Making this video challenged some of my preconceived ideas! While it isn't a 1-1 comparison, I found the differences interesting and it made me want to do a direct hotswap vs solder comparison using 1.2mm PCBs for both!

Did you have to mod the Apollo pcb to be able to fit the 3.0?

[@pnjnoodz8692]

Do you like the direct top mount more than the gasket socks?

[@MultiAirs]

Yes!

[@pnjnoodz8692]

@@MultiAirs Do you think you could get close to the sound of Matrix 2.0 with it + maybe some more mods? I am really curious what they sound like in a comparison

[@potatofwog]

do you know if anyone is selling the shims or do i have to print my own
