Hello everyone!
My first group buy went off without a hitch https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=87434.0 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=87434.0). So I'm back for more this time with added variety.
There are the same Gateron switches, all 7 varieties in both standard and SMD housing at £0.24/switch. I've also got Kailh switches (RED/BLUE/BLACK/BROWN) at £0.24/switch and Cherry MX switches (RED/BLUE/BLACK/BROWN) at £0.44/switch.
For those outside the EU/UK I am aware that there are very possibly cheaper options in the states/your area, however for us in the UK these prices work out cheaper than buying abroad and paying import taxes etc... So do your research before buying. If you do find places cheaper let me know and I'll add them to this post. Be an informed buyer!
Shipping:
Last GB i charged for shipping after I received the switches, which wasn't that good. So this GB shipping will be flat rate and paid for in advance.
UK: £3.50
EU: £5.50
Everywhere else: £7.50

Giveaway Announcement
If 5000 switches are ordered, one lucky winner will receive their order doubled. In other words if you place an order for at least 40 switches on this GB. I will use the wonder that is RNG to choose an order number and that lucky winner will receive their order doubled. The maximum switches that can be won are 200 Gateron/Kailh and 100 Cherry switches. The winner will be able to choose their winnings and this can be a mixture of Cherry/Kailh and Gateron switches.

Joined, got a variety
Why no option for 5 pin Cherry switches? If you could only have one, I think 5 pin would be better since anyone not needing it can clip the extra pins off

I agree that 5 pin would be a better option, however my supplier only has the 3 pin variety. My hands are tied in this unless I find a new supplier and then I'd have to run Cherry switches as a separate GB to the Kailh and Gateron as they're all from the same supplier at the moment allowing for the combined MOQ. Perhaps that's an option to look into in the future.
Thanks for the order!

Nice, just joined.
Any idea how soon we can expect them to arrive?

I hope to get the order from the seller 17th-24th April and will send out to individuals ASAP. Which should mean that everyone *should* get their orders by the end of the month, although shipping times may vary for those further away from the UK.
