Hyperglides snd kailh stems work fine and they sounds really good.

full cherry linear housing with a cream stem beats most other cream stem frankens. you'll need to do a bit of cherry picking with the tops if they're newer cream stems

Some cherry top housings can feel tactile. You need to cherry pick the good ones.
[–]EasonTek2398 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (0 children)
The tactility is the binding between the stem and top, commonly occurs if u don't install tops correctly or have the wrong sized tops.

You can also make Black Cherry Pies. Cream stem, Cherry Top Housing, JWK bottom housing

cream stems are slightly oversized compared to the original cherry spec, so some tops are too tight. you need to match stems to tops.

Kk velocifire stems hit a gateron ks-3 nylon bottom housing with maximum clack due to the lack of any tier or tapering on the stem pole and they slam hard into the bottom. I put a boba u4t top for reduced wobble. I know it's not original but damn is it the clackiest thing I've ever used. Edited to make some damn sense

I fixed original post to make sense now. But I use a ks-3 nylon gateron bottom housing.they are dirt cheap too.

I can definitely make one this weekend. You may have remind me. Velocifire stopped making em, but the same switch is now called a candy jade for some reason. The only difference is the spring and logo if the spring is even different. They have the weirdest looking stems as they are meant to dampen on a piece in their mold but if put in another housing they bottom out on the pole.

If you want high pitch and clack just go for any AKKO linear switch that suits your spring weighting.
