new switch day! going to some SUPER light linears and keeping the tactile Sunsets on board for a little bit of key feedback

35g Twilights - home row, Space, Backspace
55g Sunsets - mods, layers, Tab, Esc
20g Nocturnals - everything else

um, first impressions, it's like typing on a cloud? 

i think i love it?

my brother in christ i do not leave the house without this board

Please bring these to the Farcaster meetup? 👉👈

lol i would also consider myself a key pounder — my Moonlander has PLENTY of resistance and feedback in its various switches and longer travel to soften each hammer blow, but the Zen doesn't have ANY cushion, hahaha, so it's kinda painful

but this 35g home row is juuuuust heavy enough to rest on, and that encourages a really light touch in general. the action on the 20g's is also SUPER smooth, and the bottom out on either of these doesn't even remotely compare to the Sunsets — which is pretty forceful, and more or less mandatory to operate them? lol

i was catching more stray misclicks at first, but i think my hands have already tuned in to being more precise around certain keys in particular and just keeping form/alignment tight in general

it feels like it's training me REALLY quickly to be more composed and intentional on the board, and i seem to be typing a lot softer because of it

Don’t you misclick + bottom out? I come from old Apple keyboards and have learned to press hard.

Those the Sunset tactile chocs? Those look pretty awesome.

yep! 

so it's all three of these now:

LOVE the sunsets. probably still my favorite switch, but it's a little stiff at the top. 

makes the action kinda chunky and it rejected too many weak pinky stretches, so I decided to try something new

Nice. I do sunsets on everything but thumb row where I put red pros.

not sure at all what i’m looking at but super high tech

Feels like typing on air, a perfect balance of light and tactile keys. Very enjoyable experience.
