THEY'VE ARRIVED I initially bought them for the memes, but no joke Glarses' description is on point -- it is the marriage between the tactility of a Boba U4T with the delayed tactility of a Cherry MX Brown. It's honestly so great, and reminds me of the original Zealio V1 switches before they moved the tactility to the top. Seriously considering buying multiple packs and using these on a daily driver. Congrats Mr. Glarses, these are actually fantastic

Hi silly question, new to keyboards; why is everyone im seeing buying 2 or 3 batches? I was planning on buying 1 but is that not good/ not enough?

[@debesys6306]

​@@Infimetit depends what size you want your keyboard! 36 switches (size of 1 pack) gives you 26 letters of the alphabet plus 10 symbols; a very small keyboard size that usually only crazy people use. count how many keys are on your normal keyboard to see how many you'll need for a mechanical keyboard that's your ideal size

[@Infimet]

@@debesys6306 ah that's really helpful, i didnt think about that, i just assumed it would be enough as if there is a universal amount haha, thanks for answering!

[@WagwanHabibi]

@@Infimet one order is only 36 switches which mean it can be used for 36 keycaps. For example my keyboard is a 60% keyboard with 61 keys so I’d need 61 switches to have 1 for each key (including space, enter, etc). Check your keyboard and see how many keys it has (usually part of the name such as mine being the Kemove dk61), then divide that by 36 and that’ll tell you how many you need (ex: 61 / 36 = 1.7 which is why i need 2 packs). Hope that helps, ik it’s a long winded answer but I’m bored n figured I’d give a thorough response lol

Hi silly question, new to keyboards; why is everyone im seeing buying 2 or 3 batches? I was planning on buying 1 but is that not good/ not enough?

[@ImOnMy116]

@@InfimetNo judgment here! Each pack (at least from batch 1) contains 36 switches each. Even a 60% or 65% layout keyboard will require at least 2 packs to fill. No intention to talk down to you, but if you’re relatively newer to keyboards, I’d definitely make sure your current keyboard is hot swappable. It’s pretty common these days, but if your keyboard switches are soldered in, I suspect you don’t want to have to desolder / resolder to replace them with these MX purples. If you have any other questions or concerns, I’m happy to try to help!

[@Infimet]

@@ImOnMy116 oh okay! That makes sense, i just assumed that was enough haha! I've bought a hot swappable royal kludge rk68 keyboard with their brown switches, but i dont think it will be compatible with this, but thats fine - as this is limited edition, i'll buy these now as i can always get a cherry compatible keyboard in the future. Thanks for answering, you didnt talk down to me at all dont worry!

[@ImOnMy116]

​@@Infimet Based on my quick google, the RK68 would accept 5 pin cherry mx switches. It also has 68 keys, so you'd need two packs to fully replace all the switches. However, it does unfortunately have north facing LEDs, so you will probably run into interference when using switches with the standard 4mm travel distance and cherry profile keycaps. I'd suggest googling north facing led interference to learn more on this issue. I'd guess that keyboard comes with OEM profile keycaps, so you may not have any issues. Again, if you're new to the hobby, it's probably worth doing a little reading / video research on different keycap profiles. Best of luck!
