• No support is proposed or implied you are buying plate mount MX Lock switches, Cherry part #MX1A-31NN what you do with it is up to you to figure out.
• For anyone asking how we are getting these somewhat 'rare' switches that cherry stopped producing. What is left is what can be gleamed from NOS (new old stock) sitting on suppliers shelves, I have zero reason to doubt the supplier but this is part of the group buy risk and something that usually gets asked. I'm just trying to be transparent.

Timeline

*I'd like this buy to go very quick, I'd love to sell out in one day but will give it a week but may limit the total number of orders simply to make it more manageable.

Orders Are Open for One Week From Approval or Until MOQ Sold Out

Lead time on switches from supplier is estimated at 3-5 days processing on their end plus shipping time to me.

I'll try and have all my supplies on hand to begin shipping ASAP, how long it will take me to finishing shipping depends on total number of orders.

Terms

*There is always a risk when participating in a group buy, I will do everything within my ability to make sure this all happens quickly and smoothly.

This is a no MOQ group buy meaning it will happen, however do realize this means I am taking on risks by committing to buy out any remaining MOQ so the pricing reflects this.

These will be shipped from the CONUS and payment will be by PayPal goods invoice, make sure your shipping information is correct in your PayPal account as I will only ship to confirmed addresses.

These will be fulfilled in the order that makes the most sense for me to get them all out quickly and efficiently. i.e. larger or smaller orders will take precedent on a given sorting/packing day depending on what shipping drop off options I have available that day, international orders will probably ship after CONUS, etc.

I reserve the right to deny participation for any reason or no reason.

My responsibility ends when I ship your stuff, if you want insurance that will be extra and evaluated on a case by case basis and is up to you to ask.

Finally the good stuff...

Pricing

I reserve the right to change pricing if a valid reason arises that I have not considered, pricing for very large orders might get preferred pricing.

I have tried to simplify pricing by offering specific options with handling costs etc built in, if you feel none of these options apply to you please PM me and we can discuss.


International

I may limit the total number of international orders.

*Shipping will be calculated on an individual basis for international orders since it varies quite a bit depending upon destination.

3 Pack of MX Lock Switches $18 plus shipping

10 or More MX Lock Switches $5/switch plus shipping


CONUS

*Depending on how the group buy goes I may have to limit the number of spots per tier, that is TBD.

3 Pack of MX Lock Switches shipped USPS First Class Bubble Mailer $20

5 Pack of MX Lock Switches shipped USPS Priority Small Box $30

10 or more switches will be $5/switch shipped USPS Priority Small Box (If your order won't safely fit in a priority small box there will be additional shipping cost.)

Order Here*First 5 orders get a FREE GIFT. 

*My apologies for the form I'm still new to using forms. 

Post or PM with Questions if something isn't clear.

No idea what I'll do with these but why not.

Also the form has the same price for 5 switches as 3. Obviously that is incorrect...

[closepositive]

Ordered 10 pieces, thank you so much for this GB 

[laughatpain]

Submitted for 10, just a quick note. The order form has CONUS 3 switches and CONUS 5 switches both priced at $20. Seems like a typo since the original post has 5 switches at $30.

[JDragon]

In for 5 switches. No idea what I'll use them for yet, but excited to play around with them.

[pr0ximity]

Bummer think I missed the ~~mYsTeRy GiFt~~ but I'm in for a few

[autobot]

I've never used these, and am thinking about using this for my first build...

So newbie question:

Does the LED position line up with the centered caps lock position when LED's are south and switch is in the off-centered position on a DIY/custom/group buy pcb? And can a PCB be programmed to sync up off-centered caps lock switch with centered caps lock LED?

I'd love to use a windowed stepped locking caps lock with LED. 

[eyedrop]

Just placed my order for a set of 5.   

[hebbler]

In for 5.  Thanks for setting this up!

[iamtootallforthis]

Which color lock switch are they if you know by any chance?

Thanks for the heads up, I was rushing the form.

Thanks for the clarification.

On form, you did not ask for the address if CONUS? I will use MSB.

Right, CONUS orders I am not concerned with shipping cost but I need to estimate shipping for international.

When you will need the CONUS address? You will ask for that address and will not use the paypal address right?

No as has been stated I will only ship to PayPal confirmed addresses.

PM me and we can work it out since everyone has you to thank for this group buy anyways.

Thanks for that  Sent you a PM.

[Slash Emperor]

Just submitted for 20!

[SpAmRaY]

Just a heads up if you haven't ordered yet we are really close to selling out already IF everyone pays for what they filled the order form out for.

[a_ak57]

In for 3 for the novelty.  Out of curiosity, for those of you getting a fair number of them, what do you plan to do with them?

[r5d]

Thanks for running this!

[MNZT]

Ordered! These will be great for two rows in a 5x5 control panel (that's if it's not an arm and a leg for international shipping  ).

[SpAmRaY]

It'll be a few hours before I can catch up on what was ordered overnight but my gut feeling is we are probably sold out.

[tristinDLC]

If you haven't sold out yet and there are at least 3 (or fewer for a reduced price), I'd be in for a CONUS order.

Thinking of using them for FN layers for different builds, especially 40% and lower.

[Unforgivable]

Darn it. I knew I should've filled it out asap.

[tristinDLC]

Just fill in the form 

Crap I wasn't quick enough. Oh well, I guess I'll wait until next round or make due without. Should have been faster.

I got you don't worry.


Also as a general update we definitely sold out so I'm reaching out to another supplier and see if I can get access to more switches.

Ok. I will just wait for your update. Thanks

Just paid my invoice.

Will you be creating a Discord server while running this GB? (For status updates etc.)

This thread serves as the main source of updates. I've never even used Discord.

And as a way of general update I've sent out a block of US invoices.

Alright, that's fine. Also, my e-mail address really has two n's in it. Not a typo.

[dubious]

oh, that was fast 

keeping an eye on this thread

Yeah I knew it would go fast but not this fast...I'm reaching out to any supplier I can find.

[Azzures]

Damn, missed it. Guess I'll keep an eye on this thread.

Getting a weird error when I try to pay the invoice.

No idea, I sent the invoices out in groups others have been paying since I sent them out. Maybe clear your browser cache or try a different browser?

Getting the same error when trying to pay my invoice. Using a different browser doesn't seem to help. Had another invoice waiting as well and was able to pay that one no problem....

Let's give it until tomorrow then I'll cancel and resend or do something else. I've sent out ~50 invoices so maybe that's causing a problem.


Another general update, I have invoiced everyone in the initial round of invoicing both CONUS and International.

If you didn't get an invoice all hope is not lost yet, I should be able to fulfill a few more orders and am trying to find more switches but so far have struck out.

And again if anyone is having trouble with the invoices let's give it 24 hours or so and see if the kinks work themselves out.

[kustom3]

Had some funny stuff happening too (not the same as screenshoted above though) but it went through at the third try.

[eksuen]

If anyone has a single switch left over they'd like to sell, I'll take it.

[.]

Just saw the invoice and I'm actally surprised because of the shipping cost.. Isn't there a cheaper option for shipping 3 switches?

[duynguyenle]

I never received any invoices. Does that mean I didn't make it?

I sent you an invoice last night.

If you'd like I'll just cancel the invoice as I've already got more orders than switches available from the supplier.

Glad it worked out for you.


I've had a few people contact me about the invoices and it seems like waiting is working so maybe they all work now. If anyone is still having issues let me know and I'll send you a direct link to the invoice, I just did that for someone and it worked.

[ChitownM2]

Mine went through today. These should be fun to play with
