Where to buy 80 cN springs to emulate MX Green switches, and other springs?

[spremino]

I know that someone could use springs from MX Black switches - which are 60 cN - to emulate MX Green switches, but I wonder if I could emulate the original MX Green better.  Thank you.

ghetto green are blues with clear springs

just buy some 78g springs from somewhere, it's basically the same thing

These would be close.

Not sure where else to buy springs there are tons of little shops popping up selling keyboard parts and it's hard to keep track of then.

Maybe check on r/mk to.

Do ya'll  think we should stop referring to black springs in blue as ghetto greens..

because if we think about it, that's extremely racist to directly associate black switches to black people to them living in ghettos..


/geekhack politically correct patrol.

hahaha..

Just to preempt,  i know someone's gonna make the argument that the term Ghetto in Ghetto green is --a verb-- as in ghetto-ized / to make do / to duct tape / to substitute..


While that may be the operational aspect,   the previously mentioned perturbing associative chain remains.


idk...  - it's just not nice -

Nah, MX Clear springs are significantly different. MX Black springs are what you probably mean, and it's recorded that way in Deskthority wiki too.

Modded switches with MX Clear springs are typically called "ghost *", e.g., "ghost black" (that's what I like).
