    I hope this rough video at least provides some clarification on how to get started in frankenswitching. There's quite a lot to consider in terms of material choice and vendors and where to purchase parts.
    Again, this is a gross over simplification in the nuances of parts, combination, and compatibility of materials so take some of these with a grain of salt.

    Thanks for the video, manic grab man. It was very nice.
    I think one of my favorite frankens rn is a stock gateron oil king stem swapped with an average joe stem and lubed spring.
    It is awesome to type on! Great stuff. Hope you're having a great one!

    Also guys, Gateron CAP switches take on a completely different architecture than other MX switches so those are almost always a no-go on frankenswitching. I think even the springs are a different width to accommodate the different stem column design.

    • @justanotherpxrson
      @justanotherpxrson ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I used the tops from my cap milky browns. but at that point you can use literally any gateron switch so you have more usable parts

    Great guide! Frankenswitching has also been a little bit scary because of the cost to entry and the number of choices, but I like the rundown.
    At the end of the day though, half the fun is trying stuff until it works right?

    I got into frankenswitching because I decided to buy Unga stems on a whim and put them on my Meteor Whites and now it's just basically making more SP-Star/Cherry long pole abominations
    I wanna try putting one of the Tofu stems on a Cherry but I wonder if it'll have stick slip lol
    The Cream+ have also been a total disaster for my wallet. Those stems are sick but I don't wanna spend so much just to harvest the stems (I hate the rest of the switch itself)

      @@TofuTypes Okay, cool! I am not entirely sure where to go with them, from my understanding they are pretty much a recolor of Alpaca's with a different spring. Maybe I will throw a long pom stem in and have something similar to a creampaca.
