Checked. They don't have anything fitting our needs, will have to make special enquiry.

They got
50g actuation / 100g bottom out
and
128g actuation / 256g bottom out
it seems >.>

What springs are you talking about?

What springs are you talking about?

RDF-1223, RDF-1224, RDF-1277, RDF-1278

[linziyi]

I don't think they are compatible for cherry switches......

[TheSoulhunter]

I don't think they are compatible for cherry switches......

Not sure...

Stock clear spring: L ~13 mm / D ~3.3mm
RDF-1223 spring: L 12.7 mm / D 3.2 mm

[TheSoulhunter]

But yeah, perhaps we should do a custom enquiry for 35/70g, 40/80g, 50/100g springs at exact dimensions... GB anyone? :3

Reply from originative.co:

How heavy are you looking for?

Are you going to have a huge order?  I can get in a private order.

Kind Regards

Already talking to the originative people

If you want, you can do an IC, or I can start it, I have no issues.

[linziyi]

still waiting for reply for MOQ and available options

[The_Ed]

There are 3 rare switches made by cherry that are in the range you want: MX Super Black (linear), MX Ultra Blue (clicky), and MX Super Grey (clicky) -> (I was actually the one who coined Super Grey long ago, though I have yet to acquire any of the Super/Ultra switches...). Ultra is the term designated for switches that are stiffer than Super, and Super is already stiffer than current production. There is probably a Super/Ultra tactile switch out there, but it has yet to be discovered.

Thanks your info

Ultra blue or Navy Blue, I just found out super grey is clicky not tactile,
Linear:Super black
Clicky:Ultra blue,super grey
Tactile:??

any pict? it better

[The_Ed]

I believe there was someone who said that there is a red dot on the bottom of Super Black switches, and that pic doesn't show the bottom...

[linziyi]

Ok the MOQ of custom springs is 3000 from originativeco, anyone interested?

[yasuo]

I interest
but not sure

[MOZ]

What weight? Pricing?

[linziyi]

I think we should do an interest check and see what people wants. I will ask for pricing.

[SpAmRaY]

Ok the MOQ of custom springs is 3000 from originativeco, anyone interested?

So we need 30 people to get 100 springs.

[The_Ed]

28 at 110... You wouldn't want people who have fullsize boards to have to order 2 sets of 100.

[linziyi]

It would be $5 for 100 spring, not bad at all!

[SpAmRaY]

28 at 110... You wouldn't want people who have fullsize boards to have to order 2 sets of 100.

Ed's math makes more sense.

[linziyi]

Interest form up, need some suggestion about the google form...

Would migrate this to a separate thread if enough interest is shown!

[yasuo]

What compatible with alps?

[MOZ]

Email coming linziyi

[yasuo]

hi mohitag
what you choose spring?

[MOZ]

I would go for 100g, 120g and 150g, anything heavier will be too much I think

[TheSoulhunter]

Voted 70 and 120 :3

[MOZ]

Hold your horses there is a proper IC incoming, working out the kinks right now.

[linziyi]

I want 350g springs

[SpAmRaY]

[Thimplum]

I tried the dual 80g spring merge mod, and even my beast of a fingers had to bow down to the stiffness. Waaaaaaaaaay too stiff.

Haha! That reminds me of my friend's baby grand.

How did you get so many posts‽!? I swear that you were at 100 posts just a minute ago...

I've had 2 or 3 days like that.

It's so satisfying when all of the first ten threads in "keyboards" say "last post by Thimplum"

What KB are you using now?

At the moment I'm on an ASUS laptop, with a chiclet keyboard. It's actually not half bad for a laptop keyboard.

Don't go the way of Ripster... You'll get perma-banned if you post too much...

But how do you know how Ripster spammed?? I never experienced it.

[The_Ed]

Ripster's spam was the only spam worth reading as he would actually integrate real help and knowledge into some of his posts.

If you read the old threads, you can see his posts when people quoted him.

Plus, he's banned on Deskthority, but his posts weren't deleted.

Or on OCN.

Or on reddit.

I miss Ripster, for the great amount of information he posted, AND FOR HIS SPAM (because usually it was the fun sort of spam)!

[yasuo]

[MOZ]

[MOZ]

MOQ is very high, 50,000 for above 100g, I doubt we'll ever hit those numbers.

Oh Shiz... I thought it was 3000, that's what he told me anyway

[MOZ]

That is for the springs he has, he was confused too.

At that quantity what's the price per spring?
