About the Naevies Project

From the designers at Keyboard Treehouse

"Gone are the days of hunting down rubber dome sheets, springs, sliders and stabilisers. No longer will you suffer topre pains where you've misaligned the rubber domes, or clipping your GMK keycaps to fit into stabilisers.

We've taken what we love from Topre and refined it into a Cherry MX compatible switch, using the 14x14mm footprint, it allows compatibility with MX stabilisers and MX keycaps. The weight of Naevies EC switches is 45g."

Compatibility Notes

From Keyboard Treehouse

Domes: these switches are not compatible with Topre or other rubber dome sheets. Naevies use a custom rubber dome that fits into the MX footprint, and is aligned into our switches using corner pillars.

PCBSs: They should work with existing Topre/EC PCBs, but it is not a drop in replacement - you will need to do your own testing, and will need to be able to calibrate your EC PCB.

Plates: Topre plates are unique in that it is usually an injected plastic frame to support the sliders. Naevies use the MX footprint and you are likely to be familiar with this style of plate.

Great switches, flawed design

I really love these switches, they sound great, feel great to type on, and they're super unique and novel. One of my favorites for sure.

The problem with these switches is that the tab on the side (the one that clicks into place to and holds the switches in the plate) is too stiff and also too fragile. They take a lot of force to press into place, and the plastic gets chewed up from the pressure, making their hold on the plate really weak. Because they're EC switches the PCB presses against them slightly, and if the tabs are chewed up from pressing them in then switches start to unseat from the plate--and it's really hard to fix once that starts to happen.

My recommendation is to use a small flat head screwdriver and carefully put each switch in one side at a time, using the screwdriver to flex the tab and prevent it from getting messed up. Takes a while but then all the switches are much more secure and undamaged.
