Hope everyone had an awesome holiday season and kicked on 2024 the right way! I am back “in office” and stoked for some of the upcoming good good coming this year.
Summertime V2 has been in my possession since 12/26 and I’ve been driving them since then. I will be using these switches until the end of next week wherein I intend to approve them for production. So far these are even more excellent than the original good Summertimes I received for my original assessment and approval. These switches are not only the smoothness I was expecting but allow us to retain the tighter tops via a different material (POM) so that we get the reduced stem wobble with Gateron’s new top mold. Fortunately the sound signature remains mostly unaffected with only a slightly different top out vs the V1s.
Indulgence are here and I used them for about 2 weeks before I had to switch to these Summertimes for the promised validation period. The colors are nice and the switches sound and feel great. I am waiting for samples from a revised mold which is intended to reduce stem wobble but even without that mold I am very happy with the ones I have on had. Looking at roughly late February – March, Q2 at the latest for release on these.
Akuamarin switch discussion is coming along swimmingly. Be sure to check out the Wuque Studio and Meletrix Discord servers for discussion on the Akuamarin project which is spearheaded by our dear friend Whysoda.
Melody is in a holding pattern for a potential V2 revision with BSUN later this year. Might bring Runners back, too, depending on that market. Expect these Q3 if it happens.
Keyboard stand design is finalized and I am printing units to send out for testing. Stay tuned for an announcement regarding this later this week as well as some additional housekeeping and Disocrd server opportunities.
Y’all stay awesome and I look forward to another amazing year with all of you!
