Well first I just want to say, good on NLandKeys getting through that fiasco with the exit scamming accusations. Secondly apart from production problems, I never knew a switch would take over 150 days to arrive at my door (just like my content), but here we are. [Yeah, these came out in August of 2023!]
Microphone: HyperX DuoCast EQ: Set to neutral for a closer sound to life Headphones: AKG K702
Foam: PE Foam Only Mount: Gasket Mounted Plate: Aluminum Plate
Well first like all reviews it is good to go over what the switch is made of and its properties.

Usually googling LY Plastic usually comes up thin on actual resources. However the info provided from the GeekHack and information from DangKeebs provides some details. It is likely that this is a example of a POM/PE-SHGC plastic, a mix of UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene ‘Similar to HDPE’ )with POM (Polyoxymethylene). This results in a more rigid plastic with the combined properties of self-lubercation. Certainly a plastic ever. (Thank you hyperfocusing)
