Post by: TheFlyingRaccoon on Wed, 04 September 2013, 00:15:38

I have 1 with stock switches, and 1 with switches lubed with Krytox GPL 200.

I have a whole box of these 3x5 PCBs that I made, but no-one buys them...

Neat, I like the idea of having two separate testers, one with stock switches and one with lubed. And would you PM me about those PCBs? I might want one.  :D

All the PCBs in the box have empty switch housings already soldered to them. Would you want one of those, or just a cut PCB without any empty switch housings? Also, what do you think is a fair price? I have hundreds of blank relegendables that can be used to label the switches as well.

I also have 2 of these 3700 style PCBs with empty switch housings and stabilizers.

Do you actually have more? (with switches on them)?

Whats the price :D

Make me an offer. They have empty switch housings on them, but I could make a fresh one with browns or nothing.

I'm so-so on the PCB but I would love some blank relegendables! How much would they be including shipping? Thanks.

If you buy at least 30 they go down to 50cents apiece (30 is the standard pack, but you can buy just a few for $1 apiece). 30 would be $19 shipped/paypaled within the contiguous 48.

I haven't bought any because I didn't know they existed! I'm down for at least one blank one, that would be some good soldering practice for me and I'd also have a switch tester.

Post by: noisyturtle on Wed, 04 September 2013, 00:54:36

A switch tester GB would be amazing. Maybe in 2 different designs - standard steel plate that's 4x5 and an aluminum long house that's 2x8.

Post by: The_Ed on Wed, 04 September 2013, 01:40:31

Alright, I'm thinking these for the prices. Everything is brand new, and I'm open to suggestions for the prices. But remember that it took time to make these (I have to desolder the switches before the PCBs can be cut, and then after washing the dust off of the PCBs I have to resolder the switches/empty switch housings back on).

$6 for a blank PCB
$11 for a PCB with empty switch housings soldered on
$15 for a PCB with brown switches soldered on
An additional $8 for 15 blank relegendables with the purchase of a PCB

$22? (because I only have 2) for a 3700 style PCB with empty switch housings soldered on and stabilizers

This is a sweet thread! Captn Bad ass should post his in here!
I am making one right now after his model but I ran out of unique switch funds so just got all vintage blacks for the time being,.

Where do you get the plates from for these?

My QWERkeys tester has only 6 switches, and I keep all my happy keycaps on it, but now I have 7 happy keycaps, but only 6 switches.  And more on the way ...

Are the stabs pcb mounted? If so sign me up for one 3700 style pcb. Also can you take out the housing and thus lower the price? I want to practice soldering and already have housings to use

These switches are so weird. They feel like nothing so like reds lol but they're 4 times longer. The top is a + still though. I didn't like Em. Popped me all out going to put MX in their place. The caps are too high for me as well I need low profile caps.

MX switches just fit straight into the holes in the plate, yes?

Here's mine (potato pics):
[attachimg=1]
[attachimg=2]
Switches are:
white, green, blue
brown, dark gray (linear), light gray (tactile)
ergo clear, clear
red, black

I built it out of extra bits I had lying around (a duck poker plate, a stock poker case, and some PBT poker keycaps) and some switches I bought from 7bit late last year. I put four of each switch in a row to try to give a good idea of what having a keyboard full of each switch would feel like, since I use it primarily to let friends try the different switches before they buy a keyboard.

Well, mine started off life as a switch tester.  Now it's a toy for my son!

All switches are blues with 55g springs.  There's a 3V battery inside so the LEDs light up when the keys are pressed.

I think it looks better with the GH keycap on it. ;)

A bit more info about the switches that are on the plates you've been cannibalizing (or at least, some really close-to-identical ones also on ebay):

Apparently possibly made by NEC.
I've got a 5x5 one I'm using to do some testing on custom controllers/firmware while I wait for my massive PCB order to arrive from Sprit.

I'm planning to build a custom 60% but before that I wanted to try out the soldering and the programming of teensy and learn what mistakes should I avoid in the future.

I was really tempted by qwer.io's QWER8 (http://www.qwer.io/shop/switch-testers/qwer8-v2-mx-switch-testing-kit/) but it's out of stock and their webstore seems to be between distributors.
Don't suppose anyone here knows anything about when they might be back up and running or any other places you can buy them from?
