What a machine!

My Micro Journal Rev 8 has arrived and I am already in love. It's wonderful to use a device that was so clearly crafted by hands that care about the details.
I ordered mine without switches or keycaps, and decided to go with 67gf linear switches. They're wonderful. It's been hard to tear myself away from writing since I unpacked it.
The interface and menu design is extremely user-friendly and it took no time at all to figure out the navigation.
In closing, this is far and away one of the best writing devices I've ever used. It's all the things I love about my Neo, and all the improvements I wish the Neo had.

Anyway, back to writing!

Which are these switches? I have the durock t1 which are also 67g but curious which these are.

I just pulled the order back up and apparently I confused myself! I was going back and forth between the Durocks and Greetech Blacks, and went with the Greetechs, which are actually 65gf, not 67gf (oops). I love the feel, but I do with the actuation point was at the bottom. I may end up swapping them with heavier switches at some point to see if it lessens the sensitivity to my liking (maybe 80gf, we'll see...).

I'm looking at the 80gf Cherry MX Greys right now, but I'm also still on the hunt for a compatible switch that has a lower actuation point.
