Doing a classic today; Montereys! In a Monterey! Every time I go back to these switches I'm pleasantly surprised .

Yeah, those SMK second generation switches really are nice! For me they almost feel somewhere between clicky Alps SKCM, and clickbar Kailh BOX switches.
I almost got one of these Montereys from a user here about a month or so ago for a good price. Ultimately decided against it because I didn't have the money at the time. (If only I had made my selling thread sooner!)

They are very nice switches, vastly underrated IMO. I might have to do some kind of custom Monterey project at some point.ZedTheMan wrote: ↑12 Mar 2019, 15:19Yeah, those SMK second generation switches really are nice!

Sounds good --- like a Fred Astaire tap dance.
