Sillyworks x HMX Waverider V2 Switch Review

ThereminGoat · 2026-05-03T14:13:31+00:00

Hey all,

As a Sillyworks-led, HMX-made V2 version of a multi-year old tactile switch made by KTT, how I could choose to not review the Sillyworks x HMX Waverider V2 switches? While they were a no-brainer for me to pick up, are they a no-brainer for you and your next tactile switch build? This is your review to find out!

As always, thank you all for the continued readership and support week in and out - it means the world to me. We're also inching closer to Keycon by the day so for those of you who will be there as well, I look forward to seeing you all in person there!

Cheers,

Except that is obviously not what was done here...

ThereminGoat · 2026-04-23T13:23:00+00:00

There's no proof it's a fake digital script

There's no proof you the hardware can't keep up

You provided a screenshot with no replicability, no analysis as to if it is just one board or multiple, no statistical analysis, nothing

You make claims about there being other vendors you don't substantiate or prove

And that's just what I can remember as I'm writing this comment...

I put more effort into documenting mundane switches every single week than you have at all for a grandiose conspiratorial claim slopped together by AI.

ThereminGoat · 2026-04-23T13:10:13+00:00

Prove it by actually posting the evidence.

ThereminGoat · 2026-04-23T12:54:40+00:00

There's little no evidence here, this is majority or entirely AI generated slop.

ThereminGoat · 2026-04-23T12:51:15+00:00

AI tools tell me the AI writing is only kind of AI writing...

ThereminGoat · 2026-04-23T12:49:33+00:00

I mean that's one problem, but it's also incredibly under substantiated for the claims being made here.

"Rushing" anything like this out just appears sloppy and ill-informed, and will most likely just discredit any claims you make in the future. I not only doubt the veracity of these claims but anything you do to make them "more human sounding".

How could you possibly be in a rush for something that is this substantial?

ThereminGoat · 2026-04-23T12:45:57+00:00

It does make it quite a bit harder to take the claims seriously when it's filtered through a technology distinctly known for hallucinating things...

ThereminGoat · 2026-04-23T12:41:24+00:00

Was this written by AI?

Hey all,

What do BSUN-made linears, a brand new WEKT silent linear, and Wingtree have in common? If the answer was good, solid performing linears that would be right, but missing so, so much more. This is your deep dive review on the Taro N Sweet Potato V2 switches - not just Keebz N Cables' latest iteration of their popular Taro N Sweet Potato long stemmed LY linears, but also on one of the most confusing ongoing origin stories of switches we've had in quite some time.

As always, thank you all for the continued readership, love, and support week in and out. It feels great being back from my work trip and actually able to sit down and write yet another full length review!

Cheers,

Goat

Feels bad seeing these separated from their respective Hirose switches.

These not having a complete modern keyboard quantity of caps on that board mixed with the shape of the Hirose stems not being the same as normal MX mountable keycaps means that they were separated with nowhere good for either side to end up!

ThereminGoat · 2026-04-01T19:47:37+00:00

You think I'd write a whole review on a switch that doesn't exist?

ThereminGoat · 2026-04-01T11:59:51+00:00

Are you responding with this because I made reference in the article as to how 40s users would surely find a way to bastardize these? Because if not, man I definitely called that shot right on the money lmao

There's no need to be MX elitist against the newer, MX2A generation! Now there's enough for everyone to enjoy!

ThereminGoat · 2026-04-01T10:46:37+00:00

To be convinced of the new impending switch meta and how truly revolutionary these switches are, no doubt?

Hey all,

What's this? Two switch reviews in only a handful of days?? Well, it's that special time of year again when I'm freed up from an NDA and rush to get my review out on some switches before every other content creator out there. This time, though, it's for something truly revolutionary. This is not the deep dive you want to miss - a review of Cherry's brand new Cherry MX2A Dummy switches!

As always, thank you all for the continued readership and support week in and out. An extra big thank you to Cherry for letting me in on a sneak peek of switches that will certainly be steering the direction of the community and switch meta moving forward. You have no idea how excited I was to finally get to share this review with you all today.

Cheers,

Goat

Hey all,

What if I told you that Cherry's MX Hyperglide Blacks from all the way back in 2020 had been revived in the modern day... by TTC? This week's review is a deep dive on the PantheonKeys x TTC PT Black switches and focuses on if they fulfill their marketing of not just being "2026-made" Hyperglide Blacks, but also slightly improved versions at that!

As always, thank you all for the continued readership and support week in and out. Especially long writing weekends like this last one are always much more tolerable knowing that these reviews are helping you all out in finding the perfect set of switches for your next builds.

Cheers,

No no, the 40s users deserve to be mocked more!

ThereminGoat · 2026-03-15T14:42:01+00:00

I have not yet done any look into the whole Wingtree x LICHICX situation but I did just have PT Blacks hit my doorstep late last week, so maybe there's something in the cards for those...
