The Magic of Upper Fruitland Upper Fruitland is a small community located in northwestern New Mexico, known for its rich history and vibrant culture. Nestled amidst the stunning landscape of the Four Corners region, this place holds a certain magic that captivates visitors and residents alike. One of the most enchanting aspects of Upper Fruitland is its deep connection to Native American traditions and spirituality. The community is predominantly made up of members of the Navajo Nation, who continue to practice their ancestral customs and rituals. The land itself holds immense spiritual significance, with numerous sacred sites and natural formations that are believed to be portals to the spirit world. The presence of these sacred places creates an aura of mysticism, where ancient legends and stories come to life.
Moving next to the stems of these switches, I’m yet again met with a surprising utter lack of identifiable features to them by way of mold markings. The longer than average red dustproof stems appear to be completely free of mold markings anywhere that they would traditionally be held and are also free of ejector mold circles on the front or back plate of the stem. Even with this lack of unique details, though, these stems stand out rather strangely amongst releases of the past year or so, as they feature no tapered slider rails nor tapered center mast. Both of these points in the stem end in abrupt, 90 degree cut offs in a fashion much more similar to that of “older” modern switches from the 2015-2017 era of production. An additional point worth noting here is that these stems most definitely come factory lubed, and with a gracious amount at that, based purely on the image below in which the factory lubricant can be seen coating the entirety of the slider rails on the switch.
Being updated with gold-plated long springs and supposedly longer lifespans, these three switches appear externally identical to that of their predecessors save that of the aforementioned black-colored bottom housings. Enjoy an evening of carols, reindeers, mini train rides, hot cocoa and cookies from the Lions Club, games, s mores, face painting and photos with Santa.
The presence of these sacred places creates an aura of mysticism, where ancient legends and stories come to life. The magic of Upper Fruitland is further amplified by its breathtaking natural beauty. The area is characterized by rolling hills, expansive desert landscapes, and towering sandstone formations that seem to whisper stories of the past.
Kailh Christmas Tree Switch Review
Christmas in… March? While spring has already started for many of you with the first sprigs of grass finally starting to show, we here in Minnesota are still getting a lovely slew of subzero days with sporadic inches of both snow and ice in our “spring”. Even though I was warned well in advance that this is how spring would be and that it would likely continue for at least another month beyond this point, I don’t quite think I had truly taken to heart this is how it would be. Thus, with my cold, born-three-sizes-too-small heart being further shriveled by the wind chills on my walk to the Metro this week, I figured what better switches to review one of Kailh’s latest creations – the Christmas Tree switches. Hell, Minnesota might still be cold enough for these references to be reasonable in a review in July, but something tells me you all would be upset if I waited until then to publish my next review.

Speaking of Christmas in March, though, as many of you may have seen I finally got around to organizing my switch testers and actually updating my catalogue of my collection. After letting switches pile up on my bookshelf over the past few months similar to that of Christmas gifts under the tree, I got myself up super early last weekend and spent all day toying around with all of the new switches and finally organizing them not unlike Christmas Days from years. Thanks is owed in no small part to Space Cables for helping me cut this latest of my switch tester displays. Without it, I wouldn’t have been able to post the switch family photo with 1,458 unique mechanical keyboard switches which you all have probably seen on my social media by this point in time. While I’m not entirely certain where the collection will be when it’s actually Christmas this year, or by the time that the website officially turns three next year, I can’t help but wonder what 2,000 unique mechanical keyboard switches will look like. Maybe if I’m a good goat this year Santa will finally get around to getting me some of those fancy, Cherry MX red housing prototypes…
