[GB] Cherry MX switches Round 3 (Silent Black)

[sennin32]

GB link here : https://shopkey.doyustudio.com/005swcgb

Depends on IC check last week.
Non RGB, plate mounted silence Black GB is gogin.($48, 0.4/pc)


This GB will end on 5/31 23:59, 2017 (UTC +8)
And start to ship from early June, 2017.
Ship by small pack, DGM, air pack or DHL.
Hope this time the ic quantity is correct -0-
Much more than expect last round, so silent red delayed.

Since we've ran another Cherry switches GB around Dec 2016 and Apr 2017.
So we only provide types that do not show in last one.
If you need other switches, please check our site.

If shipping fee is > $10 for single pack, mean there might has some error.
Please contact us, include quantity, country in the message to help us spot what cause the issue
If you have any question, leave comment here.
Or send us a mail : sy_yang@doyustudio.com, sales@doyustudio.com, or send message to https://www.facebook.com/douystudio/.

FAQ :
1. Other quantity like 50, 100? No, single size pack is reason why we can reduce processing cost and offer low price.
2. PCB mounted? No, Cherry representative in Taiwan does not have it now.
3. Combine with other item? Yes, but have to wait for GB order.
4. Other switch? No, we won't put same item for group buy after a short period from last one.
5. How long will it take for shipping? 2~3 weeks with standard shipping. Maybe 4 for some countries / areas.
6. Claim value? 1/3~1/2 of real value
7. About the "smoother stem" : I don't know, we can't make any promise on switches we sold on this issue. If there has 2 different mold is manufacturing now, we don't even know what we'll get in next order since Cherry never publish any news about that, all rumours aren't official.

[neralo]

And in for multiple packs. Thanks for doing this sennin as always!

[Dreamre]

Bought 4 packs of the silent blacks, thank you!

[futurecrime]

Yes! Perfect. Thanks!

[yokken]

Ohhhhh baby, in for two sets!

[pr0ximity]

The switches I'm planning for in my next build have changed 3 or 4 times now..

[OfTheWild]

in for 3 packs. very happy someone sourced these! 

[JDragon]

edit: nvm, can't read

[Targa-TV]

Plate mount. Welp. At least I got a hold of the Silent Reds last time around. Thank you sennin 

[wholypantalones]

Shame there's no pcb mount. Haven't tried silents yet, so I'm waiting on my reds from the last gb to show up before I jump on this one.

Same. I want silent blacks but I don't want to order until the others are here.

[Slash Emperor]

Quick question on these Silent Blacks and the other Cherry linears you have on the site. Are these all super smooth from that new/fixed tooling?

[OfTheWild]

The silent switches as well as the silver speeds switches are all "new tooling" and super smooth, yes.

[yokken]

What's the word on Silent Blacks vs Gateron Blacks? I tried Gat Black stems in my Zealio housings (I think just stock Gat housings right?) and they were so freaking smooth. I almost straight up just left them in there, but ended up swapping them back out. Probably going to put these Silent Blacks on my next board or the one after that (have a few in GBs) but I'm curious to hear more opinions about them with the "new tooling".

[romevi]

This is the new black switch that's supposedly smoother than vintage blacks, right?

Totally different. Silent black cherry are heavy spring weight with rubber dampeners. Gateron blacks are light weight regular switches.

Also... zealio housing *is* gateron housing? should have been no different right? I thought it was the stem that was POM on the zealio.

This is the new black switch that's supposedly smoother than vintage blacks, right?

I believe the hype is regarding the new regular black switches vs. vintage... which i agree, seem smoother before lube. However, all the new switches are significantly smoother than what cherry used to make.

I think it depends on which round of Zealios, R4 and later has significantly less wobble. May have to ask Zeal, but I think the first three rounds were almost the same design as Gaterons except with the gold internals and completely clear housings.

For me, the main draw to vintage blacks was the balance between smoothness and stability. Before Cherry improved their tooling, MX blacks were very scratchy and while Gaterons were much smoother, the wobble was intolerable. Glad that Cherry recognized their competition, innovated with MX Silents and now nobody needs to worry about sourcing the smoothest, cleanest vintage blacks for a good MX based linear experience.

[OfTheWild]

Yup. I'm a huge gateron fan... but after playing with the new tooling/material on the silent reds, silent blacks, silvers, and regular blacks.. I'm going back to Cherry with their tight tolerances and stronger switch tops.

[TalkingTree]

I have 62 switches on most of my boards so a pack of 120 won't fully cover two builds. Does anyone know where to get 10 extras silent blacks elsewhere?

[wholypantalones]

Just got my silent reds yesterday, and the super smooth is quite debatable. For the record I have multiple keyboards with vintage and new mx switches and Gaterons.

These are interesting switches, they still have a bit of scratchiness to them and the stem seems wobblier than the other mx switches I have. The reduced travel isn't bad at all, something I could get used to very easily. There's no loud clack on bottom out or upstroke compared to the Gaterons, but nice quiet thock. Exactly what I've been looking for.

How didn't I think of that? Thank you good sir.

EDIT: 7bit doesn't seem to have any in stock. I'm still looking for suggestions. Thanks.

Gat Blacks aren't that light. Certainly heavier than MX Reds. And yes I think Zealio housings are stock Gateron housings like I mentioned, but I wasn't sure if they have been modified at some point.

Curious to hear about wobble. I don't worry about it or notice it with my Zealios so unless these Silent Blacks have 0 wobble and are smoother than Gat Blacks, the only reason for me to use them might be the silence! I really gotta desolder the Zealios on this board so I can properly try Gat Blacks.

[Petch]

Do you have any MX Silvers left from the last GB?

[Biggestmac]

Thanks for doing this again!

[sennin32]

The switches I'm planning for in my next build have changed 3 or 4 times now..

lol
Is there any good reason stop you from making 4 keyboards instead!?

[sennin32]

Sure,
I think the only different between red and black is force.
Red is more popular in Taiwan.
Maybe it is because of physical difference, we got weaker fingers haha

[sennin32]

Quick question on these Silent Blacks and the other Cherry linears you have on the site. Are these all super smooth from that new/fixed tooling?

I think silence black is different mold.
I can't guarantee about the mold issue though.

[sennin32]

No = =
Silver is also sold more than the form shows.
We just send all our stock which were planing for retail selling.
Now we have to wait till early june to get more.

[sennin32]

Just a idea.
So many people care about smoothness...
Why don't we just change the switches top and stem into PTFE(Teflon)...
That will be ****ING smooth.
PTFE is awesome plastic with the lowest coefficient of friction of all solid materials.

The only disadvantage is pricing.
Maybe 2 or even 3 times expensive on the cost @Q@
Not to mention small quantity manufacturing for only so small community -0-.

coefficient of friction:
Only consider the most common form:
ABS:770
POM-C : 14
PBT:0.24
PTFE:0.198

Another downside is the high wear rate. Tough to say how long it would take but the actuation point would creep higher and higher until you barely touch it and it actuates. It might even get to the point that it looses the ability to stay open.

If I order some silent blacks, can you hold them until you sell Silvers again? Then ship both together?

Interesting. i have not seen any wobble in the standard or RGB ones i received with my vortex switch tester. There were 6 in there and they are all rock solid and smoother than my vintage blacks.. they have less wobble in comparison to the gaterons i have next to them in my tester setup.

That's re-assuring. Will just have to wait for the next GB for silent black. I initially registered for PCB mounted ones but have since gotten a batch of vin blacks. Will definitely be keen for plated mounted RGB versions if they become available.

Bought some! Linear master-race

If you ordered it and want to add something later.
Please contact us and we'll left comment on your order.

[fendent]

Grabbed a pack. Looking forward to it!

[pr0ximity]

Do we know what color the housing is on these? I've seen some Silent Reds with clear tops, but the pics of the GB site show Reds with black tops.

EDIT: Articles seem to say RGB have clear housing while non-RGB are solid housings, so these shoukd be solid. Excellent for me, hoping for all-black housing and stems

[OfTheWild]

^ i'm under the impression these will all be solid black. not the clear rgb tops.

[jorgenslee]

Is it possible to order 130pieces instead of 120?

[TalkingTree]

Yup, black one.
Not sure why you prefer black one @@?
For DIP LED?

Had to sell some things off before I spent more on switches. I'm in!

[jebbra]

Hey boss Sennin! I message on facebook about additional order of Cherry PCB, if it can be added and combined on shipping just let me know 

[kmba]

Link is broken now but it's not 23:59 on 5/31 yet in utc-8

[duynguyenle]

Totally forgot this was happening, managed to put my order in, 3 hours before the deadline 

[Petch]

Why not, I'm interested to see how  Cherry's dampeners feel

 Link was fixed. Thanks.

[sennin32]

Sorry,

Has fixed!

[sdothum]

Having problems with the order site. After paypal screen, the "place order" button on the https://shopkey.doyustudio.com/paypal/express/review/ page doesn't work.

Got order placed.. my mistake: didn't select shipping option

[pr0ximity]

After hearing they're a bit soft I'm looking forward to trying them, but not sure what I'll use them for just yet.

[Geckt]

In for two bags. 

[renzpwns]

In for just one bag. Still a little skeptical about the feels on a dampened switch since I love me some clack. But it's hard to pass up on getting to try another linear.

[Captainbuttmonkey]

Looks like I just missed it. Not to worry, I'll have the chance to see what people's impressions are =].

[mathiasn]

Any idea, when these will ship?

(I'm also still waiting for my silent red and silver ones from previous GB!!)

Status Complete in the Doyu Studio website that you have completed your order successfully. You did your part. Now they'll do their. You will either receive an email with the tracking or you'll check website daily for an additional section in your order page that says shipping. That's where you can view your tracking number.

Don't expect an email instantly. My order took a week to have tracking and I noticed because I checked the website every day. I have never received an email with the tracking. Just a heads up.

[iamtootallforthis]

Got mine in today! They feel great and I cannot wait to get them into a board.

[rustywok]

Waiting still. Can't wait to hear some impressions. I'm thinking about putting these on an as-yet-to-be-delivered LZ-CLS. It should be coming soon though so the timing is right.

You should probably try it with a global tracking site like 17track.net which tracks almost any parcels that have tracking, but it'll be in mandarin characters. I think it will help at least telling you the dates that the parcel has movement on.

I am seeing mine in transit to my local post office already.

Not sure if I should be worried. I didn't purchase using an account, only used my paypal. Have also not received any tracking information, while there are people in the thread who have received their orders already. I know you come through, since I got the Tactile Greys from you the last time, just that I'm getting ready for a build I hope to use these in and need to plan me time

Invoice ID:000000558 for reference.

Have also not received any tracking information, while there are people in the thread who have received their orders already. I know you come through, since I got the Tactile Greys from you the last time, just that I'm getting ready for a build I hope to use these in and need to plan me time

Invoice ID:000000558 for reference.

I didn't use an account, just paypal and had to email the organizer to get a tracking number.

Yeah I'll get on that as soon as I get home! Thanks!

Great GB. Just received mine here in Canada.

These switches feel very smooth -- and are headed for my next Planck build. Hope you will be offering these again soon..

Thanks!

[rustywok]

Wait you guys got tracking? I don't remember was there different shipping methods? I checked my order and it gives me a random tracking number that doesnt seem to work for any carrier lol.

No I got a text from DHL randomly.

Same here. Got a text from DHL June 21. The tracking number was a 10 digit number with no letters which leads to the DHL website with my shipping details. It's supposed to be delivered sometime today.

I was wrong. Idiot. It was something else via DHS. Some very cool artisans, but anyway, not the switches. I'm beginning to lose track of what is coming in the mail.

Got my Switches! (Never had an email for tracking either). Are they suppose to be kind of a dark grey stem instead of actually black?

Yeah, similar to how the silent reds are more of a pink color.

Okay thanks, I couldn't really tell the difference visually in the housing but feeling the difference in pressing with a cap on versus a regular black definitely is quieter with the reduced travel. Just wanted to make sure! These things are definitely smoother as well.

I got a tracking number and the message said it was sent by DGM but I get no results from googling that. And no results from any worldwide tracking sites. Not feeling too antsy about it but wondering if anyone in the UK has got theirs yet?

It's DHL Global Mail.  It will probably transfer to your local mail service, at least mine did anyways.

Ah ok, cool cheers. I was just trying to think of a name for your keyboard btw.

Much preferred. Royal Mail automatically charge £8 just for handling it.

[pr0ximity]

Were these shipped via DHL? Had a package delivered today from somewhere around Jakarta but I think the driver delivered to the wrong house, just trying to figure out what it was lol.

Looks like this was actually different caps, so I'm still on the lookout for Silent Blacks ... 

[ehmlis]

I've also received my switches now.
Thank you for running this group buy.

The 8 quid charge only applies if you have to pay customs on it, and every courier will pass on this handling charge to the end user (yes I have had UPS and FedEx parcels that has the same amount tackled on along with the obligatory 20% VAT)

[Jubileus]

Just got my switches thru EMS. Thanks sennin!

Ah ok, thanks for the info. I always forget how it works exactly.  Anyway, my switches arrived today with no charge so hooray.

[Geckt]

Got mine yesterday. Thanks!

Finally got my switches in the mail, now just have to wait for the silent reds and linear grey. Thanks for hosting this GB!

[kustom3]

Got my silent blacks today. I have yet to try them on a board but they feel quite promising as they are. Definitely smoother than stock old blacks. That dark grey stem is a nice touch I didn't expect.

The only two areas I think could be improved in the future are the quantity and the tracking.

My package had a German label over the original Taiwanese one. The tracking number I got from the website never worked, however the one on the German label would have worked, had I gotten it. I live in Europe and this was delivered by my regular mailman (not DHL) with signature on delivery.

Thanks for the GB!

[pr0ximity]

Got mine today as well, turns iut they weren't lost in the mail after all!

They do feel quite nice, tough to tell how the bottom-out will be without puttting them on a board, but it feels less squishy than I feared. Now I just need to decide what build to commit them to  maybe M65, but if I really like them I'll need more for my next build.... decisions decisions

[Skull_Angel]

Still no shipping confirmation for me, did everyone get one already?

[TalkingTree]

The tracking number won't work with regular dhl tracking. You need to go to the dhl global mail site for tracking https://webtrack.dhlglobalmail.com

Saving that for another buy, thanks!

[Atredl]

That would've been useful. I got my switches today as well. That's two swift GBs

[Dreamre]

Got my switches about a week ago. Thanks for the smooth GB!

[rustywok]

Got mine today too. Thanks for the GB.

[pr0ximity]

If anyone's got ~40 extra switches they're not planning to use, I'd love to buy them off you

[Oatburner]

Haven't received mine yet, have all orders been shipped?

[Delirious]

are the stems supposed to be dark gray for these new silent blacks? I just got mine and it's very noticeable the color difference between the stems and the housings.

[TalkingTree]

are the stems supposed to be dark gray for these new silent blacks?

Likely so.

[renzpwns]

Just got it! And yeah they are on the gray side of things which doesn't really bother me. One great thing about them is that they aren't mushy at all!

[Delirious]

are the stems supposed to be dark gray for these new silent blacks?

Likely so.

Such ****ery, much wow. I wouldnt care as much if there were no such thing as Linear Grey out there.

[kustom3]

FWIW they're rather easy to tell apart.

[duynguyenle]

Yes they are a dark grey, just not black (in the same way that MX Silent Red is actually light pink instead of Red) and no, you can't mistake it for linear grey at all, Silent black is much darker.

[OfTheWild]

I've already ripped mine apart, sip sockets, stickers, and 65g gold springs    Now i'm just waiting for my Mira SE

Thank you.

[Prelim]

Not through the GB, but there are some on their website.

[Prelim]

[TalkingTree]

I received mine today. Thanks.

Again very happy with this Group Buy 

[futurecrime]

Yeah, great GB. Got my switches, they feel lovely to me on first impression. Ordered more from the website, along with some silent reds, and got a tracking number the same day. Thanks Sennin32!

Hey guys, is there anyone that could sell me a single cherry mx silent black switch? I just need one and they seem impossible to find

We sell it in 10 pcs per pack T_T

[shekki]

Yes, I only need one and it would also take weeks to arrive from Taiwan to US... Didn't know it was in stock at doyustudio though! Thought it was just a GB. Sorry if it was inappropriate to ask here by the way.

I think the question is totally fine.
I'm not sure if we got enough stock till Mon.
Reason why we put 10 PCs per lots is because of 1 pcs pay for the same shipping fee as 10.
I don't think there's any one willing to pay for 3~4 USD for shipping 1 switch 0.0

Thanks. I've ordered from Sennin32 several times in the past via eBay and the shipping times are fine and I'm not worried about that. What was new for me is not receiving any indication that they went out.
