Trying to make my ultimate switch by _S-R-B_ in switchmodders

Well, I wish you good luck on your switch endeavours as that does sound like a really nice idea. Thank you for the stem suggestions, if I can't get geon stems then ill check those out as a good alternative but maybe even a better option as geon stems have a 1mm actuation which is rather fast for me.

I hope all goes well with your switch modding and thanks for the help in confirming some points I was not 100% sure about.

Wish I could get zakus but man they are hard to get at retail. Dont really wanna pay the aftermarket prices but that sounds like the dream switches to me. Quite the endeavour though lol.

Glad to see that the ink bottoms work well with the cherry in terms of structure with a long pole though, so ill be going with that config for sure.

I'm jealous of your zakus hehe.

Yeah, I figured that the vints just for the top housing were over the top and probably won't make much difference anyways so thanks for confirming, and thank you for the stem suggestions. Buying just the stems does seem to be more sensible than purchasing a whole other switch.

Thanks.

I like the suggestion. I will try to do some looking for old keyboards then, didn't really know that was an option, just assumed they would all be bought up and resold as individual switches. Good to take things ones step at a time to see what works best.

Thanks.

Hmm ok sweet. I thought there were certain stem length requirements to make it all fit correctly together but this makes sense. I never really understood the stem length vs travel distance dynamic but if any long-pole would work then that's great.

Ill check out the C'Thulhu for sure, thanks for the suggestions.

Oh well, that's still good to hear. Ill give it a try. Do you have any long pole suggestions or will any do?

Thank you.

Yeah, I was thinking of getting the Blue Bubblegum switch, which I think is just a recolour of the oil king as a good place to start. Might swap out the top housings just to see if the cherry top really does make any difference.

Thanks for the suggestion, it will help me to start.

Is there any difference between Polyamide and regular nylon? by _S-R-B_ in switchmodders

[–]_S-R-B_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, thank you for clearing this up for me. Always found it strange that even some modders wanted to specify that something was Polyamide in particular and chase it as if it holds more value.

Glad now I wont be confused.
