My friend got some decent Tecsee switches and 2 108x sets of Cream Dreams
iridyon t1_jaalhjs wrote
Yeah, I guess Tecsee are priced higher than I thought, and I did forget the Cream Dreams. Though the top tier of this batch of mystery switches still feels a little...thin...in terms of both probability and variety.
Also, were those from this current run of mystery switches? I thought they only came in packs of 90.

They’re just ks3 blacks, oil kings would be the best possible pull compared to what’s been pulled so far.
iridyon t1_jab5fhj wrote
Well, that’s disappointing.

I received Gateron Milky Browns...
Yoosulis t1_jabxfy4 wrote
Lube them and treat them as linears, that’s what I did with mine and I can’t say I am unhappy with ‘em.

Woke up to see the notification in my email. Opened these bad boys up and got these three!!! Kailh Speed Pink, Gateron Oil Kings, and some other Kailh switch. Its a darker red stem, with a clear top housing, and solid white bottom. Not too sure which one that would be

Jammiees OP t1_ja99sk8 wrote
Thank you! Also yep, right on the money! They are kailh pro burgundy :)

Perfect for frankenswitching

Those aren’t oil kings lol. They’re ks3 blacks
Silentism t1_jab5chs wrote
What's the indication tho? Cuz they don't sell ks3 blacks on their site, while they do sell the oil kings.
Lenfried t1_jabb1cl wrote
They don't sell most of the switches you can get in this batch of mystery switches. https://old.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/11a83o8/novelkeys_mystery_switch_haul_r2/j9qroif/
Oil Kings have flipped Gateron logo.
Board__King t1_jab7glr wrote
There’s multiple that you can’t see in this pic. Here’s another post from today where someone else thought they had oil kings
Also I don’t see tecsee corals or ice grapes on novelkeys site either but people are definitely pulling them, so I’m not sure that’s the best way to determine what’s possible.

I got the same 3. I think it’s gateron ks3 blacks.

Nice man lmk how you like the oil kings when you try them! Nice pull

They’re not oil kings so it might be a while 😂

Finished my think6.5 with oil kings last week and it feels incredibly nice, big fan

Better than my TTC linear reds

Best pulls I’ve seen

How dare you give me hope.

Would have been quite happy with Oil Kings to be honest.

I got kailh browns. As bad as clickys. Completely unusable.
AxTROUSRxMISSLE t1_jaaqska wrote
Really debating on ordering one of these, $15 bucks for 90 switches is a good deal, although you obviously might get doodoo stuff. I just recently got into the hobby very lightly and wouldnt mind another switch to throw on the shelf over my setup or use good switches in my board.
Lenfried t1_jabasqb wrote
Widely available switches like Gateron (Pro) Yellows cost the same and are better than 99% of the switches you can receive from this batch of mystery switches.
AxTROUSRxMISSLE t1_jaben9v wrote
Its about the mystery though sire! I actually have a set of Yellows, Im not sure which but Im pretty sure the pros.
Silentism t1_jab6xd0 wrote
Really just depends if you got a tight budget doesn't it? Cuz yea, while these might not be as nice as other .50 cent and up switches, its not like your board will sound bad because of it. Especially if you lube these. Also the switch matters even less if you foam up your board.
AxTROUSRxMISSLE t1_jab7fce wrote
Oh definitely, just might be a fun thing to do, see if I get anything interesting. I recently just got Kaihl box blacks for my second keyboard. I wanted a heavier switch and don't have stuff to lube switches currently. I'm not super deep into the hobby yet but once I have more than a few bucks for random purchases I might get a little more in depth

My man became hella lucky!

Aren’t those ks3 blacks? Not oil kings
iridyon t1_ja9m84z wrote
Wow, these Oil Kings are the first higher value switches I’ve seen anyone pull. I was starting to think there was literally nothing in the pool but Kailh, Cherry, Tecsee, TTC, and basic Gaterons. Congrats!
