Hello Geekhack!
I'm currently building my second custom mech. For a long time I've used a GK61X with Glorious Pandas for work and a HyperX Cherry Red for gaming. Now the HyperX is dying, and I'm looking for a set of linears to put in my KBD67 Lite R2. Everything will be lubed with 205g0 and filmed with deskeys! I plan on using KAT keycaps and the silicon fill from KBD-Fans. In the future i'll be putting in some Durock stabs
My initial thoughts were Gateron Black Ink V2s. I love their deep sound profile, which I think will fit the muted KBD67 well, and their smoothness. They are on the steeper side though, and I've heard horrorstories of getting bad batches. I think I'll have to spring swap these, coming from a very light Cherry MX Red, but I'm not sure yet. I guess I'll have to try them.
My second thought were the Durock Poms. I know they aren't quiet as deep as Inks, but I've heard they're quiet smooth and deeper than Alpacas and recolours but not as smooth.
I've gotten Tecsee Carrot Linears recommended on Discord, and I'm quiet intrigued with their sound as I can't find that many good demos - but aparantly they sound quiet unique in a good way. They're also a great price!
I know lavenders are great too, but they're hard to find in EU afaik.
Does anyone have some good recommendations / thoughts?
