are you team linear, tactile or clicky?
@invokeysco sent me three different switches that they recently released - my thoughts and full build components are listed below:
Linear build
• switches: matcha reserve (super creamy and smooth, deeper, low pitched sound)
• keyboard: @modekeyboards envoy | copper plate | all foams
• keycaps: @osumekeys mori
Tactile build
• switches: hojicha reserve (smoothest tactile i’ve tried, a tame and not too pronounced tactile bump, a nice weight to type with)
• keyboard: @qwertykeys_international qk75 | fr4 plate | no case foam
• keycaps: @osumekeys red panda
Clicky build
• switches: pea flower (i’m gonna be honest, i don’t do clickies so i’ll leave it to clicky lovers to judge)
• keyboard: @ne0_kb neo65 | fr4 plate | all foams
• keycaps: @osumekeys winterglow

building a keyboard in three different ways 🙂↔️
featuring @invokeysco 's new line of switches
1. Hojicha Reserve 🫖: I am usually strictly a linear enjoyer but woah these tactiles are SO AMAZING. The thock is so satisfying and its a relatively heavy tactile too. Def my fav of the three.
2. Pea Flower🪻: I usually despise clicky switches but these were actually pretty satisfying to type on. The click isn't too loud and obnoxious and they don't feel scratchy at all.
3. Matcha reserve 🍵: These are such a heavy linear switch 🫨 I was pretty shocked when i first tried them, bc they felt so heavy to type on. I had to get used to it a little but now i'm in love with them. They're really really smooth and i love how deep the sound is.
I also love how all of the switches are so pretty. The colors of them are beautiful and the little gold flakes in the top housings are such a beautiful touch 🙂↔️
Thanks invokeys for letting me try these out 🥹 you always impress me

3 switches from @invokeysco 🙂
To celebrate our new affiliation, Invokeys sent over 3 switches (+ stabs) for me to try out.
Based off of tea names, we have
🍵 Matcha Reserve (linear)
🫖 Hojicha Reserve (tactile)
🦋 Pea Flower (clicky)
Initial thoughts, I love the bags. They have all the specs listed as well as a cute description. Secondly, I love how the switches look. All the top housing of the switches have gold flakes. It’s a subtle but pretty detail. Lastly, I’m glad they didn’t shy away from clicky switches 😎
From lightest to heaviest actuation : pea flower (45g) < hojicha (46g) < matcha (53g)
All the switches use a 21 mm single-stage spring
In terms of factory lube, it’s not bad. Really impressed with hojicha (tactile) ones in that aspect, I didn’t notice any noticeable ping. You can definitely use these switches with the factory lube, but I’d still recommend lubing yourself if you like your switches a certain way.
Travel distance : matcha (3.3mm) < hojicha (3.6mm) < pea flower (3.9mm)
The matchas and hojichas seem to be longer pole stems (bottom out on the pole, not the legs) & the stems do stick out a bit once completely pressed. These two have pom top/bottom housings. The pea flowers go all the way down and that has pc top/bottom. They all have LY stems.
Based on my build (stacked acrylic), the matchas were higher pitched (not the highest I’ve used). The hojichas had a nice medium bump & had a similar sound profile to the matchas. The pea flowers had a lighter bump compared to the hojichas. Compared to melodic switches, these have a slightly deeper click.
Thank you again Invokeys for sending these 3 switches out to me 🙂 if you’re interested, these are all currently available on their website! If I convinced you to try these switches out, please consider using my new affiliate code “xinxinwong” at checkout for a smol discount 💛

The @invokeysco hojicha reserve switches are one of the very few tactile switches that I use - they’re sooo smooth to type on without any scratchy sounds or ping and they’re so deep and thocky too! The only trade off is that they’re pretty heavy to type on but personally, I don’t mind the weight ✋🏻

energy drink themed keyboard 🧊
i loveeeee pocari sweat hehe its so much better than american energy drinks like gatorade. and it also makes for such adorable keycaps!! these are the kamakura-aoi keycaps from @lelelab.work ! lelelab always makes such cute designs and im glad theyre coming out with some new colorways and themes.
lelelab keycaps always have a pretty thin feeling to them, but i honestly dont mind the thinness of these. i dont love how shiny/slippery the finish is though -- i prefer some texture to my keycaps, but the shiny finish definitely makes it feel like a real bottle of pocari hehe so ill let it slide 🙂↕️
thank you lelelab for gifting these to me!!

matcha thocky 🍵💫
this build was my main driver in the second half of last year because of its smooth typing experience, and how deep it sounds — the combination is so comforting 😌
after filming this, i opened her up for a much needed deep clean. i couldn’t believe how much cat hair there was inside… 😬
i will def revisit this build in the future, but for now, i want to change it up :3

Invokeys Goji Reserves are light tactiles with a soft, relaxed bump and 3.6 mm of total travel. They’re factory lubed, so they feel smooth out of the box, with no scratchiness. Sound-wise, they have a moderately loud bottom-out with a clacky-leaning profile, clean and noticeable without being over the top.

I mean who doesn’t need another adorable kitty keycap set??
Happy Thursday loves!! Today I’m showing off some lovely tippy taps of the @womier_keyboard blue kitty keycaps on my @yooppee_official cream Dino65 with @invokeysco Matcha reserve switches! Y’all already know I LOVE my Dino and invokey switches, so it feels right to add adorable keycaps to it 😍 Butter yellow and blue is such a crazy good combo I love it so much. And look at those little arrow keys!! The toe beans are a soft silicon 🥹 This set is just one of the many cute colorways they currently have available! What color do you like the most? 👀
I hope you all have a fantastic day today! Mine is going to be a little busy with work, but in all honesty not too bad! We’re almost done with the week and tbh I can’t wait 😩 First full week back after time away always hurts 😔 Have a wonderful day!

Happy new week everyone! How was your first weekend of the year? I spent my entire weekend trying to readjust and get back into my normal routine... it has been brutal.
Let’s get back to Reels. Please spend one minute building this cute mini board with me: the Nova Mini Ultra from Luminkey.
Mini Design, Ultra Performance. This is the perfect editing partner. With QMK/VIA support, it allows us to customize every key and macro to perfectly fit and improve our workflow.
While it has a very unique layout that might not serve as a traditional numpad or a gaming device, it is a powerhouse for productivity. Plus, the Tri-Mode connectivity is incredibly convenient and can keep the setup clean.
Beyond its functionality as a macro pad, I also use it as a switch tester. It is a beautiful desk accessory as well; its simple aesthetics make it perfect for displaying favorite keycap collections. I am especially in love with the ISO Enter key, which adds such unique character to the board.
I hope you enjoyed this video. Have a beautiful day or night!

my 2025 keyboard rotation 💞
during the second half of the year, i wasn’t tinkering with my keyboards as much as i usually do so the specs of them generally stayed the same. i also didn’t feel like i needed to change them bc i loved the feel and look of them — that’s why they’re part of my regular rotation! :3
hope you enjoy!

Some very exciting new designs coming up!! This is a fidget / artisan keycap display / switch tester typewriter that @setupbandit and I have been working on! You’ve already seen the gorgeous standard black version, but here is a fun little pink and green number we are working on 👀
These will be up in the FatCatCaps Etsy shop, with an exact release date tbd (don’t you worry we will be sure to let y’all know well before they drop)! We are also thinking of some other color combinations, so please do let us know some fun colors you’d like to see 🥰 Every typewriter will come with lovely @invokeysco Pea Flower switches because they are simply AMAZING clicky switches (again don’t you worry sound tests are coming). But of course you can swap the switches / keycaps out and replace them with whatever you like!
Hope you all have an amazing day and let us know what you think!
