[IC] Sonic switches, the perfect match for GMK Wavez

[EnjoyMyInSec]

Hi guys,

It's Enjoy here again bringing you guys some exciting news coming up! As the drop date for GMK Wavez is getting closer than ever, we are proud to announce some of the collaborations behind the scene with some other members of our community that I’ve been working on.



This is an Interest Check for our new Sonic switches lineup to pair with your GMK Wavez keyset! The color of the stems and housings will be customized to fit with the main theme of Wavez. We are planning on doing only ONE round of these awesome Sonic switches, so get yours while you still can. We are considering two variants of Sonic switches offered in this buy – either tactile (KBD’s T1 switches) or linear (gateron yellows). Depending on the outcome of the voting polls, we will decide whether we would like to move forward with either one, or both.

Disclaimer: I will not be making any profit on these switches. I decided to do this as a token of goodwill due to the overwhelmed amount of support the community has been giving me throughout the Interest Check phase of GMK Wavez. Thank you everyone! I am very grateful for everything. Please help me filling out the poll if you are interested. It really helps a ton!

TLDR: Sonic switches. Two variants – tactile (KBD T1’s) or linear (gateron yellows). Customized colors.

The First switch :

Sonic (Tactile)

The tactile option of this switch would be the T1 by KBDfans (similar to the Holy Panda, GSUS, YOK, etc.)

Specs :

Manufacturer: KBDfans
Colors: Housing: Wavez modifiers color, Stem: Bright Green
Weight: 67cN bottom out
Pricing: $.55 each
MOQ: 25k pcs




The Second switch :

Sonic L (Linear)

The linear option of this switch would be produced by Gateron in a similar fashion to the Linjar by Emir

Specs :

Manufacturer: Gateron
Colors: Wavez alphas color, Stem: Bright Green
Weight: TBD
Pricing: TBD
MOQ: 20k pcs (est)




Finally, I would like to personally thank my friends for making this happen. All credits go them! This would not happen without their tremendous help.

1)   Visionaire for contacting me and motivated me to do such an amazing project and making the google form !
2)   Otanishock for helping me to draft that IC !

Let me know what you guys think, I'm counting on your feedback so please consider filling this google form for helping us out : https://goo.gl/forms/QuB2RHyk9mpDNYjR2

Cheers, Enjoy ~

EDIT : 03/20 : Unfortunatly guys we can't have Nylon housings for the T1 switches, so I wanted to know if it was a deal breaker for you or not ! We can only have them in transparent, let me know what you think about that !

[click clack jack]

Wow!! Damn these are amazing. I saw on top clack that T1's are very close to the zealio. These will be fixed leaf right?

[Visionaire]

I'm in.

Just glad you took to the idea and happy to help in the process.

I think you should do a lighter green with 40 g bottom out.

[Tom_Kazansky]

just my opinion, isn't Wavez ~ sound related? why don't you make clicky switches?  )
do people dislike clicky switches that much?

I totally agree with you, and I'm actually a fan of clicky switches myself but I higly doubt a clicky switch will reach MOQ, I think nowadays people are more into linears and tactile switches

Thanks a lot !

[hsunwoo1221]

Looking forward to these! and Wavez itself too 

[Dead Encryption]

This sounds cool, I'm down to clown

lol, I can't read that phrase without hearing Hueys voice saying it

[appaboy]

Finally some razer greens getting some love  ) 

jk, im def. interested in these 

[Starston3]

These def look like rezer greens.

but I'm in for recolored t1.

[ever9415]

It is really beautiful.
I like linear, so I am interested in the Sonic L switch.
When is GB?

[oldcat]

love for enjoy, wavez, and sonic

[AlcoholEnthusiast]

I'm trying to slow down my buying a bit so I probably won't be buying these. I did want to drop by and say good job though! This is awesome and would be an intabuy for me if I was joining Wavez. Look amazing, and it is much appreciated doing this pro bono. Stuff like this makes me really happy to be apart of this community.

[wellbeing44]

So the T1s will be in opaque housing? This would be a great opportunity for tactile enthusiasts as the opaque housing could have better acoustics than the regular translucent housing. Any comment on that?

[Emir]

Good luck! 👏🏻

[Findecanor]

Linear or tactile? You can't trust stem-colours any more ...

Better durability and less friction too, right?

wtb razer greens

[Vadurr]

Interested in both as long as they have opaque housings 

[ChrisSwires]

Interested in both as long as they have opaque housings 

That's my question too, neither of the switches to be recoloured have full opaque housing, so it's not a simple recolour, I'd be all for the linear version if it's an all black opaque housing, Gateron have only offered that on the silents thus far I think.

Fingers crossed!

Gateron sells (or used to sell) all-black opaque non-silent switches as an OEM. My Ergodox EZ from 2017 had them. You can still buy them on Taobao but I'm not sure if they are still being made or if those are just old stock being cleared.

[_ODIN_]

Opaque housings please!!!!!!

That is the desire. Have questions out to verify.

Really looking forward to these switches. I will be in for both switch types.
Keep up the great work!

Questions that need answers! And yes you're quite right though I didn't know they were available on tao. AFAIK the opaque and transparent housings use different materials which in the case of the tops drastically effect the switch note on top out.

Should this be a recolour of the transparent gat tops we're used to seeing then personally it's a no from me, I'm not here for the colour, if it's a true black on black and they are still making them/capable of, then I'm all in.

Any input Enjoy?

You are right, the opaque housing is a different material. This was accomplished with the Gateron run for Linjar. Researching now, but seems like that's the desire of the folks who are interested, so we'll be marching in that direction.

Another vote here for true opaque housings. The color is nice, but not having to cannibalize Cherry switches for their tops is the real prize. The milky just doesn't cut it, sound is too high pitched.

Gateron offers only nylon 66; at least that's what I was offered. They're good and smooth, though.

[Ashardalon]

Novelty coloured switches? Count me in!

[bciamny]

i vote both.

[upas]

Is 2019 the year of the colored switches? These are amazing! Definitely in for both, as long as the linears are Gat yellows.

[jortzii]

In for tactile for sure! Green colored things need more representation in the hobby imo. GL!
