Thank you! Yes, I have MANY more instalments planned, but the weekly reviews alone already take up SO MUCH TIME it's hard to find the time to do these as well xD .

I love these videos. The reviews are great, but the teardowns and switch history ones are the best.

Nice bit of history. How does the thickness of the foam and bottom out feel compare to other foam and foil switch types such as Key Tronic and BTC? Mushy?

The foam is more of a glue than a real foam, they don't feel like foam or mush at all. The feel is honestly really quite close to Topre, but more tactile.
