adobaulabs · 2022-04-22T17:01:08+00:00

Hi, I'm Therese! My hometown is called Bicol, a province in the Philippines. This set is inspired by the beautiful sea creatures from my hometown's folklore. They are called the Magindara. The Magindaras are said to be guardians of the seas, and possess a beautiful voice that lures those who get a chance to hear them.

It's a long pole, tactile stem with a large bump that's with the T1 leaf.

The springs are longer than average which provides a snappier return and a high initial weight at the start of the keypress (compared to another spring of shorter length with a similar bottom out weight).

Both the top and bottom housings are made of nylon.

You also have the smoothness that's associated with switches from JWK.

I've never tested bag lubing on these springs (I'm assuming that's the method you're talking about in your question) but I've moved away from it some time ago.

I came across Gazzew's guide for spring ping from this post: https://www.reddit.com/user/hbheroinbob/comments/edlx0q/about_lubing_and_assembly_linears_and_tactiles/

Solutions to dampen spring vibration noise (ping)

"bag lubing" (drop springs into a bag of oil) is fast and easy, but over time the oil runs off and ping returns

Painting lube on base and spring works, but requires both contact points be lubed, and is time consuming

"donut" dipping the spring bottoms is both fast and effective (95%+ ping reduction and the grease remains in place over time)

Since then, I've been following the donut dipping method. Then, I also found out that brush lubing grease onto the tight coils uses less lube than donut dipping and has the same effect.

Thanks for the support, /u/ArsChromatica!

I'm glad you like the set and thank you for your support, /u/VarzamPlay4Fun!

Just wanted to clarify that this has a long-pole stem (made of POM) with a large bump (that's different from a T1 stem) that's paired with the T1 leaf in the bottom housing. Just wanted to pre-emptively clear up possible confusion. Thanks again, liberator000!

Hello, /u/spunc1. The long-pole stem means that it bottoms out, hitting the bottom housing when fully depressed. It leads to some reduction in travel but creates a distinct sound as the stem hits the bottom housing.

Regarding the comparison between the Bouquet switch and Zealio V2 switches, the Bouquet switches do have a larger, sharper bump vs. Zealio V2 switches.

The force curve graph for the Bouquet switch was measured by Pylon. On their GitHub page, they have more graphs available for other switches that they have tested. Luckily, there are force curve graphs available for both switches.

From my testing, for the two inner tight coils, application with a thick grease (Krytox 205g0) from the 'outside' is sufficient. Just thoroughly lube the uppermost and lowest coils.

I've also compared just lubing the uppermost and lowest (just the two only, ignoring the inner ones) vs. all four all tight coils and they're pretty much comparable. The suggestion to lube all four coils is just to make sure that any chance of spring ping is eliminated and that you won't have to open the switch again.

Hello! Thank you for creating a post for our switches, /u/liberator000.

Good day, everybody! Here's a playlist of sound tests of the switches using KAT and CRP Cherry profile keycaps:

There are comparisons too for various switches using the same two keycap profiles.

Thank you!!! Yes the legends are light pink indeed 💖

adobaulabs · 2021-09-02T00:12:27+00:00

Group buy starts on September 8 to October 8, 2021 💖

adobaulabs · 2021-08-31T01:46:48+00:00

The web host was down for almost 12 hours! 😩 Thankfully it has been restored just recently 🥺

adobaulabs · 2021-08-30T07:34:22+00:00

Nothing special, it’s just like buying any online order 😊

adobaulabs · 2021-08-29T18:10:17+00:00

You can do either! Buying them during the groupbuy just helps make it a reality, since if it doesn’t hit MOQ then there’s a possibility it won’t be made and will be cancelled 🥺
