Not All Linears Are The Same!
Figure 1: Not even all of these (mostly) KTT-made linears are the same! After all of my years of collecting, reviewing, and obsessing over switches, I can say with certainty that linear switches are the most misunderstood of all of the switch types. No, I’m not talking about mechanically either, as all of the claims of them “just going straight up and down” are somewhat kind of true. (Not too much though, don’t get that excited.) The part that is often misunderstood, though, is usually in what is being implied when people say that these switches just go straight up and down – “All linears might as well be the same.” If the title of this article didn’t make that obvious enough to you, I find that sort of idea to be completely and utterly wrong. The people who make these implications wouldn’t say that a Cherry MX Black is the same as a Novelkeys Cream switch? They also certainly wouldn’t ever claim that every Gateron-made linear is the same as every fancy TTC one out there...

Long story short, I stumbled across some incredible rainbow (rainbro? eh? eh?) brocaps branded stickers in the thread and messaged @brocaps on twitter to see if I could score some stickers or something. He went above and beyond my wildest dreams and sent me this gorgeous pre-release Cosmic Dusk Brobot by surprise and completely for free. I will always love this cap and it reminds me to always try to go above and beyond for people who support what you're doing.
Here are a few photos that don't do it justice. I tossed this on the Anne BT 60% which should be dropping really soon.
