MX Standard / 24K Gold plated - Design & Made by SPRiT (All in Stock)

I follow the Cherry Original specs and GeekHack Standard, Not the narrow range of old local Korean ones.
This is the First large scale Systematic production in the world.
Research into the History of Cherry original springs, filling the missing gaps, and added the Modern users' needs.
This wide scale Never happened in Korea either, only 3-4 kinds of weights available currently.

There have been reports on my springs : cloud soft, smoother, comfy, elastic, cushiony bottom out, much less squeaking... Well, I am not happy yet.
To the members' requests, I have been trying to apply better materials, minimize tolerances and variations, working close with the specialized factories.
As more steps and electrochemical processes involved, chances are there for some physical changes.
Yes, I do All the Inspections and Quality Controls for myself on every step, if there is a defective one, its due to my eyes get bad.
Sure, I have added several private Tweaks to be the true custom. And it's Gold plated at a Jewelry workshop for the better result.

Gold vs Non Gold? I don't have any belief in Gold, but in the Quality.
Ever touched my springs? Ever compared mine to others?
It's the matter of Fundamental Design and Production Quality.
Badly Designed without Philosophy, and Badly plated springs will result in a horrible experience, as We seen in Gateron and others.
For the Latest version, I have applied Extra Fine Tuning and Reinforced Surface Smoothness - Need No lube! or very minimal !
