Improvements for this round:
- 58g factory-oiled spring in both raeds and naevies. These are slightly lighter than the previous round (R1 was 62g).
- Stem material replaced with a PE mix.
- Prepackaged in bags of 35. This allows for a bit more compatibility with SKUS. Please make sure you buy enough bags for your keyboard size.
Navies:
Tactile Stem:
MX Clear-like bump with extended pole
-
Bottoms out a little bit earlier and moves the bump to mid/mid-top. These stems have a different bump to halo stems and don’t feel like Holy Pandas. 3 pin.
-
This stem mold is owned by AEBoards.
- 58g factory-oiled spring
-
Stem is a Custom Mixed PE (MPE) - UHMWPE is one of the smoothest plastics however this material suffers from shrinkage rates. Our solution was to create a MPE that enables us to get smoothness and good shrinking rates.
- Housing is Nylon (PC top) for this round. Next round we will be testing a Mix Polycarb with some new molds. Housing colour is our signature navy.
Raeds:
Linear Stem:
Smooth stem with extended pole.
-
Bottoms out a little bit earlier. Adds tolerances for keycaps with north facing switches. 3 pin.
