Hi everyone, I am posting this on behalf of HHHH (or QUAD-H, or Salamander guy, whatever you call him). This is his first switch, hence the name H1.
This switch has been in circulation throughout Korea. After sending samples to several people and gauging interest, HHHH would like to bring it to the western market.
This linear switch is extremely smooth. Sound tests are linked at the bottom of the post, and hopefully that gives an idea of the smoothness.
The spring is a custom 78g gold plated spring, weighted to HHHH’s preferences.
These are NOT ordinary JWK linears; HHHH worked with JWK and modified existing molds to his specification.
He has told me that he wanted a switch that felt similar to vintage Cherry MX Blacks, and in my opinion, he has successfully captured that smoothness.
The switches will come with a very small amount of factory lube applied to the stem.
I can attest that these are some of the smoothest linears I’ve tried, with an extremely nice, thocky sound profile. My sound test will come after I actually use my samples in a board.
HHHH wanted me to clarify this: in China, there is a very similar switch being produced that is essentially a clone of the H1. HHHH created this switch first, and he wanted to make this clear to avoid any confusion.
Leave any questions down below, and either I or HHHH will answer it.
TLDR:
Top: Polycarbonate
Bottom: Polyamide (which is essentially nylon)
Stem: POM
Spring: 78g
Vendors: Novelkeys, MyKeyboard, iLumKB, DailyClack, letsgetit.io (HHHHH’s store for Korea and neighboring nations) and (NEW) ApexKeyboards!
Estimated price: $6.00 (could be more in some regions with import tax etc)
In-stock sale - NOT a group buy

t=102s
