Depending on batch variation, which is a very real thing for longer-running switches such as the Creams and Tangerines, your ability to assemble these switches will vary considerably. Therein lies the pitfalls of frankenswitches. Actuate the switch and it bottoms out, then press a little harder or at an angle and the stem, pole goes further in and bottoms out again. The longer pole on the Cream stem felt as though it was catching on the bottom housing cavity and led to an odd feeling that I would term a two-stage bottom out. However, the switch once assembled had an odd feel and sound when actuating. For my particular batches of the Cream and Tangerines, the stem went into the housings fine which I cannot say for more recent batches of the same switch with individuals on Discord stating that their housings will not close.
#C3 tangerine switches full
The most prominent thing I would like to start my review with is that the second version of the Creamsicle is something I didn’t bother with pursuing a full board. These combos will use whatever spring you prefer but for my review will be SPRiT 68g Slows. The second combination, which I will review less thoroughly is a Cream stem in a Tangerine Housing. The first being the top housing from an NK Cream, the bottom housing from a C3 Tangerine and a UHMWPE stem (originally an Invyr stem but for my use case a 415keys Rev 4.0 UHMWPE stem). In this case, the Creamsicles I will be testing will be of the two common combinations that I have seen. Never before in a switch review have I had the Factual section be the potential subject of debate but the nature of frankenswitches is that people sometimes assign the same name to different variations of a switch. To endear me to my loyal following of around 90 people (pls sponsor me switch manus) I decided to put together a fairly prominent frankenswitch within the hobby, but one that is often the subject of rather spirited discourse, the Creamsicle.
#C3 tangerine switches crack
This was perhaps most apparent when realising despite the large number of switches I owned, I had only put together one batch of frankenswitches, the Holy Butt Crack (don’t ask, review coming soon). It is a good idea but the amount of experimenting and compatibility issues that one runs into whilst going through the process of disassembling and reassembling switches en masse was not an enticing prospect to me. It is often requested that I put together some of the constituent parts of my vast number of switches to form what is known as a frankenswitch in the hobby. I will continue to use this website to purchase other switches, they are legit and I appreciate that they always send stickers with your orders.Unique but likely divisive sound signature. I also hope they focus a little more on quality control because of the same mistakes on this order were on my previous order such as the bent pins and the missing switches. There are better options for stock linear switches and Tangies are not it. I would not recommend this for someone who is not into modifying switches or keyboards because trust me, in my opinion, it needs some work. To sum it up, it is an OK switch but with a few modifications, it can be a great product. I use them on my Ducky one 3 mini and it makes a great combination. They are very smooth right out of the box and are very consistent from switch to switch and the price is same as the Tangerines. I would highly recommend if people are looking for good stock switches where they do not have to do any modifications, to try out the Gateron Oil Kings (trust me), they are a much better option.
I was expecting good out of box switches but this was not it for me. The films should help reduce the stem wobble and the lubrication would give it a much smother feeling when typing or gaming. this switch would be a good practice for me to film them up and lube them. I was also missing 2 switches so that's that. I also did not like that some of the switches had bent pins, I had fixed them and it is not that difficult as long as you are being gentle with it. There is a lot of play when moving it horizontally and vertically, you can feel it as you type and game. My biggest con about this switch is the stem wobble.
The price was good and the shipping was great as usual along with the updates. Some positives was that the housing looks very nice, especially when using RGB and UHMWPE ( a low friction plastic) is a great material for switches. I wanted to see the hype behind the Tangies so I purchased the 62g version.
