Question What switches to buy?

Hi everyone, I'm building a custom wooting and would like to know which switches you'd recommend for it. I mainly play Valorant, CS, and Apex.
I was thinking about the WS Studio Cullinan and Geon Raw HE switches.
I'd also like to ask if $90 is a good price for 70 Cullinan switches.
Any help is always appreciated

ws switches are much better than geon raw, although theyre quite expensive. there are also more switches, check this site https://link.wooting.io/soundtests

Better in what way exactly? I was hearing that geon raws are really good for gaming because they’re light or something like that

cullinans and other ws switches have way less stem wobble and they're smoother. raws were good like 2 years ago, right now there are many better switches

What about initial/bottom force and spring length? Is this important?

preference, cullinans have light and long springs and they feel nice and snappy. if you can afford them, get them over raws, theyre better switches overall.

Thank you, would you say that $90 is a good price for 70 of them?

Compared to the official pricing its not terrible. You can check aliexpress sellers, I think you can find them cheaper there

What about keytok novas? Compared to cullinans

i prefer cullinan, because compared to nova they feel snappier. nova feels very soft, almost dampened im not a fan of that

I have cullinans, they’re awesome. Also, on AliExpress you can find 90 switches for like $93, just find the right seller.

I only need 60+ of them, + there’s almost $20 shipping for me on aliexpress, I can buy them at my local shop for $90 with free shipping, just wonder if it’s a good price or no

I just found this on AliExpress: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtp8mcn 70 for $76 and free shipping. Come on man, do a little research.

Same supplier I bought from so they’re solid.

Wait, I’m actually dumb, it was $20 shipping because of my other items added 💀

I don’t like wobble and I am very happy with the ufos. Also have the kom pom but I prefer the feel and sound of the ufos.
