I voted for Gateron thanks to all their delivery this past year and how they've matched Cherry in quality and with their caps! That blows me away, especially after Kailh ended up disappointing so many.

I was torn between Matias and Gateron though!

Damn, Gateron. Ignoring Cherry tolerance values since 2014.

Sometimes I will get PBT MX caps. And one of these fancy Gaterons. As I read they are amazing? Like better than the original? Whatever, the PBT caps are really nice.
