Ya it isn't hard to over look a group buy is you don't check frequently enough

Got the plates finaly @Charger

 

But, a problem.

The right plate is great, despite the thinner aluminum, switches are firm in place. However, the left plate the switches slide up and down and side to side. Im going to have to have him remake it. But I can build the left keyboard, as they are basically seperate keyboards.

Are those the Gateron switches? How do they preform compared to the cherry switches?

Purple zealios, so really nicely.

 

Nice and un scratchy compared to cherrys, though they dont directly compare to any other than possible ergo clears.

 

Stems are more wiggly though, but less wigly than matias

What are they weighted like? I have only looked at cherry stuff.

I added more to the post above

 but mine are the 65g. They are avalible in 62, 65, 67, and 78g 

But they feel a little lighter due to smoothness

They look really nice! 

For me, I have never found Cherry switch to feel scratchy. However I am using Blues and greens.

They are quite nice. I didnt really find cherry scratchy, but I can definatly feel it now when I do a side by side comparison. Especialy with my mx locks.

who cares they are beautiful... lol

 

I think they are a custom run of gateron in an mx clear style with clear tops gold plated springs. I hear they are much smoother then new cherry switches but i have never tried them.

i notice cherry being gritty when moving from old cherry to new cherry. I even noticed it moving from old blacks to new greens.

Yeah, they have clear tops, gold springs/contact/pins, smoothness, and pretty purple stems. They are like mx clears aparently, but smoother. I have never used mx clears, but yeah, they feel like harder browns, but smoother, and posibly a more distinct bump. They feel more like matias quiet click, possibly with less agressive bump. And unlike my alps skfs on my apple adjustable keyboard, when I lift my finger slow, they dont feel like they will get stuck on the bump
