Purple Cherry Pie Pack (BCP Alternative)
A new alternative for the awesome frankenswitch that was thwarted by Kailh's cream retool. Firewire sound test is here.
The switch is made from a Nylon Cherry top, POM LT (long pole) stem, and a nylon Gateron Yellow bottom. The resulting switch is a smooth, deep and thocky switch. Buying the pack gives a discount compared to buying each switch separately.
10 PCP switches per quantity (10x MX Black Hyperglide, 10x Boba LT, 10x Gateron Yellow). Note that this is the three base switches, the PCPs do not come pre-assembled.
Housing Material
Bottom: Nylon
Top: Nylon

Spring Info & Factory Lubing
Spring: Dealers choice, I'd say the gateron yellow spring or the LT spring based on your weight preference. I really enjoy Slow Extreme 3 springs in these if you're looking to not use a stock spring.
Factory Lube: Very little, since this is 3 parts being put together. I highly recommend lubing yourself - see below.
Lubing Recommendation
205g0 all the way. These linears benefit from a nice thick lube. Stem only for these. No matter what springs you use, I'd recommend some using some oil on them to prevent any ping.
To top it off, you can use thin films to prevent any housing wobble, but in my testing it is pretty non-existant.
