    Was interesting to hear Alex talk about the Keycult he bought aftermarket for 2k. Knowing that's probably CAD or USD, that hurts my Australian mental wallet immensely haha. The most I've ever been prepared to spend on a board that I really did genuinely want was 1350AUD flat for a Dalco 959 Mini, and I'm happy that I decided to do so because it's a board I've always wanted, but it wasn't a decision that I came to lightly
    Those frankenswitches slap too btw, even just Cherry-topped SP-Star Meteors are king

    Isn’t it another BCP? Thicker Nylon bottom and hard-longer POM stem with the Cherry MX top housing. But it is Tecsee stem, which is softer stem, so the sound will be louder and not such clear push back like MX cream

    • @AlphaTenkai

      Yeah its a variation material wise but you will find out that not all nylon, or any material top, bottom or stem will give off the exact same sounds when mixed together and also stem length can change how things feel and sound as well. The difference in sound may be minimal or quite different depending on what all is used. At the same time though I use what I have on hand to try and have as little waste as possible also

I don't understand how Alexotos managed to use cherry top with that stem, unless he used the strong spring.

      Including shipping from the various places as finding all the parts from one site would be a chore, probably around $1.50 - $1.75 a switch would be my best guess (could be off depending on current prices and sales)

      SP Star Meteor series runs around 55¢ ea, Cherry MX series runs around 40¢ ea, Bubble switches were about 70¢ ea, aftermarket springs come out to around 10¢ ea, films 8¢ ea, lube used judiciously around 2¢ a switch, and not counting labor and love, it'd be around $1.85 not counting shipping and taxes
