What did you get in the mail today? (Part 2)

I’ll keep looking then. Give me a heads up if you see them anywhere.

If I’m understanding correctly that you mean the is0GR, sign up for CannonKeys’ newsletter and they’ll notify when the extras are in stock. They usually put them on the store after the two-week period following a group buy so they’re sure they’ve made all the GB participants whole first.

Got those Maiz clip in stabs in from Bolsa today! They’re for sure the same thing as the Pagu & Wuque Stupid stabs @Neprawda showed here before, these ones are just all black. They definitely seem promising though! You can see the wire clip on the housing & the wire pocket in the slider are double shot with TPU. So they technically have an extra feature TX & Knight stabs do not. However I was not impressed with the shipping. Packing them in plastic baggies like that is fine to me as long as you make sure to ship them in something protective. I guess Bolsa feels different since they sent them in a simple bubble mailer. I got lucky & mine didn’t have any bent wires or crushed parts, but I can see either easily happening sending these packed in a plastic baggie then just shoved in a bubble mailer.

Gonna send a email to their support to see if I can get them to change the shipping package. Bolsa has always been top notch with anything else I bought from them so I’m thinking this is just an oversight by them TBH.

Edit: Sorry for the tough to see pics of the housing & slider. It was really hard to capture the doubleshot parts since I got the all black ones.

Gateron Glory Reds landed.

Initial Impression:

  • Dang smooth.
  • Loud and solid sound, not at all chirpy.
  • Very little noise
  • Looks like trash but feels well made.

Sounds and feels similar to Roselle but higher-pitched without the bell-like ringing sound.

Nice, they sound like solid switches! I was gonna order some Glory yellows, but I’ve seen conflicting info on them. According to some sites they also rock a POK slider, but on the Gateron official site they say the yellows just has a normal POM slider. I definitely do not need anymore standard spec Gat Yellows, so I’ll wait for reviews or someone on here to buy some before pulling trigger on a batch.

Yeah. Glory Reds are excellent switches for the price, a good all arounder.

That said, I do like switches with distinct sound or feel and stock Glory Reds are tad too plain to keep my interest for long. Slapping sound from flat long pole tip striking the housing is loud enough to even overshadow most of the POK sound.

I am going to test what 205g0 does to the switch and try different boards and keycaps combos to see if I can bring out its true sound. I maybe also lube the long pole tip to dial back on loudness as it can be tiring above certain threshold. Thankfully, stock spring is excellent and housing fit is tight so no need for spring swap nor filming.

UPDATE: Relubing the stem with 205g0 definitely helps with lowering pitch and reducing bottom out harshness. Lubing stem pole tip has subtle change but I’m not sure if it’s worth doing. Acrylic case did have similar effect as lubing so POM or PC plate may show similar effect.

UPDATE2: Glory Red stem didn’t fit BSUN X housing so no glimpse of all POK switch sound. As expected, it did fit Cream Soda housing and the sound is interesting. Definitely pleasant but not sure how it’d sound in-use so going to hold-off testing this combo until I get tired of stock Cream Soda switches I have.

Surprised these came on a sun! Got 4 more acrylic evil boxes for artisan storage while dorp had them in stock again. I plan on getting some real nice alum. artisan holders that has glass covers for my really rare caps still, but for the price you really can’t beat these acrylic boxes for mass storage IMO!

The SLK Dessau Dark base and compact kits I ordered from CannonKeys arrived today! Definitely seems like my sets have a couple alignment issues, but I like them otherwise.

Cool. I’ll be looking for extras :stuck_out_tongue:

You’ll have to Upload photos if you put them on a board

Definitely! I’ve been thinking about doing a full rebuild of my Vega65, and thinking this could work nicely on that board. Debating between using that board or the Lightning Silver Salvation that I just received…

It’s a very deep brown with a touch of purple in it. Almost like a dark mahogany leather. Cool colors! :sunglasses:

Here are some comparison caps for color reference

From top to bottom:
Boho

Chladni
Chai Tea
Maroon

So 3rd from the bottom

Now, what keyboard should these go on? I know there has to be an obvious answer, but I’m not sure.

Feel like Chladni would slap on silver for some reason.

In my collection, I’d say my classic brown Kobo Filco - or maybe the burgundy cerakoted M0110…

Also got my SLK Dessau from Cannonkeys (though not nearly as early as @PvtSkittles! — are you a time traveller?)

Quite a few alignment errors to report, I think. Which do you spot? Hopefully they look nice on a board (I’ll find out tomorrow).

The only thing I see at first glance is some of the 1.25 modifiers are exactly centered. Also a the smaller shifts look like the legends is randomly placed.


:grimacing: I like the look of the set if only there was some consistency
