Hello folks.
I recently received a batch of these films from Kin (Maker of TX boards and other things) in South Korea and I am quite happy about their effectiveness in reducing wobble, especially as a sucker for SA keycaps. They also make for a 'tighter' switch, affecting sound as well.
Here is a short video I made that demonstrates their effect:

Since getting them from South Korea can be quite the hassle, I have decided I'd try my hands at making a group buy for these to help out fellow western enthusiasts to get their hands on them. Initially I wanted to make this GB EU only and be more of a proxy for Kin here so not everyone has to run to the customs office for a few films, but seeing there is only a National and International tariff for shipping, I might as well cover CONUS and Canada etc too. From what I can tell Americans never have to go to the customs office for small stuff like this anyways. But I can only guarantee a customs-free experience for fellow EU people.
Advantages over vinyl stickers: No glue involved, makes for easier reopening and removal if desired. Also installing is much quicker as you don't have to peel them off the sheet and they keep sticking on stuff you don't want them on. Effectiveness is also arguably better, having heard many reports of "no noticeable effect" from people using vinyl stickers, but I have not compared this myself.
Install: Open your switch, place the film onto the bottom piece, close the switch. Usually done when doing other modifications to the switch at the same time such as swapping springs and/or lubing.
