It pains me to read how you complain about the shipping cost. That she has grown. Dear big.
I’ve bought CXA switches and keycaps and it cost the same to ship as the whole order.
I think they ship out of Rhode Island, so it’s 1 CONUS away from you
Definitely!
Mystery solved!
Yikes! Where are you located?
One of my issues with tactiles is the sound, even with U4Ts I was hearing leaf ping and it drove my crazy.

That KDA profile is looking really interesting.
The second set even includes the rare 1.75u “Contorl” key
Ouch.
Geon’s secret project with Cherry was…to bring back the Nixie!

Saw that. Pretty nifty. I never tried nixies. I’m going to assume a hyperglide with a milky top will feel nothing like a nixie tho… lol
Looks like it’s gonna be here by early 2023. Excited, thanks for posting this!
Agreed. It’s tough to top the worn-in smoothness of vintage switches but I’m excited about this nonetheless. If nothing else, it’s exciting to see even Cherry getting in on making more custom switches.
NovelKeys has a pre-order up for them.
This may have been posted before, but it’s super tempting to grab a set for shits and gigs. Anyone tried these XVX keycaps
Yes! Really great quality for price IMO. Even if they do have those infernal centered homing nips [ • ]
I have that xvx set. They’re very good - nice plastic, not-ugly legends, lots of extra keys for different layouts. Definitely worth the $15 I paid.
I assumed from the pictures that they were sphericals, but they’re actually cylindrical. And they have a surprisingly pronounced sculpt. So I actually like to type on them, unlike xda, dsa, mda, csa etc (which look nice, but send my typing-error rate through the roof).
Is this version come pre-lubed ?
If not this looks quite expensive, considering that you’ll have to replace the spring anyway.
It will be available in pre-lubed and dry versions - not sure who will have which though.
