The Kaisya is a long pole, standard travel linear that should have been so much better than it is due to one fatal flaw: horrendous ticking that couldn't be fixed despite drenching the leafs of almost every single one of my review samples in 205g0. As of this moment, I'm boycotting JWK until they fix their leaf tick because there's no excuse to put out a switch like this in 2023. It's really unfortunate because it's clear that Tsukuri Studio put a lot of effort and care in designing these switches, and it is possible that I got a bad batch... of four boxes... but this was easily the most frustrating product I've tried in 2023. It's also strange because none of the other reviews I've seen mentioned the leaf tick problem, but let me know if you've heard anything on the topic. If you're a gambling man/woman, check them out here! (currently OOS): clickclack.io/collections/in-stock-switches/products/tsukuri-studio-kaisya-switch-35-switches-per-box
