Re: Need help on identifying unknown heavy switch from a Ham radio desk microphone

My best guess from your pics is a custom weighted variant of the Mitsumi Type 1 or Type 2 standard mechanical switches based on this post, https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=19555&start= , & the wiki for them, https://deskthority.net/wiki/Mitsumi_standard_mechanical . I could be wrong, but ...

Glad to hear about the child kits! Everything is looking awesome & also looking like it will cover just about any 60% or 40% setup, great work here zslane! From the looks of it I'm pretty confident this will be my 2nd SA set. :D

I really like the concept of this set & the colors! The fact that it will focus on 60% should make it decently affordable too. Although to broaden the appeal a little bit offering two optional kits that open this up to 65%/60% with arrow cluster & 40% boards might be a good ideal. Maybe a 65%/60% wi...

I'm excited too! [edit] Heh, that's because I didn't actually order any boards through Massdrop. I get ...

A Magicforce 68 would be a very solid choice and is popular among those new to the hobby, from what I've heard. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ABUJ0FY/ The MF68 is a surprisingly solid board for it's price. Although I would highly suggest trying to get one with Gateron switches vs the models with Out...

Thanks for the info @XMIT! Can't wait to get my bamboo 60% from your GB, especially since I finally got to try out some linear switches & found I do like the heavier variants. The force curve for the 70g springs surprised me a bit as I was thinking they would have a heavier feel but from the chart t...
