supergo-clears!

got some 55g korean springs and decided to throw them in my ergo clear poker.
so far i'm liking it quite a bit. the tactile bump is much more noticeable to me once i get a good cadence going-- things kind of glide a bit more. i have not tried lubing these but i will be soon (getting some ro59 next week i think).
i did have to try a few springs as i imagine the tolerances were not all perfect -- some springs just refused to reliably re-set the stem. now i'm not having any problems with keys sticking.

hopefully my poker case from imsto comes soon. i also want to try this combo plate mounted when i have the chance.

anybody else tried this combo?

Nice. I'm going to try 65g and 50g later this week

I'm going to convert my switch testers into lube and spring testers soon.  Looking forward to discovering good combos like this one.

i think they're going to be a lot nicer with lube. this might not be a good combo for everybody but it is an interesting mod for people who like both tactile and ridiculously light switches (me).

Super light switch? Isn't a red/blue/brown spring a 45g spring? So 55g spring should be more heavy? And how are you guys sourcing these korean springs?

brown/red/blue is 45g at actuation, but we dont know what the max compression is
55g is but lighter than brown/red/blue at actuation but 55g at max compression

What's stock MX Clear's spring force? I thought they were heavy, so the ergo-clear mod puts in the lighter 45g springs...

Ah I see. So it's 55g at full compression, not actuation point. Where can I get these 55g springs as well? If I can get some, I'll do this mod and post back.

MX clears is relatively close to MX black springs I believe.

Clears is slightly stiffer than black, I don't know by how much.

I'm really interested in trying out super ergo clears as well Just gotta wait for my board to get here and get some custom springs.
