[godofdeath]

Mouser has them.

It's a LOT cheaper from army group. I think they're like $0.28 per switch...that site is 4 times as much.

and im just waiting for a brown filco now unless i get impatient

You could get a parts board to harvest switches from. Sometimes it might be cheaper that way.

I'm sure the shipping would be only in the ~$10 range.

If you only want a few, then Mouser is a pretty good way to go. My bro was getting into mech boards but he wanted to try some of the switches first, so he bought 2 blues, clears, and blacks. He would have purchased more variety, but they were not available. Using these switches, you can do some of the ghetto mods alright. The blue springs can be used to try ghetto reds and ghetto browns with the stems from black and clear switches.

Granted, the stems from clears and browns are different enough that the clear stem with a blue spring is not a very good analog for browns, but it is fun to try.

Can you explain ?

It's an US thing only ?

A nation invasion is needed to get that price or what else ? <<<edit: nevermind, just figured what armygroup is

Btw, army group or not,

www.onlinecomponents.com has the switches, with better prices than mouser or digikey, they ship also internationally but they doesn't accept CC payment from people outside the US ( ) so it's a cheaper option just for the American people.

Already figured, that they are the not smartest people in the world.

I can understand some stores that doesn't ship in some countries because they don't trust the foreign mail service, the foreign toll procedure or whatever.

But shipping everywhere w/o accepting a credit card transaction seem completely out of mind.

BTW too bad @armygroup cherry clears are out of stock.
