What are these?
« on: Sat, 18 May 2013, 10:00:55 »
Ok so anybody got any ideas what these are and if they would be worth harvesting switches from etc?

I'm pretty sure they are clear switches any idea what board(s) they might be?

They look like clears to me (You can see a grey spacebar in the top photo). Are these from Taobao? No idea on whether it'd be worth it without knowing price of the items along with shipping cost.

Edit - Ask the seller to desolder them for you. Shipping will be a lot cheaper  :p

So how would one go about asking this if your going through an agent?? and I though about using them for desoldering/soldering practice  :o

Also would any of these boards if cheap enough be worth it for the stabilizers also?

You ask the agent to ask the seller to desolder the switches. I can't guarantee you'll get a yes, but I've had it done before. Also, I would pass on the switches unless you're getting them for no more than 30-40 cents each after agent fee, paypal fee, and shipment x 2. After all, they are used. I'm also fairly sure shipping those whole boards will be at least $30-40, whereas shipping 100-200 switches would only be $5-$10.

No idea on stabs.

Ehhh you might have been right about the last photo, but even then they have the same exact stem as clears.

I'm thinking these might be able to be had for 30-40 cents per switch....maybe

I'll use this as another opportunity in my review of my current taobao agent.

I think the first 2 are pieces of G80-9009, the bottom are probably from a WEY.

I'm not sure - top one doesn't look like G80-9009 layout to me..  top segment layout is all wrong for a G80-9009. I think the top one is a Compaq of some flavor.

The top keyboard's upper circuit board is just upside down ...

Cherry G80-9009.

Yes, I inverted it.. also derped up and misread the one side as being 1x1*2 not 1x2. Definitely a 9009, yes. *facepalm*

Could they be vintage Whites?  The G80-9009 was produced in the 1990s.  The current incarnation of White switches began around 2007.

The switch is not to be confused with the Cherry MX Clear which also has translucent white sliders. Modern switches can be told apart more easily because their sliders are opaque, but vintage switches are visually almost indistinguishable to Clears.
