medium Tactile switch with the tactile leaf of the Durock T1 housing. The result is a sharp, punchy, tactile switch, with just a bit of pretravel. Imagine a smoother, much more tactile Ergo Clear. A tactile switch as intense as an NK_ Blueberry that can hold its own at lighter spring weights.



If you want a taste of what this switch feels like, you can use the stem off a Durock Medium Tactile, Mode Signal, Penguin, or RARA V2, and pair it with the housing from a Durock T1 or Koala. We are making this a pre-assembled switch so you can avoid the hassles and costs of frankenswitching.

Last day! Our vendors will also have extras in stock, but it will likely be at a higher price.

Boring color changes

Got the Twilights in, the feel of the leaf is basically identical to Crane tactiles. Obviously the Twilights are better tho. I mean, they're purple.

On extended use, I'd say the Twilight housing is 10-20% more snappy, without moving the tactile event. The force curve graph seems very accurate. They feel a lot better with lighter springs.

Is this something you'd ever consider coming back and doing a R2 for? I enjoy mine quite a lot, but would like to be able to grab a few dozen more for use in other boards!
