Cherry RGB Nature Whites

[Dr.Hades]

I just recently found out about these switches while looking for the parts to a build. What are these? I've never heard of them in my life and there is like one video with someone typing with them unlubed , (Also of course they sound scratchy). I know they're a linear between Reds and Blacks but they seem very strange compared to the MX norm.

I’ve recently tried a ducky one tkl my coworker bought with nature whites. They are really impressive. The weighting is between a red and black. Linear and pretty smooth stock. Where did you find loose switches?

They were in stock on Novelkeys in the Cherry Switch section. 30 cents a switch and 3.00 USD for 10.

Also your keeb sleeves are very impressive even if you aren't the maker. Do you plan on making a return of them or was it not bountiful enough?

much thanks man. my sister got busy when she started going to school. she graduated last year but seems to have shifted hobbies to succulents so I don't think she'll go back to making them.

From my experience with Cherry switches, they really do benefit from a long break in period. Nature whites can be a high tier switch if you put off lubing it for like 5 months and have a small number of keys (60% or lower) and then lube them. My first board with reds feel like tealios at this point when lubed, I broke them in for a year.

Any switch benefits from a long break in period but I get what you mean by cherry specifically as a lot of the friction comes from microscopic nylon plastic shavings inside the nylon housings of the switch being destroyed by the friction of the stem after a while. That's one of the weird things about these Cherries though is that they look like they have a "milky" Gateron style housing instead of the basic black nylon that Cherry are more easily identified by.

BTW. Other linear switches with weighting between Red and Black tend to have Yellow stems.

This switch had been made for Ducky to be optimised for backlighting: Translucent white stem, translucent bottom and clear top. Ducky called it "Cherry MX Linear RGB White"

I'm not sure how nature whites feel, but i really want to get my hands on linear and tactile greys. I wonder how those feel

Yeah super heavy. Have one on a switch tester. It is definitely heavier than the heaviest Zealio. Closest thing on the switch tester is probably the 100g Aliaz.

At best, those are going to be on a macropad. Too heavy for me.

If I understand correctly, the black housings are made from a softer plastic which would be broken in in a shorter period of time. My experience with the Reds I mentioned where the completely clear housings which I believe are a harder polycarbonate plastic. The milky tops likely would be somewhere in the middle in terms of hardness, but I could be wrong. Regardless, if you are committed to using nature whites for a period of time without lubing them, they will most certainly do you well, but most people will opt to buy an already smooth switch and forgo the process completely. I'm sure any switch other than the linear Cream switches could benefit from an unlubed breakin period, so I would use any switch unlubed for a period of time anyways. I've heard of some people using cherry stems on Tealio housings for a month and then switching back the stems for a second breakin month, but YMMV on this controversial act.
