wseptionoI have not no, so I can't vouch for them. But they are cheaper. I talked to Wei from KBDFans about them and he told me they're not the same mold as the JTK Sliders and they're only slightly smaller than the original sliders. That and they use the same factory that Zealios are made in.

wseptionoOn my HHKB, I have tried three types of Topre to MX Sliders: JTK sliders(with stabilizer sliders and options in different colors), KBDFans 1u white sliders(no stabilizer sliders, but have silence rings), and Novatouch sliders. The novatouch Sliders are the best. Along with KBDFans Silence-X rings, they gives me the closest feel to the stock Sliders, and the ability to switch to different MX keycaps.
Both of the other two sliders have their Cons. The JTK ones are smaller than the stem holes. They feel a little loose and mushy after installed. So was said by lots of people in Reddit reviews or comments. But these sliders are indeed a relatively cheap and well-sourced alternation if you want to experience MX keycaps on Topre keyboards.

wseptionoI own both those and the JTK sliders and I would say they are far superior to the JTK verisons, they don't feel as mushy and they don't wobble as much. The main problem I have with them is the 2u keys are too big for my HHKB and stuck when installed on the downstroke so they had to be sanded down to work. Any other questions, just ask.

tragedyfoundusI might be mistaken but the KBDFans sliders are made of POM which should be a bit smoother then the PBT of the JTK sliders. I given some serious thought to getting a set of KBDFan's sliders but decided instead to just outfit my keyboard with a set of orange Realforce key's

HotRoderXYeah they are made of POM, your assumption is correct. I was going to salavge a novatouch for the sliders but I'm just going to wait for Idea23's HiPro caps since those look amazing plus I'd rather have stock sliders.

HotRoderXKBDFans has some really good PBT blanks for Topre boards so if you want some flair you can get some of those. That's what I did.

tragedyfoundusI bought these as soon as they came out with them (the adapter X are the newest version). Unfortunately, unlike older versions, they result in keycaps being rotated a degree or two. It looks annoyingly terrible.

RavisThat's a shame to hear. :/ KeyClack might be developing some of their own so fingers crossed for those.

hhkbp2Hey, could you point me the spots where I have to send the sliders please? Cuz it did not help me too much and I afraid to sand them down too much on the wrong side and make the keys too wobbly.

Pennywise359Ask me？？
Try to plug the slider into the top plate hole, watch it closely and you will know where to sand.
