It was originally posted in the gb section but mods moved it to artisans for some reason.

I think a lot of orders came in through Discord, where it was first announced.

Got mine today.  They are lookers for sure.  Going to go in my antique TX84se when it gets here.  A bit scratchy, but most of it is the spring.  The inside is completely dry.  There is no lubrication anywhere.  I consider that a good thing since most of us will certainly want to apply our own in different places.  I put 3204 on the spring and it was instantly much smoother.  I think a touch of 3203 or 3024 on the legs will make it perfect.  I usually don't like to lube the side rails on my linears b/c I don't like the way it makes them feel a bit sluggish on slow press. 

These are nice switches.  Thanks for running the Group Buy on Geekhack.

Trying them stock in a hotswap it definitely has a busy mattress thing going on... although I do like the weight, even though I usually like heavier springs.
At least there's plenty to try out in different configs since I got 200, heh.
The color is excellent!

Put some thicker lube on that spring and enjoy the smoothness.

How do these switches compare to tealios?

slightly heavier spring. Not as smooth out of the box.  Prettier

How do they compare to tealios with swapped springs. I like the look of these and the price a lot more. But I really like the feel of tealios. They're sooooo smoooth. So I'm curious if these can compare with a spring swap and lube

They sound and feel just like any other milky-top Gateron linear. The custom springs and custom color are the special parts.

have to say that the new version is pretty nice.  Not noticeably different, but the redesigned spring is a granular improvement.  I like them a lot.  Would do nice with a very light coating of 3203 or 3204, but also acceptable without lube.  Nice switch.  But I am Gateron fanboy I suppose.

Me too, I love Gaterons & Kailh (well, new kailhs). My Fei switches were just delivered today. Also, joined the GID, Linjar gbs. Bought 60 inks from a friend. & looking forward to TKC's tangerines rd 2.

It was originally looking like mine might arrive today, but they didn't make it to the local post office for delivery. So I'll probably get them Monday, now.  Can't wait to try 'em out for myself though!
(And I, too, am waiting for the Linjars as well.  Some rather interesting switch projects lately...)
