(1) Introduction
About the Names
Black Tortoise
of the North, Azure Dragon of the East, Vermilion Bird of
the South and White Tiger of the West are four mythological
creatures appearing among the Chinese constellations along
the ecliptic and viewed as the guardians of the four
cardinal directions (Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Symbols).
This time we choose the bird and the dragon, and of
course the tiger and the tortoise are coming soon!!
About the Switches
Please see the fact sheet below:
We are using a brand new mold for both switches,
which is improved from Gateron KS-9. As for the stems, the
linear variant uses a standard stem length, where as the
tactile variant uses a prolonged stem (as shown below), and
as a result, the tactile switch will hit the bottom earlier.
Pictures for illustration below.
Left is the Linear
stem (standard length), right is the tactile stem
(prolonged)
The tactile switch will bottom out earlier due to the
prolonged stem.
Also we intend to create a decent stock experience
for the linear switch, so it comes pre-lubed; for the
tactile one, we understand it’s more subject to personal
preference on issues like where to lube, so we decide not to
pre-lube it.

(5) Disclaimer
Like most other drops in this hobby, this is also a
Group Buy, which is a sale method similar to a pre-order.
Payments will be collected ahead of time, and there is often
an extended timeline from the order date to when the product
is shipped out, with these timelines ranging from a couple
weeks to several months. I dont have any reason to believe
this will be delayed extensively and I will do my best to
deliver on time, but hey, you know things can get fuzzy this
time around.
(6) Timeline and Updates
The estimated shipping time will be in 2 months after
the GB concludes.
