  1. Good going with it.
    I would personally go for Hades S-12 Medium as it would be a nice fit for my hand. Scroll Wheel center is off for some copies but the nacho fix works. I personally go for Ents method whereas you just add a clear tube between the scroll wheel plastic pointer to decrease the movage between the SW making it balanced in the middle of the opening.

    Good to see you got D2F-F37 switches in it, not personally something I go for but the d2f-01f but knowing you had difficulty, could have played around with it maybe it a perfect fit and won't have any issue regarding assembly.

  2. They claim the bottom is a different material so that the wireless signal could travel faster. Apparently they were having connection issues with a magnesium alloy bottom.

  3. They explained that the bottom needed to be a different plastic called ULTEM which is very good for wireless connection. The magnesium doesn’t allow connection to go very well.

  4. Hey thanks for the video. I have the same relationship with my SL12, the clicks are killing me but I cant stop using it. When you did the switch swap, did you remove the mylar pads on the plungers?
