Review is up! youtu.be/gI_7lgsJQuU As soon as I heard of this switch, and the story behind what it was trying to be, I immediately had to hop on and try it. Made by glizzo from parallel these are manufactured by jwk but are not just a regular recolor. No, these are a quest to create an improved MX brown, akin to the vint browns of the past.
Lubed with Tribosys 3203 avoiding the legs, filmed with THICC Films (ran out of deskeys), GPL 105 on the springs
Purchasable here: https://parallel.limited/collections/pewter-light-tactile-switches
You can use code: shoobs7
for 7% off. My very first code NICE
Thank you glizzo for providing a discount for me! I contacted him about these and it turns out he watches my vids and hooked it up, he also gave me a code for my viewers and purchases will help support the channel. The review will be made however, without this in mind and will proceed as per usual without any outside influence. If you are on the fence, wait for the review!
Switch specs from glizzo:
Manufacturer: JWK
Tactile bump: subtle, like a smoothed MX Brown
Stem material: POM in a metallic pewter color
Housing material: UHMWPE in a smokey cool gray color
Spring: 58.5g weight and gold-plated
Factory mod: light JWK lube on the stems/legs
Travel distance: 4.0mm
Mount: 5-pin PCB mount
Keyboard Specs:
Mode Eighty First edition
All gaskets installed
Aluminum Plate
GMK 8008
Very unique switch, unlike anything I've seen produced from jwk in terms of tactiles before. Light, smoother than browns and crisp. The pop of these are very nice. Full review coming this weekend!
