Alright. You guys get a two-fer this evening - and two more Dragon Fruit frankens before I move on to something else for a bit.
PB & J
- Dragon Fruit housing
- Gazzew U4T stem
- Spring is down to preference
- Very clacky
- Crazy short travel
- Still works normally w/ synced bump
Think of this as a high-tactility speed switch.
Flavor-text:
Kind of like the Holy Dragon, but “more” when it comes to their defining features.
I don’t have the means to measure it, but this switch has a very short travel for a full-sized mx-compatible; easily the shortest I’ve used. The bump remains synced with actuation despite the short throw, though this does make it all but impossible not to bottom-out.
This snappy snack is even more clacky and short-throw than its Halo-stemmed cousin, making this one of the more unique frankenswitches I’ve tried.
Credit goes to @patcoll for suggesting this!
Bonus switch!
Raspberry Limeade
- Dragon Fruit housing
- Gateron Ink Kangaroo stem & spring
- Drown that spring in lube 'cause she rattles
- Sharp, crisp, & short top-bump
- Might look more dragon-fruity than the original
Mostly about aesthetics, this crisp tactile feels much like the stem & spring donor - though some sacrifice is made for the looks.
Flavor-text:
The original switch might look a bit like a dragon fruit sliced open, but this switch looks more like one from the outside. I mostly wanted to include it here for that reason, and I haven’t done a purely “just for fun” switch in a while.
Credit goes to @ajoflo for suggesting a longer spring might help overcome bump-hitch, which this switch definitely suffered from when using the Dragon Fruit spring.
