MX Standard / 24K Gold plated - Design & Made by SPRiT (All in Stock)
I follow the Cherry Original specs and GeekHack Standard, Not the narrow range of old local Korean ones.
This is the First large scale Systematic production in the world.
Research into the History of Cherry original springs, filling the missing gaps, and added the Modern users' needs.
This wide scale Never happened in Korea either, only 3-4 kinds of weights available currently.
There have been reports on my springs : cloud soft, smoother, comfy, elastic, cushiony bottom out, much less squeaking... Well, I am not happy yet.
To the members' requests, I have been trying to apply better materials, minimize tolerances and variations, working close with the specialized factories.
As more steps and electrochemical processes involved, chances are there for some physical changes.
Yes, I do All the Inspections and Quality Controls for myself on every step, if there is a defective one, its due to my eyes get bad.
Sure, I have added several private Tweaks to be the true custom. And it's Gold plated at a Jewelry workshop for the better result.
Gold vs Non Gold? I don't have any belief in Gold, but in the Quality.
Ever touched my springs? Ever compared mine to others?
It's the matter of Fundamental Design and Production Quality.
Badly Designed without Philosophy, and Badly plated springs will result in a horrible experience, as We seen in Gateron and others.
For the Latest version, I have applied Extra Fine Tuning and Reinforced Surface Smoothness - Need No lube! or very minimal !

can it be shipped by first class instead of priority?
You'd need to buy boxes to ship them. Since people will be buying all kinds of order sizes, it likely won't be much more economical to buy a slew of random sized boxes and packing material (tape, peanuts/bubblewrap/foam) than it would to use the Flat Rate boxes. In the long run, it's just easier to go the Flat Rate route since all the needed boxes can be dropped at home.
Still new here. Is there any benefit to gold plated springs or do they just look cool?
Some claim they add a difference to the feel. I just think they're blingy.

1. Boxes are free
2. Shipping is faster
3. Shipping has tracking
4. Invoicing MUCH MUCH easier. Sprit is going to be charging the flat rate for shipping so all I have to do is get the boxes and ship them out. Otherwise I would need to invoice for shipping.
ETC
Price wouldn't be more than a dollar or so less if I chose first class in the first place.
Sorry if this is a bit confusing, I am plaing titanfall and it is 12 at night, I will elaborate later if you need to, but I think I am clear enough :P

I don't have the latest infos on what is exactly that 62g in USA currently.
My 62g is definitely slightly heavier than MX Blue. :)
This GB will run for a limited time for the Qty I produced. :)

Any recommendations out there for these springs on linears? I'm using 55g (force between browns and blacks) lubed MX reds, and I quite like them. I feel like getting one of each set, from 62g to 100g just to try them out. I wish there was a spring tester bag :(Hi! remdel :)
Do You like MX Red stock springs? I'd like to recommend 60g.
A Spring Tester Bag : Thanks for the Great Idea! :)

Sprit, as I'd mentioned in a PM, GH community considers stock Red/Brown/Blue springs to be 60g--maybe 58g but not 55g. It might be confusing to others to refer to stock light springs as 55g.
OK! Thanks! Mr. Photoelectric ! :thumb:

Can you also offer this for Europe? I could be your proxy for EU.

How many bags are you expecting to purchase? I'm shipping these in cardboard boxes so the springs don't get crushed/deformed in transit, so I'll need to find the optimal box size!

What do you mean by you added an initial soft touch? Is this Sprit exclusive :0? I'm assuming other springs don't have this.
Hi! Dreamre :)
an initial soft touch = a slight soft-er and lighter start than Cherry stocks, I mean.
Nothing exclusive, need to be evaluated by GH Members. :)

You should be fine with padded envelopes. It'll cost a stamp to ship vs $8-$13. :)

Someone didn't believe me when I said they were just gold plated for the longest time =.=.
Feeling wise I really don't see a difference at all, if anything gold isn't as prone to rust as normal springs so longevity is there.

I wish that was the case. :(
I've asked sprit about the dimensions for every bag of springs and they're approximately 10x10x2cm. Maximum "oversize" lettermail has a height restriction of 20mm. If I were to mail the springs in a bubble mailer it'll be ~4cm.
The good news is that Canadian invoices will be sent in CAD!

Yes, German Post has a flatrate for everything outside of Germany.
So, I could send these springs to India in a padded envelope with tracking for ~8,50$ (up to 500g per envelope if I am not mistaken).
I guess I'll have to add ~1$ to that because the initial shipping costs from Sprit to me have to be distributed among everybody that gets the spings from me.

Stamped envelope: I sent a few springs as samples to someone in a letter envelope, and at least two got deformed/flattened. I'd not send springs as anything but small package after that experience, in a bubble mailer, with extra bubble wrap. Normal letter mail gets squished between a lot of flat letters.
I just talked with Sprit about that. He proposed to use little plastic containers to protect the springs.
The max size of the envelope can be 35cm x 25cm x 5cm and 500g.
I guess we could put the springs in those plastic containers and put that container into the envelope and still be under 5cm height. We'll check what options there are :thumb:

What type of container are you thinking of? If it's got sharp corners and/or hard material, it may rip through the envelope/crack into pieces when tossed and stacked on during Air mail.
Post by: LechnerDE on Fri, 14 March 2014, 04:35:24
I don't think it's worth it to ship 10$ springs in a 25$ box just to avoid some broken springs. It would be cheaper to order 2x the springs you need and sort out the broken ones ;)
We will make a decision on that matter after we have checked all the alternatives.
Post by: sprit on Fri, 14 March 2014, 04:43:17

How many bags are you expecting to purchase? I'm shipping these in cardboard boxes so the springs don't get crushed/deformed in transit, so I'll need to find the optimal box size!
Probably three sets of springs.
Decisions...

You missed a "r" in Europe in the OP :)
Do you mind if I post this on Deskthority.net as well?
:-[ I put a Big ' R ' :'( on EuRopa.
I dont mind your posting on deskthority.net :) Thanks!

I'll be getting only one bag, will fill out the form once I've had some coffee ;)
Very rare we get a Canadian proxy--thanks very much Zeal!

I am pretty sure that I ordered springs with the main group buy as well, probably 62s, I guess I'll have an extra bag or two of some weight when I get those...
Post by: Kouni on Fri, 14 March 2014, 10:00:44
Now to choose. Probably 62s.

We don't know yet. If we don't find a reasonable solution I'll have to use real boxes, but this will be ~25$ for max 2kg.
I don't think it's worth it to ship 10$ springs in a 25$ box just to avoid some broken springs. It would be cheaper to order 2x the springs you need and sort out the broken ones ;)
We will make a decision on that matter after we have checked all the alternatives.
My original quote from SPRIT was $25 postage from him to UK..that was for 3 spring sets and a krytox lube...so wouldnt make sense to do flat rate shipping from Germany to UK (generalising to Europe here). I had an old pcb full of switches sent from Germany to UK - that was 5EUR postage. I also had 110 MX Switches sent from germany to UK - that was 3 EUR postage.

The 25$ is the quote for shipping in a box, because people were concerned that the springs might get damaged in a padded envelope.
As I posted earlier this is not reasonable for a set of 11$ springs in my opinion, but that's for you to decide.
The prices for shipping the switches you were talking about are for shipping without tracking.
If you don't need tracking it would be cheaper, but I don't take responsibility for lost shipments.
Post by: fart_toast on Fri, 14 March 2014, 10:46:25
OK, I am in the UK so was seeing if I was needed but I think you have UK/EU covered LechnerDE! Thanks for that! I'll put in a spring order after work (next few hours) to get the EU order count up.
Gold springs! Exciting haha
Post by: fart_toast on Fri, 14 March 2014, 10:49:30
Stamped envelope: I sent a few springs as samples to someone in a letter envelope, and at least two got deformed/flattened. I'd not send springs as anything but small package after that experience, in a bubble mailer, with extra bubble wrap. Normal letter mail gets squished between a lot of flat letters.
THIS ^^^^ A padded letter is fine for protection. No need for box. Just a paper envelope is not enough to protect them.

Confirmed, I have 2 cases, one from Royal Mail reached me after 60 days because they printed my address in poor quality ink so the VNPost cannot delivery it to me, they need to communicate backward and forward and then BOOM I need to pay 20% additional tax :confused: the other from Deutsche Post can reach me after 18 calendar days, everything is free.
Anyway, it all depends and we need to take into account that Deutsche Post was related partially to the giant DHL.

Apparently you can from the front, a little bit, unless you block that part with an LED.
Yes, just a little bit.

Post by: LechnerDE on Tue, 18 March 2014, 08:05:25
As you can see Sprit and I were talking about different shipping options and means to protect the springs.
There are a lot of hidden costs involved in getting the springs from Sprit to me and then to you (envelopes, PayPal fees, the little plastic boxes, etc.).
So for the sake of simplicity we added a little extra to the pure shipping price to cover this. Those of you who ordered multiple sets of springs might get invoiced for shipping in a box. If it turns out there is a cheaper option, I will refund you the difference. Same goes for all the German orders, since national shipping is obviously cheaper than international shipping.
Disclaimer
I am doing this proxy thing as a non profit service for the community. I will do my best do keep the shipping costs as low as possible, but I'd also like to not suffer a financial loss by doing so - the time investment is already enough ;)
Unless you opted for shipping in a box we can't guarantee that the springs don't get damaged, so shipping in an envelope is on your own risk! The little plastic boxes should provide reasonable protection though.
I am only responsible for the shipping part of this GB. If there is something wrong with the springs themselves please to talk to Sprit about it. On this note: I won't count the springs and will send you the sets as labeled by Sprit. If there happens to be a problem I am sure we can find an appropriate solution for it :thumb:

If you got some bad sets, Send me PM, I will fix the problem! ;)
Best warranty ever on GH ;).

They tend to stuck together too easily. After EMS Flight, You may need to separate them gently.

Looking at the forms, it appears to be cheaper to ship springs to me from Europe than it is to ship from the Canada proxy. I seriously hate Canada Post :/
I may pick some up just for the hell of it, particularly if I decide to go ergo clear.
It's unfortunate that CP's shipping prices are high, but you have to factor in delivery time, exchange rates, 2.5%CC fees, and 3.9% + €0.35 Int'l PP fees. Once you factor in all those fees, it's actually more expensive. Expedited shipping is also not available for off the counter pricing. It already costs less, and ships faster than Tracked Package.
@Canadian orders
Spirt will send our shipment by next week as there was a lack of 62g springs, and we had a couple last minute orders that will all be shipped together.

If you create them using PayPal--yes, if you add the receipent's e-mail address or ship from an invoice. If you print via your post website, you probably need to specify recepients' e-mail address.

Okay, so this is how the springs are packed. Each person gets one or two large zip-loc bags (depending on how large the order was) and inside of each bag there are smaller bags with each spring weight. :thumb:

The gold is Not my belief, just happend to get that color plated.
To plate the common Nickel, or other? - My reckless decision was : Gold color. :D
So I am waiting for the evaluations for the spring itself, Not for the gold-plating.
Gold color does not mean anything to me . (just color) :)

Although the springs are already in Germany, I didn't get a notification yet. I assume the package is still in Customs. Let's hope it won't take ages until they process the shipment.
As soon as I get them, I will post pictures and start sending out envelopes :)

Spring swapping is tedious, but spring swapping, lubing and stickering is even harder XD
I guess having a beast tool would help a lot, but I don't have one and don't do enough switch modding to actively seek one out.
Everyone should have their tracking # by now, I sent them to your paypal emails. If you didn't get one and want it, just PM me and I will send it to you. Most of these are 2 day shipping, with just a couple are 3 day shipping due to distance. So expect them Wednesday and Thursday.

Yeah, I wish I had a set of beast tools, but I found the parts of a binder clip to suffice. Bent them and after taking apart 20 switches, they were still in perfect condition, so I'll take that. As for stickering, that takes two seconds, it's lubing that I'm gonna hate haha. I have some nice krytox all ready to go on everything, and once I get my plate back, I'll have the Race 2 of my dreams.

It takes me a long time to get all of the stickers in place.
Update people, if you order 5 or more packs of springs you need to select that on the order form because it is more expensive.
I was able to get one persons order from round 1 with 6 spring packs in a flat rate box. But only because they were initially packed a certain way and I am not going to deal with that again. Two people from the first round had massive orders before this was decided on so the little bit of overhead from this covered that. The bigger boxes are using priority mail as well, but insurance only covers $50 worth of the value so I have to pay for insurance.
It is the last day to order, after the 31st round 2 is done.

:thumb:A million thanks for your willingness to proxy HPE! :)
+1
Thanks again HPE
+2. Prepping these and getting them into my clears all week is gonna take my mind off of waiting for my plate =D
Spring swapping is tedious, but spring swapping, lubing and stickering is even harder XD
I guess having a beast tool would help a lot, but I don't have one and don't do enough switch modding to actively seek one out.
Everyone should have their tracking # by now, I sent them to your paypal emails. If you didn't get one and want it, just PM me and I will send it to you. Most of these are 2 day shipping, with just a couple are 3 day shipping due to distance. So expect them Wednesday and Thursday.
Yeah, I wish I had a set of beast tools, but I found the parts of a binder clip to suffice. Bent them and after taking apart 20 switches, they were still in perfect condition, so I'll take that. As for stickering, that takes two seconds, it's lubing that I'm gonna hate haha. I have some nice krytox all ready to go on everything, and once I get my plate back, I'll have the Race 2 of my dreams.
tried the binder clip mod. Couldn't bend them the correct way. Ended up just getting beast tools

I tried, one side worked okay, the other no so much. It also seemed to bend the switch tops a LOT more than just prying to tiny little flat head screwdrivers in each side.:thumb:A million thanks for your willingness to proxy HPE! :)

Good to know. How would blues with 65g springs from this GB compare to stock blues and stock greens? I'm in the Massdrop GB for an Ergodox kit and still torn on switch choice. I was down to greens, blues, and clears. Now I'm debating getting blues and swapping to the 65g springs.
Sprit says his 65g springs are similar to vintage blues. A tad lighter than MX Greens and Vintage Blacks, but also a bit stiffer than modern day Blues.

Hopefully there's at least 4 springs for each weight, so I can lighten up my arrow keys with <60g springs :S
Post by: Zeal on Mon, 31 March 2014, 13:31:27
Hey zeal, any idea on how many springs per weight we're getting per sample pack for the Canadians?
Hopefully there's at least 4 springs for each weight, so I can lighten up my arrow keys with <60g springs :S
Unless Sprit magically packed some more sample springs, it'll most likely only be 1 per weight now, as we have some R2 orders grouped in this shipment.

Hey guys,
just a little update for the EU / WORLDWIDE orders.
Although the springs are already in Germany, I didn't get a notification yet. I assume the package is still in Customs. Let's hope it won't take ages until they process the shipment.
As soon as I get them, I will post pictures and start sending out envelopes :)
Thanks! I've been wondering about the status. Darn it customs!

Glad they showed up so fast! :D
No, you don't need to be charged more, it's all good. :thumb:
I need to get a spreadsheet made up after the 2nd round to figure out total cost of supplies and such, so I can see if I need to do some refunding(far more orders than initially anticipated). Or if people agreed, just let me donate the extra to GH or something. It wouldn't be much per person at all but it starts adding up obviously.

obviously will have to do a full keyboard but these 68g feel to be exactly what i was looking for. i wish i had proper measurement tools but the 62g and 55g seem very similar to the korean 55g and 62g springs you get from originative.

But CP still sucks...the mailman decided to not leave a slip on my door because no one was home. How was I supposed to know if there is a package waiting for me if I didn't have the tracking number? On the website, it says a notice was left for me...but there isn't -___-. Uber unreliable...not the first time.

For those who received their springs, any evaluations of the springs itself? :DI have springs, but no switches. Some day I'll have a different keyboard and will be willing to consider disassembling my monoprice -- but for now, that's my only mechanical so ... yeah.
Anyway, springs look good. I look forward to putting them into switches.

Ok guys, I was at the post office today and sent out the majority of the orders. The ones that didn't go out today were not 100% correct so I have to speak with Sprit. For example I have 1x 85g springs for someone who isn't on my list and some other minor errors, but I suppose these were just mislabeled. I will clarify this with Sprit over the weekend and ship them on Monday :thumb:
It should take max. 10 days for these shipments to be delivered. If you don't receive your springs within the next 2 weeks please contact me and I will check the tracking manually.
Status
79% = Shipped
0% = Delivered
0% = Confirmed Complete
Shipping itself wasn't as smooth as I hoped. Due to the extra safe packaging some envelopes got bigger than expected which increased the costs (we are talking about millimeters here!). And then there were some other issues with hidden fees that were not mentioned on the website of Deutsche Post. For example I had multiple orders from the UK that were shipped in the exact same envelope, had the exact same weight and still didn't cost the same...
I blocked the service counter for an hour and had an angry mob behind me so I didn't want to question everything and just paid the total invoice.
Long story short:
I will be ~15 Euro short after I have sent out the remaining orders on monday. This won't kill me of course, but maybe you guys can help me break even? Maybe the German guys can pass on their shipping refund? If you have received your springs and were happy with the proxy service please consider making a little donation for me :)
Thank you!

1x 55g
1x 60g

1x 68g
But another entry says you also want 62g springs, but no 68g springs.

No sorry, your order was among those that didn't ship today. Sorry, I had to check back with Sprit on it.
You had 1x 85g springs right? I will ship it out on monday!
And yes, I have a tracking number for everyone, but it's not automated. I'd prefer not to provide it for every single order unless there is a problem. The thing is I'd have to manually check which code belongs to which order, prepare a PM and copy a string of letters and numbers by hand each time. If I do this for every order it's a lot of time.
But I'll make an exception for you and send you the link as soon as I get it :thumb:

Post by: sprit on Sat, 05 April 2014, 09:57:30
For example, if You ordered 2sets of 60g, it may be packed into one Plastic Box - to save the space and prevent damages, and to reduce Mailing costs inside EU,
and finally to get into the Deutsch Bubble Mailer Envelope (max. 4 Plastic boxes, I guess).
I put an extra empty small pouch in each Plastic Box. :)
When there is some shipping cost difference, PM me please! ;)

It didn't leave Vancouver. Look at Sprit's screenshot of it arriving/flying to Vancouver. "Departure from Airport" time is KR time (16 hours ahead of PST), and arrival is local time. Flying from Asia to Canada takes ~12-13 hours, so that's why it looks like it left Vancouver again. :p

Springs received! Now time to pack 1x 50g-100g tester springs for everyone (110 total ziplock packets!!!) There's no 120g tester springs unfortunately, as sprit didn't have any extras.

Shipping across Canada doesn't take THAT long! :p
I should have the packages sorted and ready to go by today (won't make it before today's 5pm cut-off). Depending if the PO is still open by the time I finish, I'll drop them off today; else I'll drop them off before cut-off time tomorrow.

Btw, for those that requested their stabilizer sets in this shipment, Sprit was generous enough to include 4x shiny stabilizer wires, 4x matte stabilizer wires & 6.25x and 7x spacebar stabs! :eek: Many thanks Sprit!!! :thumb:
Now, I'm about to get spammed by Canada Post with 30 emails...consisting of "Electronic shipment received", "Item Dropped off at PO", "Item Delivered" :'( :'( :'(
Paypal, why did you have to start sending the "seller" tracking notifications starting this month?!! T_T

I got 55g, 2*62g, and 65g from Sprit. 1 set of 62g are for ergo clears on my 60%.
I can't decide between 55g or 62g for my TKL. I'm putting vintage blacks in. I know it's all down to personal preference but does anyone have any strong opinions on one over the other?
Just trying to avoid desoldering my Keyboard twice! :)
I will use it 50% for typing and 50% for gaming...MOBA and FPS.
(Also, just wanted to mention, really exceptional packing of the springs by Sprit!)

You could do what I'm doing --> mount the switches but not solder them, and use it as a bit of a test bed. That way you avoid the second round of soldering

So, some Ontario orders are out for delivery/already delivered, while a very few orders to Ontario haven't even reached the sorting facility in Mississauga, Ontario. I don't even know how to explain that, when they should have all been on the same truck..

So If I want to try Ergo Clear Switch, can I just buy a keyboard with Clear Switch and switch the springs with one of these? If so, which version is the best for ergo clear mod?
Anything between 55 - 67g if you're going "ergo"

yeh 55g-67g but beware that below 62g sometimes the spring isnt strong enough and the slider doesnt return upward after the keystroke too well. Hence, it is a good idea to lube the sliders! In fact, pretty essential for ergo clear mod. I got some krytox lube from Sprit. Previously used mountain bike suspension grease and thought krytox was probably all hype.....but after trying it...get krytox ;)

62g is the most "common" weight I hear thrown around, but it's all up to personal preference. I believe the origin of the mod was using springs from a MX blue/brown/red, which are around the same 62g weight.
More like 60g (brown/blue/red) is just a tad bit too light and causes it to stick. Thus the extra 2g helped it a significant amount without adding too much additional force required.

Thank you very much for this GB :thumb:
After received the springs from this GB, I tried to do a quick compare with other Cherry MX light spring (60g), here are the results :
*Note: My measurement method is not precise, I don't have professional equipment so I rather use sticks and stones instead. ;D
From the left to right :
Cherry MX 60g , Sprit 62g, Sprit 65g
(http://i.imgur.com/rH6Ykfc.jpg)
I used Singapore Dollar coins to weight
(http://i.imgur.com/hC1gvxE.jpg)
The lightest one is Cherry MX light spring 60g
(7 coins of $1 + 3 coins of 5 cent)
(http://i.imgur.com/Mcq5drm.jpg)
Sprit 62g is a bit heavier than Cherry MX light (~3g)
(8 coins of $1)
(http://i.imgur.com/CgDSFse.jpg)
Sprit 65g is a bit heavier than Sprit 62g (~2.5g)
(8 coins of $1 + 3 coins of 5 cent)
(http://i.imgur.com/v49GTVV.jpg)
In conclusion, Sprit 62g and 65g are obvious heavier than Cherry MX light spring from 2.5-6g, so it should be very useful for modding ergo Clear or Vintage black.

Sweet! Hopefully my vintage blacks will feel as good with the 62g as it looks on paper.

Will there be a 3rd set of orders? I need some gold springs in my life.
I guess the 3rd orders will Not happen this time. Low stocks now. But I may arrange some limited personal proxy. ;)
No plan for producing extra gold-plated springs for a while, too many steps and efforts to produce.

- KryTox GPL 104 (light-medium density, similar to 103+205 Mix) : For MX Switches, Springs, Stabs, Topre sliders!
- KryTox GPL 105 (thick heavy density, 6 times thicker than 103) : quite thick almost as glue

Would you tell me the details of Your plate, Alu case, Oil, lub, keycaps, etc, Please?
When you release the cherry stock switches, usually light weight springs have more pinging noise than heavier ones, IMO. http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46449.msg981041#msg981041 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46449.msg981041#msg981041)
I have tried to test and compare them with various cherry original stock springs I got, my version has similar or slightly less(or more) ping noise compare to them, IMHO.
Compared with :
- MX Blues : Vintage 3000 Blue, Dolch MX blue, New MX blue,
- MX Browns : Compaq 11800, 11900, Cherry 8200, 8113, 8955HPDUS, Reuters,
- MX Blacks : Cherry NCR G80-0528, G80-0879, G80-0904, 1000HAD, 1501HAD, 1800HAG, 2551HAD, TG3, 11900,
- MX Clears : Cherry G80-8113, G80-9009HAU Reuters, New Stock MX Clear SWs, etc
- MX SW Lub Guide http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=34332.0 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=34332.0)
I fix the quack issue by repositioning the springs in the SWs, making it sure 'Not' to touch the center column,
turning some degrees of angle inside SWs (check the spring coil cut position, I changed it by 90 degrees),
and finally I add very small amount of Krytox 104 oil to the inner side of springs. (I prefer the minimal lubrications, so my solution is limited)
And some enough Typing for 1-2 hours may help reducing the quack, as I found.
The ping noise when you release the switches(I mean the original stock SWs), there are some solutions suggested by others,
I guess I am not in a proper position for that, because I am used to some pining and not bothered, with mine or Cherry stock springs.
There are reports, as I know, Some thin Alu plates may increse pinging sound.
Hope more Reports and Tips for that Ping issue ! We have lots of experienced members for the Lub. Let's fix it together! ;)

Thanks Sprit, yes I did mean to type Krytox 104! I've corrected that now. With regards to some people mentioning ping...I've noticed that a few (very few 3-4 out of 87 I used so far) 62g springs creak a tiny bit on the upstroke. It doesn't bother me at all and it really isn't that much. Still fantastic springs IMO. I have 55g and 65g to test in the coming weeks. I also would say that I use a "minimal" lubing method.
I avoided the creaking by rotating and repositioning the springs inside, so that they didn't scratch against any plastic. I think creaking and pinging are different (one is scratching sound, the other is a resonating "tuning fork" sound).

It has been over 2 weeks since I shipped everything from Round 1. Nobody has complained so I'll assume everybody got his springs.
Round 2 orders are on their way to me. I expect to get them this week and will ship them the very next day :)

Post by: LechnerDE on Wed, 23 April 2014, 10:33:24
Hey guys,
I shipped all of the Round 2 orders today.
Just like last time:
It should take max. 10 days for these shipments to be delivered. If you don't receive your springs within the next 2 weeks please contact me. I have a tracking number for everyone, but it's not automated. I'd prefer not to provide it for every single order unless there is a problem. The thing is I'd have to manually check which code belongs to which order, prepare a PM and copy a string of letters and numbers by hand each time. If I do this for every order it's a lot of time.

Then you might as well move to Alberta, where you get free money for sitting on oil land, and not having provincial sales tax...
Ontario's HST is nuts. Why would you guys even want to keep that 13% tax? Glad BC voted it off, and reverted back to GST(5%)/PST(7%).

to stay on topic, I wouldn't mind buying up a semi-large amount of popular spring weights... Will depend if the Canadian population in GH continues to multiply. :)

Sorry ! :( No leftovers at all for 62g, 65g, Very small qty's for 60g, 68g and the Others a very low (10~20sets) 50, 55, 70, 75, 85g.
Sorry, I know this GB ended a long time ago. [I have my box still sitting in the living room after I let Zeal hold it for a while.
I'm looking to get more 85-100-120g. I didn't see you list them. I think that means I'm out of luck but would just like to confirm.

Willing to let go of some of those 68g to me? I need about 65 or so.
Or if you have 65x 70 I might prefer those.
PM when you're free! Know you're busy now with thar r1 gb and glad to hear you're feeling better.

I know You got 62g last time, but unfortunatly No extra 65g now (All lefts are for the R1 GB).
How about 68g ? It might quite OK for 65g users, I guess.

Hey guys!
Sorry there was no update from me for quite some time. Right after I shipped all of your orders I had to go on an extended business trip. I'll be on the road for the next couple of months as well.
Not everybody reported back to me / posted in this thread, so I am not 100% sure that everybody received his springs. But since there are no complaints I simply assume everything went smooth and everybody is happy :)
If you didn't receive your springs please contact me!
Status for Round 2 orders
100% = Shipped
Post by: sprit on Wed, 21 May 2014, 04:00:44

I am going to place a order tomorrow, but I have a suggestion for you. Since a full size keyboard is like around 104~108 keys, will that be possible to have your 1 set spring from 100 to like around 105~110? (maybe you can add $.5 or 1 to cover the cost if its too expensive to do it this way?)

Sorry, I missed that ! and added : * for more extra pieces, put a comment please! :thumb:
The main reason why 1set = 100pcs is, I found lots of 60% and 87% Tenkeyless users in GH.
extra 10pcs will cost $1 for 18K version, $0.6 for Normal version.

Does anybody know what is the different between the 18k one and the normal one? different feelings or just look different?
The gold plated ones tend to have a ~0.5g-1.5g variance.
And DAMN IT SPRIT IM SPENDING SO MUCH ON SPRINGS :confused:

So the normal springs would be the better buy? Or do they have a even higher variance?
Also, is the general consensus for Ergo-Clear's to use 62g springs?
Post by: sprit on Mon, 16 June 2014, 01:08:40
- Normal springs are very OK! I love it.
It's Stainless metal, selected among many samples by me (this means a possible personal taste). ;)
- Gold-plated versions are made from the same Normal springs, and Electro-chemically treated for goldplating. ;)
More steps and processes make possible oppotunities of very slight changes, in a good, bad, or not noticeable way.
If some gold-plated springs have 0.5-1.5g variance, it is mainly due to the mechanical shaking during gold-plating, to prevent the springs stuck each other, in my opinion.
I have been tried to minimize those variations, working close with the factory.
There are other issues in gold-plating : slight thickness change, effects of different kinds of metals, surface smoothness, etc.
These need to be clarified in the near future, IMO.

Basically I try to follow the Cherry original specs and GeekHack standard.
I have seen lots of different versions of Korean 62g from 2-3 sources for several years.
Some 62g of them are well known to be close to 60g, some 62g are close to 62g.
These variations come from the design concept, length, coil turns, materials, heat treatment of the springs, etc, as we know.
Sure! I tried to add some softness in my 50g - 75g springs, especially when start touching (press).
This comes from the design for the length, coil turns, materials, heat treatment, etc, too.
My 62g is definitely heavier than MX Blue, Brown 60g springs, I love to use them daily on my keyboards.
(Actually I type Mixture of MX Blue + my 60g + 62g + 65g + 68g on my keyboards)
I have been enjoying MX Blue original 60g springs for a couple of years, Now come to love my 65g, and 68g (But I dont know how long it will go). :)
and Always loving vintage MX black springs on old cherry boards. (G80-1000, NCR 0528, Wyse, 1501, etc)

How would 65g blues compare to stock blues and stock greens?
Post by: sprit on Mon, 16 June 2014, 05:43:22
How would 65g blues compare to stock blues and stock greens?
MX Blue switch + 65g is more elastic, responsive, vivid clicky sound, more clear contact point in my opinion.
These changes can be annoying to the original MX blue lovers, I am aware of that.
But I enjoy that since I swapped the MX Blue stock spring to 62g or 65g on my Dolch G80-1800 board.
Over 70g on Blue(Green) switches are too strong for me yet, 70g on Black linears are very OK for me. :)

Totally agree !! If the Cherry company supplies Switches with different springs, We dont have to do this comedy.
I sampled some Alps switch springs years ago, to find better ones for my taste.
After all, found it is around 60~65g.

Because 3-4 pieces each will be 30-40pcs in 10 small bags, it will increase the EMS weight, and the packing will be extra job for me, or for the proxy helpers.
Last time Zeal did it for Canadians with his extras.

I see that Vintage Black springs (68-72g), and Black springs (75-80) are available. If Clears are 85g should I be looking at mid-70's to still prevent bottoming out, but make slightly softer than Clears? Is the difference (in terms of fatigue reduction) between Clear and Black springs noticeable enough to warrant the effort, or is Vintage Black perhaps the sweet spot that I am looking for? Just get both and test? Thanks!!
Post by: LechnerDE on Wed, 18 June 2014, 00:13:24
Glad this is back up! A little bit of advice needed... I really like my stock Clears because it is hard to bottom out thus making them pretty silent (I bottom out on Blues/Browns easily), but want to lighten them up a little bit because of finger fatigue over long sessions.

This is totally depending on personal preference. We can't tell you what will feel perfect for YOU!
Since those springs don't cost too much just get different packs and test them for yourself.
You could still resell the ones you don't want later in the classifieds..

I don't mind handling US orders if you guys want...¯(°_o)/¯
I'm not sure if I can pass "springs" as "Documents" via DHL express... in a padded envelope with bubble wrap & with all the springs laying flat.
It would cost $10-13USD(depends on cardboard envelope size) for 1 day overnight "document" delivery. I might just print a couple sheets of "packing slips" ;)
If it gets mailed as a parcel, it'll have to be $15 for the same 1 day overnight delivery. :(

78g Soft MX Clear Edition is designed to be :
- 8~10g lighter and softer than MX Clear, hard to bottom out similar to MX Clear,
- 10-20% softer start and steeper pressure slope than MX Black and my 75g.

Yep! Got that all worked out, and thanks for the info. :) I figured that would be the option to go with but wanted to make sure with HPE before I said anything firm. I think the costs might be closer to $6 (a little less), plus shipping materials (bubble wrap, tape, etc), so we're sticking with HPE's numbers he used. :)

i like the stock clears, but i want to try something a bit lighter but not 62g. the last 62g set i had was quite sticky since i prefer my switches without lubing and stickering done. im leaning towards the 75g since the 78g is too near in weight difference.

Hi sprit,
If you don't mind, please post the MOQ status first so all of us can adjust the order immediately.
I'm pretty sure a lot of people will shift from the non-MOQ to the one has MOQ.
For my case, if 78g light and 100g don't meet the MOQ, I will shift them equally to 62g and 68g.

78g : (around 55 sets till now) - I will cover the MOQ and produce the Normal Standard version only.
50g, 55g (18K Gold v1.1 high-glossy) , 70g, 75g, 85g (18K Gold v1.0 medium-glossy) : Only the Gold versions are available for R2.

I've already paid the first invoice though and I'm not sure if this is an error or not. Could you look into this, please?
I believe it may be because I resubmitted my original invoice to increase the number of springs, so I assume that invoice 1680 is the correct one.

hello Geekhack members i'm really interested in theses springs but i have never changed springs before. I wanted to know if its hard to change springs ? Can someone provide a link to me on how to change springs.
Changing springs is really easy, the hard part is opening the switch since most switches can't be opened without desoldering the switch itself.
You ether need a pcb mounted keyboard or a keyboard with an open backplate to open the switches without desoldering; which you probably don't have.

Si. They're not tactile enough with 68g springs, but should be good with 62-65g.

Post by: daveo on Wed, 30 July 2014, 14:46:56
I do not know the details of course but summing up some people's words, they payed Sprit for the assembly job and he never got the things done.
He left those things alone for months instead and they got their keyboards(with almost no progress) back with partial refunds -some of the housings damaged.
Sprit just left the community with no clear explanation so I don't know what he would be saying about this from his point of view.
I never knew this kind of stuff before. I just wanted to participate in this GB because I just needed some springs.
I try to understand that sellers may have rights to select(or exclude) buyers from their GB with their own standards
but if all these disregards of neither answering to my PMs nor sending me an invoice were derived from the fact that I live in Korea, it would be so childish.

I wondered why Sprit didn't send me an invoice or even answer to my sending him PMs ....Hello ! I got Orders need to invoice soon. Please be patient for a day or so. ;)
The Order & Payment are by 31st (Aug. 3rd)
I am in the Korean communities so far, but not able to offering Free or services for Korean members, as You know, I am just busy doing GB for my Geekhack members.

I am going to try Ergo Clear, which weight should I go for? I would want something that is similar to 55G topre.No MX switch is going to feel similar to Topre, regardless of stem type or spring force curve.
Thanks!
That being said, for ergo clears, 62g spring = god spring.

Ergo-clears are usually outfitted with 62g, 65g, or 68g springs. Since it sounds like you're looking for a somewhat heavier key press you might want to try the 68g. I think the consensus, though, is that tactility decreases as spring weight increases. Meaning a 62g clear has a more noticeable bump than a 68g clear so you might want to factor that into your decision. Or you could just order all 3, test them, and keep whichever you like and sell the rest in the classifieds.

+1 to this. At least in my experience, the 62g springs are great. Gives a nice "pop" to the switch and reduces the force to just the right amount.

I can't wait to get my 78g golden springs because I want my keyboard ONLY able to be used my myself, even the Mrs can't use some of my 69g keyboards ;D .

Any update on when the next wave is going to hit EU?
Still on schedule as the rest of the world, around Aug 18 onwards.
I know the title says orders are still open, but just to clarify, if I order now would I still be able to get them shipped via proxy or is it too late for that? Would probably save a fair chunk of change since epzy and I are in the same country.
Yes, you can still place your order for proxy shipping.

Which of the springs would be closest to a stock MX green, for reference?
I believe "ghetto" greens are made using black springs with blue stems. With that logic, the info on the OP says he thinks 75g springs are closest to current mx blacks.

Thats what I thought too, but I can definitely notice a difference in my WASD keys vs the other lesser used keys (like Pause and keys like that). Who knows, maybe it's just in my head too lol. Either way it'll be nice to have heavier springs :3

I'm mainly curious because I was surprised by just how nice the green felt with a clear spring in it, but I don't really know how much of a difference there is. I gave a stock green, green w/ clear spring, and stock clear to two friends and asked them to choose their favorite. One is into keyboards, and the other is not. Both of them chose the modded green over the two stocks. I'm starting to think I may want to get some blue switches and put in springs similar to mx clears.

If I just order a sampler kit, is it still possible to order again, after they arrive here in germany? How long will this take approx. ?
You can still place an order for R2. Both regular and gold plated springs are available in 62g and 65g weights. Sampler kit will ship with your spring orders, and the GB / (proxy ship) would be closed by then so no extra individual direct shipments would be made from this GB.

Send my order for 62 65 and 68 springs in standard. I'll choose the best for my ergo clear mod.

Samplers don't appear to be an option anymore. I was going to put in an order for some 78g gold and a sampler set, but I don't see the sampler available and it's not really worth it to me to only get the one set, what with shipping costs.
Yea... $13 for a $10 spring set (assuming you're even taking the gold version)
It's too bad. If I could modify my order I'd grab yours at the same time and send it by regular mail to you

It's a shame shipping within Canada is this expensive, and that our tracked options are extremely limited. However, packing springs in a paper envelope would be irresponsible, and if this could happen to keycaps (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=62089.0), you can only imagine how springs would look after processing. I ship all my items in corrugated cardboard boxes (https://i.imgur.com/9lZYhVX.jpg) and secure everything in multiple layers of bubble wrap (Picture of R1 Proxy for Gold Springs). Besides, maximum thickness for oversized envelopes is 2cm, and any form of padding would push it over the limit & there still wouldn't be any form of tracking, other than registered mail which requires signature and isn't much cheaper for oversized mail.
Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I was complaining about the methods you have chosen to use for shipping -- they're very reasonable given what we in Canada have to work with. I just personally can't justify spending more on shipping than on the actual springs. I would order more in a second, but I don't know what other weights I would like to use, hence wanting to get a sampler pack as well, rather than order full sets of springs I'd likely then have to sell. Thanks for the detailed explanation.
I think at this point I'm going to wait for the next round, hopefully samplers will be an option again then.

I would like to order 100 of 120g or 135g springs,

I have no need for such heavy springs, but if you need some help with the cost, feel free to invoice me for 10 or under total of the 100 and/or 120g springs and I'll take them along with my spring order. I'm sure I can always resell them or gift them at some point.

Hi Sprit,
That is a great news really :thumb: !
I already paid the Invoice ID 1661 on 15th July 2014. When the 100g and 120 are available, don't forget to send me the additional invoice for them (1 set 100g and 1 set 120g). Thank you for your amazing efforts.
Post by: Synjin on Sun, 24 August 2014, 23:39:41
Thanks!
Sprit could I possibly swap out my 68g and my 78g to a second pair of 62g and 64g
Current order:
62g X 1
65g X 1
68g X 1
78g X 1
85g X 1
All gold plated
Modified order: if it is still possible to change
62g X 2
65g X 2
85g X 1
All gold plated

Because of the Cost for small quantity, MOQ for the Gold-plating,
I had to change all the 100/120g to be Gold-plated.
It's added last Friday, and under production this week.
The Price per set had to be changed, really sorry for that, :(

Is there a way to add more springs to my order? I already payed the first one over paypal. Will I get the additional shipping costs back if I order one again?
Send me the 2nd Order Form and Comment there " Your 2nd order!"
You have ordered 62g, 65g, 68g Standard to Germany in 1st Order.
I will ship all together. ;)

This is my second order placed. May I kindly get them shipped in a small box instead of a thin box since I have over 6 springs ordered? I can just pay the shipping difference in PayPal invoice in order to combine shipping

shoot sprit a PM, he's more responsive there.
I did a few days ago but got no return contact.
So is this Group Buy still running or are the springs still being made? Have no idea what's going on even though everything has been paid long ago, hence my posting couldn't be avoided here.

Looks like Sprit just posted this a few posts earlier. Springs should be shipped to proxies sometime next week. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.

My order was for sample packs unfortunately. Those were removed as an option after I had already placed the order. Its gotten to the point my project is being held up just waiting for a response. I don't know if I should get springs elsewhere, or if I'm supposed to keep waiting for my order to be filled.

Second, sorry i messed up the first order and put another one through. I haven't gotten an invoice for the 2nd order yet, so I've decided I'll just pay for the first one since it was kind of my fault and I guess 100 extra springs is not actually that bad :)
Cheers! ...and any idea about when we would get these?
thanks again!
Edit: The invoice I paid for is #1969.

Oh! So Sorry!
I have been suffering for Overall MOQ Problems.
The Heavy Sample Pack was eventually cancelled.
So that's why I could not send You a invoice. PMed!

Hey Sprit,
I was just wondering if my order for the few extra springs was received because I payed for my first set and I was wondering if it included the few extra heavier springs.

Hi Sprit,
I see that it still says “Extra Orders OPEN”.
I just wanted to know if it was only some models, or if all models are still available. I looked on the first post and a few pages back and didn't see the info.
Thanks

Edit: The invoice I paid for is #1969.
He refunded my order with the extra springs....but I kind of already got my co-worker to buy them....I'm pretty flexible. What would you like me to do Sprit? I can pay for the lesser order or you can edit it back to the one you refunded...I think you might not have gotten my messages here so I'm going to try and just reply here and not pm you.... I'm not sure if you'd want a bigger invoice, i mean I know you're doing this out of the goodness of your heart, but I hope in some ways you still get profitttsss

I've added a order on some standard springs. But the standard spring was out of stock so a gold one was automatically added. But if I would buy a gold one I would like a lower force on it. Would it be possible to change the order?

In Korea 62g springs are most popular - not just for ergo clears. Some people like 65g and some like 60g. It doesn't seem much but it does make a difference and in the end it's all down to personal preference :)

Based on what I have been playing around with sprit springs, my recommendation would be something 62g or 65g or 68g. I'm not sure if the gold plate may add 1-2g to the resistance but in term of physical I think it is likely.

You're right. The 55g-60g is great for future needs, we never know. That's why I reserve from 60g to 70g just in case although currently I only use 62g and 65g.

After using some 62g springs, wouldn't a light breeze in the room cause errant keystrokes with 55 springs? You would never be able to turn a fan on :P
I have some 50gr springs from round one of Spirit's springs-GB ... using them under brown sliders, on my ergodox (pinky non-homerow keys) Works out beautifully and I've never extra-entered keystrokes from them. Mostly my problem is fat-fingering those pesky thumb buttons (which have 100gr springs from the same group buy, under clear sliders).

Also a fan of O rings which i think will match good with harder springs, so you dont get the stiff feel from bottoming out and shorten the traveling distance.

Since people can add to "existing" orders, the would he be able to join the GB with a fresh new order since others can add to theirs.

Ahh yes in that case of course :) i've made a few separate orders myself ;D so it should be fine. If you don't add a comment saying 'add to previous order' or whatnot it will be treated as a new one :)Hi.Uhh gonna need some clarification on that. I don't understand what you're trying to say :/
Just to be sure before I order...
Is it OK to submit a brand new order as an "Extra Order", or can you only add stuff to an already existing order?

I was told I was to receive my order of springs this week but for some reason it changed and now the date of my package arrival has changed (I just found out that it hasn't even been shipped yet) would you e able to find out some info on my order?
Was your order shipped independent of the rest of the orders that were sent to proxies? If so, then I don't have an answer of course, but if it was sent to a proxy then I should be receiving them very soon.

that I should have my springs at least since I paid for all my orders and individual shipping separately. I really don't mind waiting but it would really help if it was a bit more organized and i got a straight answer instead of making me feel like I'm being passed around.

It kept changing. It was originally going to be through you then it changed as zeal was going to send it to me since I also have a 60% case order then it changed to sprit shipping it to me directly and now I'm just really confused. I also originally ordered a model 2 case but I was later informed after asking an update concerning my order that production was not yet completed.

Synjin,
Please understand that you requested to have your acrylic case combined with your springs order, so we pulled your springs shipment out of Hoff's. It also wasn't until the last day when sprit was shipping the huge box to me, that you told me you ordered a Model 2 instead of 3. I've been accommodating all of your requests, however PMing both sprit and me with different requests will end up confusing both of us. Please try to understand that making last minute changes weren't possible (especially with time zone differences), and when you asked for a Model 3 instead, the box had already been picked up by DHL. Also asking to combine shipments one day, then split shipments the other is really screwing with us.
I also never guaranteed that your package would arrive by a certain date. I can only guarantee a delivery time once it has been shipped from me (which is 1 business day). Now that we've settled with your order, my next import with sprit is mid-October as I've already said in the other case GB thread.

I also never guaranteed that your package would arrive by a certain date. I can only guarantee a delivery time once it has been shipped from me (which is 1 business day). Now that we've settled with your order, my next import with Sprit is mid-October as I've already said in the other case GB thread.
I thought you knew that my order was originally a model 2 since you said you were currently talking to Sprit about my original order until I asked what was causing the delay to my order, you then told me that model 2 cases have not been produced yet. Also, I really do not mind if I have a model 2 but I decided to try to change it to a model 3 since you stated in your previous message that you have been trying to promote the model 3 more which then caused me to assume that the model 3 will be finished being produced sooner. I am quite sure that in my previous messages to you, I stated, that I would prefer a model 3 instead of a model 2 if it means I will be able to receive my order sooner meaning whichever one will cause less delays would be more preferable to me.
I also just received a message from Sprit that he will be shipping all the independent orders after he collects the shipping cost although I already paid mine causing even more confusion.

I'm a little worried since i'm not in any of those countries, or are these locations for the proxy helpers who will then ship to other places?

Any idea when people in the US should be expecting springs to come in the mail?
Yep! I started packing and shipping last night when I returned home from a trip, but I think I jumped the gun. There were some pre-packaged bags with a selection of springs for individual users, and then some loose bags to be packed up for users. I assumed that the bags with usernames on them were complete and finished, but I think they were missing one spring type each. Due to this, I need to cancel the shipping I've already paid for, open the boxes, repack, and repurchase shipping tonight. I'm really sorry for the delay, everyone. Should be back on track this evening. :thumb:

I know that for sure mine definitely was missing a spring type since I added one after you picked 'em up and Sprit said you were going to have to add it in separately. Sorry for adding to your pain in the ass and confusion, but thank you so much for helping making this happen! I'm really glad I got in on this in time, just barely.
Looks like I'll be doing some desoldering in a few nights in preparation. >:D

I have finally managed to make sense of the spreadsheet, so I shouldn't have any more hiccups with sorting on my end. Shipping will remain to be seen. :P I'm packaging everything first to make sure I have enough springs to go around, as a sort of in-built audit.
As for extras, I can't speak for Sprit and what extras he may have sent along to the proxies, but if there are any extras I will let you guys know. I won't have any clue about that until I'm done packing everything up, though, so just hang tight. :)

Ok. I just placed an order though... Can I consider that void? Also, if you aren't taking orders, should you maybe take down the big form that says orders are open? I don't really like not knowing whether I'm going to be charged. If you can fulfill it though that would be ideal

So is the message that I should be seeing these in my mailbox soon in the USA?
I paid my invoice in July.
Yes! :D I packed your order last night, in fact.
In general, when it comes to group buys, the time you pay your invoice really has minimal affect on when you should expect the item. I only just received the springs a few days ago, so there wasn't anything I could do until this week. And there was a significant time spent waiting for production, sorting in Korea, and shipping. This is a big operation, and we're all volunteering our time to help make it happen. I'm not sure if your tone was implying confusion about this or not, but it's important to remember that long lead times are very common on custom orders like this. :thumb:

It looks like you already have some on your site... are they really in stock? it looks like I can get all the way to checkout.
Also, is there a reason I can only get next day delivery? 15$ shipping is a drag for springs.

I dunno if you guys want to see pictures of this in-progress, but here's a little teaser. I got all the small orders packed and ready to ship. I'll be printing labels and getting a bunch of them sent out tonight.

Yes, the ones I posted that you can add to cart are indeed in stock.
I'll be stocking extras on my site. (mostly 60-68gs, very few 50-55g). Will need to get everything out first though.
It looks like you already have some on your site... are they really in stock? it looks like I can get all the way to checkout.
Also, is there a reason I can only get next day delivery? 15$ shipping is a drag for springs.
We've already discussed this via PM, but for anyone else that's wondering, $12 is the lowest possible shipping price for springs, if shipped as a "document" in a DHL Legal cardboard envelope with minimal padding. Never shipped a non-document as a document via DHL, so I'm not sure if I'll get in trouble for doing that. :-[
The other alternative is shipping it untracked in a small bubble envelope ($3)with two pieces of cardboard sandwiched in between (can't exceed 2cm/[13/16"]), however there would be no tracking or guarantees that the springs will not get damaged in transit. I'd personally rather not do this as I think it's irresponsible, but if you insist, it can be an option.
Canadians that paid their shipping invoices have already had their springs dropped off. Thanks for paying in a timely manner! :thumb:

Got the email for tracking for my springs today. I originally got some to try out some ergo clears but now I am really wishing I would have bought some super stiff springs instead. MX Clears and MX Blacks are just becoming too light for me. Is there any extra 100/120g+ springs available for NA people?
Unfortunately, I do not have any extras (I'm actually short two sets of springs, unless I made a mistake somewhere), so I can't help, sorry. Sprit may have some, or I also know Zeal will be stocking various options in his store at some point soon. :thumb:

Hoff, PM me with your address. I'll send you your two missing packs of 62g gold springs on Monday via DHL, and you'll receive it on Tuesday. Shipping costs on me (I'll handle the springs w/ Sprit). I'll also need you to proxy ship a box of springs for a US member, if that's not too much to ask for :P.

Another 10 orders shipped today, and I'm heading out of town now so there will be more to come Sunday/Monday. Once I can get a proper full day in, they should start to head out quicker. :thumb:
Also, if you haven't received an email that it's shipped, don't worry - I've now shipped 15 out of 78, so most will not have tracking info yet. I wish I could ship faster, but it's a little more tedious than that. :)

You could talk to HoffmanMyster to see if he has any spares or extras, since he is the USA proxy. Also, keep an eye on the classifieds.

To compare a stock clear spring to a 78g spring side-by-side they feel almost identical in weight, but because of a slightly different force curve the 78g spring feels noticeably more tactile on both the up and down stroke. 78g clears are probably my favorite switch/spring combo I've ever tried. I see myself keeping a board around with this combination for a very long time.
85g feels slightly heavier than stock clear springs and definitely has a more gradual force curve compared to the 1.1 springs which have a steep force curve (starts soft finishes heavy). It numbs out some of the tactility of the clears on both the up and down strokes. I ended up using an 85g spring in the spacebar with 78g in everything else.
I also played around with installing some of the 62g springs on to clear stems and have to say I'm starting to understand the hype. 60g feels like it wants to hang and 65g/68g seems to numb out some of the tactility. 62g feels extremely tactile but without feeling like it might hang up on the up stroke. I haven't lubed my clears yet but I have to imagine lubed with 62g springs would feel downright sublime.
Thanks again to both Sprit and Hoffman for working together to get these delivered. If/When R3 happens I will definitely be ordering some more!
Edit - 79->78 :))

I have to say that the 100g springs feel kind of great on clears instead of the ergo treatment it had earlier. No idea how 78g feels however. Maybe something slightly lighter would feel better.

To my fingers, 78g springs felt almost indistinguishable in weight from the stock clear springs. I expected them to be lighter but I think they are pretty close to exactly the same. I figured 85g would match the clear springs but they feel slightly but noticeably heavier.
Thanks for the correction, Zeal :thumb:

Did you order a PCB separately w/ sprit? :confused: I don't have you down for a PCB on my order form.

Really curious what a "randomly coiled" spring would feel like. Have some small & wide coils here and there and throw it in a switch. :eek:

Today is the last day for US shipping right? I still have not received my tracking number. Paypal invoice #1674.
Hmm. Unfortunately, as a proxy in this, I don't have all the details associated with the GB and some information is only known by Sprit (I only have the information relevant to my portion of the duties). I can tell you what I know though. I do not have your name in my spreadsheet, and I therefore do not have your order in my house. It's possible that you paid after some cut off and Sprit will be shipping your order direct.
I would recommend PMing Sprit to ask about your order. I don't think there's too much reason to be alarmed and start worrying, but I understand that you'd like to know, so that's what I would do. He should get back to you within a couple days. :thumb:
Sorry I don't have a better answer for you!

What I learnt from proxying them:
-finnish towns have fantastic names
-there's a surprising low of mechanical keyboard enthusiasts in southern Europe
-triple checking is better than double checking (TheSoulhunter, who had the biggest order, almost would have gotten only a sampler kit)
All packages get tracking, however sorting the tracking numbers might take longer than the springs to arrive :D
Shipping should take 2-5 days. If you want your tracking number, send me a PM.

Oh, that might explain it. I think I saw some posts above, from people who were in the keyboard buy, saying that people in both buys will have their springs shipped with their keyboards. Maybe that explains why your springs weren't in my bunch.

Should have quadruple checked each spring packet. From what I've counted after proxying...(sample size of 4x 62gs), most were 96-97x per bag. :eek: Should be OK for those doing TKL builds and lower.

Europe springs will get sent tomorrow! Sorry for the delay.
What I learnt from proxying them:
-finnish towns have fantastic names
-there's a surprising low of mechanical keyboard enthusiasts in southern Europe
-triple checking is better than double checking (TheSoulhunter, who had the biggest order, almost would have gotten only a sampler kit)

My favourite Finnish district name is Kärsämäki (snout hill). I find a lot of lake or town names to be simple descriptions of some feature, such as Pitkäjärvi (long lake) or Valkeakoski (white rapids), but there are some very interesting ones, too, such as Paskalomavaara (crap holiday hill/danger), Äijävaara (geezer hill/danger) or Nahkahousut (leather pants) :D

I used 55g springs with clears and it seems like ~25-30% of them were sticking at the bottom. I had to switch up the springs till I found ones that were strong enough.
Is this normal? I lubed the stems/springs btw.

Will the 62g be better for an ergo clear or will the 65 be better? I have heard that it does feels significantly different compared to each other.
I am also interested in ergo clear recommendations, for me sticky keys are unacceptable.

I modded my MX switches to be 62g ergo clears and about 5% of the keys were consistently sticky. After lubing the spring top/bottom and stem sliders it was not a problem for any of the keys. I used thick lube formula from techkeys.

I used 50g and 55g on two of my Cherry MX Brown keyboards. The tactile feeling is more obvious on them. I don't use something less than 65g on ergo Clear because I want to avoid the sticky issue that I faced in the past when I used the stock spring 60g.

I never tried putting a heavier spring in Browns. Think I read someone on here say that it doesn't make it more tactile.
I use 62g springs for my ergo clears, and only ever had one switch slightly stick. Spamming the key a few times fixed it, and I have never had the problem again.
Wish I would have ordered some 65g springs this last round though.

Light as possible with a slight tactile bump sounds like 50g springs in Browns to me. Lightest springs increase the tactility of the Brown bump.
I love 62g springs in my ErgoClears. No sticking and really great tactility. Just the perfect strength, IMHO. 60g work with lubed stems, 55g... may have issues even with lube, as you seem to have discovered.
Post by: MAR82 on Sat, 25 October 2014, 04:42:33
The brown switches have a different stem than clears, which is what causes the difference in tactile feel, regardless of the spring. You can see it if you scroll down here in Ripsters switch teardown: http://imgur.com/a/RJqM4

Post by: phoenix1234 on Sat, 25 October 2014, 08:17:26
Yes, you're right, we shouldn't put anything heavier than the stock on Browns. But what I really mean is lighter because as I said, I used 50g and 55g Korean style while the stock spring of Brown is 60g. When we use something lighter on Brown, it will make the tactile more obvious. This is similar to some Korean use the rare 59g on their Clear because they want to impose on the tactile.I used 50g and 55g on two of my Cherry MX Brown keyboards. The tactile feeling is more obvious on them. I don't use something less than 65g on ergo Clear because I want to avoid the sticky issue that I faced in the past when I used the stock spring 60g.I never tried putting a heavier spring in Browns.

+1
There's some kind of voodoo that happens with 62g springs on clear stems to make them feel just right. I really never bought into the hype having only tried 65g ergo-clears, but after trying out 62g I have to say I understand it now. Anything lighter felt like it was going to hang and 65g/68g/70g seemed to numb out a lot of the tactile response compared to the 62g.
Once you get into the 75g-85g range you start getting a different feel that my fingers seem to slightly prefer. Its almost like the weight of the spring after you get past the bump works to make the switch feel more tactile again and also helps slow your fingers down as you get close to the bottom out point. I think Sprits 78g springs with clear stems feels obscenely good.
That being said, 68g and 70g springs felt awesome in vintage black switches. Once I get a board put together with all these vintage blacks I've got laying around I will almost definitely go with 68g.

Apparently my springs arrived today but I wasn't home. And instead of leaving the package at my back door (which they have a special approval for) they took it with them and I can pick it up on monday. Kinda sad but what can you do.
(could've also been the LEDs I've ordered, but I'm sure those were my springs)
I've sent them all as registered mail (for tracking) so that might be the reason.
Springs arrived today, thank you blubär and spirit for making this possible :) bist der beste Flo :)

How does shipping work exactly? They are being sent to a proxy, then we need to pay them to ship it to us?
No, currently sprit is shipping directly from his location to yours. Prior to this, you would have paid for shipping one time and it included getting the springs from sprit to the proxy and then from the proxy to you. It was an effort to simplify overhead and reduce shipping costs. I paid more for shipping to get my second set of springs directly from sprit, but I should get them quicker.

These are 100g springs supporting MX Clear sliders:

Got mine, thanks Sprit and BlueBär :thumb:
Now to decide on 60, 62 or 65gold for ergo clears. recommendations?
First of all thank you Hoff and Sprit!
I am glad I did 62 for mine so far.
A few of my switches seemed rough (the slider/ramps) so I am testing each out with a 62g before lubing etc etc
One that got built already (and was sticking even when I tried other 62s... Didn't seem to be the spring) I turned into a 78g space bar switch :) also put some extra rubber on that one for less travel... Seems good
Another I stuck a 68g in and it's the escape key.

If I'm not mistaken, 62g is the minimum for clears in order to not have problems with slider recovery.

The 62g feels so sublime.
I usually prefer a heavier spring (loved stock Clears) but 62g ErgoClears are orgasmic.

Did you lube them too? If so what type of lube?

Use Krytox mixed by mkawa, you can get it at mechanicalkeyboards.com for example.

No lube yet, just springs. I'd imagine lube would take these to another level but I don't have any on hand to test. :-[
The 62g springs make the Clears feel somewhat similar to my Topres in terms of weighting and a slight difference in actuation. The only thing missing is the buttery smooth feeling of Topres (which I'm guessing lube will help with).
I can't wait to start building a new board. Have decided that my next project will be Cherry MX build with an HHKB-esque layout (if only I had gotten in on the Duck Viper GB)...

I put the 100g springs in MX Clears, and already worked a little bit with the board. The tactile bump is definitely there, but it feels somehow wrong. I don't know if scratchy is the right term for it. But definitely interesting as a test and i was interested to do so! I thought it would be great for work when you are angry and have to write mails :)

Clears have a bigger bump, so I'd imagine the bump of browns with 100g sprigs would be barely noticeable at all. I think the bump of browns with standard springs is already too subtle.

Like a heavier tacto-black. I'd think the feel of the bump would be pretty insignificant on 100g springs...
Got my Clears, got my springs, got my Black switches! Going to do a sort of "cascade" switch mod: 62g into Clears, Clear spring into Blacks, Black spring into other Clears, so I'll end up with 3 modded switch types, ErgoClears, Ghost Blacks and Panda Clears :D
Post by: neun_sechs_zwei on Sun, 09 November 2014, 02:36:47
I figure there will be some extra friction so I put together some 78g swtiches. But I think that's overkill especially when I wanna reduce strain from hitting enter. Just wanna make sure say 68g is enough.
I also found one switch that lost all tactile bump after greasing. Will try a 55g spring in that one...

What are people doing for backspace, enter and other switches with stabs?

Do you mean for ergo clears? There is no need to use stronger springs in stabilized keys. You can lube stabilizers as well BTW.
You probably applied too much lube or lube in the wrong spots on that one. You can remove the lube and reapply it.

Has anyone here happend to have contacted Sprit recently? I and several others in another GB of his haven't heard from him in months and are starting to wonder if we should start issuing charge backs on our orders.
I've ordered multiple sets of springs from sprit and received them without issue.
Charge backs shouldn't even be on the table, sprit is a legit guy. You will get your ****, just be patient. Besides, I think you're *way* outside PayPals charge back window.

Yes, last contact I had with him was on 06 Nov 2014, 10:24. It was related to me proxying, he was making sure everything was fine. Also somebody else from DT recently got springs directly from him, so don't worry you'll get your stuff.

While admittedly not from Sprit, Zeal recently posted a picture of your case/plate and told you he has everything of yours except for the PCB. That is an update. It might not be what you are wanting, but to say you haven't heard anything about your stuff in a year is simply untrue. People in the other threads that are receiving their stuff (which you would be receiving too if you hadn't ordered a PCB that hasn't shipped yet) are going to tell you they are getting their stuff and to trust Sprit, but as trizkut pointed out, you're really just looking for justification in what you've already decided you want to do. Zeal also told you that, since you ordered through him, a charge back is only going to hurt him, not Sprit.

It's hard to say. The force graph is different for these. Cherry's spring s have a much steeper graph than these do. I think you're in the right ballpark though

Got an email from Sprit last time I posted here (October 29) saying I haven't received the springs yet. He wrote that he was shipping both my springs+keyboard in 1 week. He further mentioned the reason I haven't gotten my springs is because I have a keyboard order with him. He invoiced me a further $30 for shipping the keyboard.
Fast forward to today, and still no shipping confirmation of both springs or keyboard. I suggested that he ship the springs separately, but total radio silence on that.
Now I'm not sure what to do. I need springs for several projects I'm working on, and not sure if I should just order springs from Taobao, or continue waiting. I'm a pretty patient person, but Sprit's inaction, as well as the fact that he's still taking orders on his 60%, R2, and R3 GB's are really make me think...

Hopefully if people start to drop out, the people that do stay in the buys at least get some kind of update if the pressure gets put on him.
I get everyone has lives and jobs, etc, but running several group buys at the same time is a pretty dumb idea if you know you don't have the time and resources dedicated to it.

What would be the closest to 65g originative out of these springs?
Probably the 65g. Sprit said the gold plating doesn't have much, if any, effect of the feel and I believe both are Korean springs, so they would be measured similarly (bottom out force as opposed to actuation).

That is the voice in my head now. And before I say anything more I don't even have a mechanical keyboard myself on hand "yet" but I've been reading a lot. Got really interested in building an ergo clear keyboard. The "God/best of mechanical keyboards" I see people say. Hmmmmmm. I do like the feel of the tactile feedback of the clears since I got a tester kit to try out the different switches. Decisions decisions or impulse buy. ;D

Having tried both, my opinion is that 62g is the way to go. 65g was nice but I would give a definitive edge to the 62g for feeling more tactile overall.

"The current "Sprit Springs" are all that is left and will most likely not be restocked. However, I am working on sourcing some new 62g gold springs in the near future. Stay tuned!"
That's very disappointing. The brown springs are too light and make the keyboard feel cheap, but the MX Clear springs in my ergodox are so stiff they negate any benefit of having an ergonomic design. I have RSI in both of my arms, so it's very important for me to find a happy medium between the browns and clears. A 65g or 68g spring sounded perfect, but they are now sold out and it doesn't appear they will return.
Does anyone know of another place to get 65g or 68g korean springs?

mx brown springs are actually heavier than 62 or 65g springs.

mx brown springs are actually heavier than 62 or 65g springs.
no, they aren't. browns have almost the same springs as reds (about 55-58g on korean scale)
MX Springs Compared
I follow the Cherry Original Specs and GeekHack Standard.
For my 50g ~78g, I have tried to add some softer touch. They start slightly softer and mellow than stock ones.
- My 50g is a little bit softer and lighter than MX Red (55g)
- My 55g is slightly softer and lighter than MX Brown, MX Blue (58g-60g)
- My 60g is similar to MX Blue, but a little bit tighter and stable
- My 62g is slightly heavier than MX Blue
- My 65g is soft but quite heavier than MX Blue
- My 68g-72g is similar to Vintage MX Blacks (soft & cushiony)
- My 78g is a Soft MX Clear Edition, softer & lighter than MX Clear, but same cushiony too.
- My 85g is similar to MX Clear. v1.0 starts little bit solid, v1.1 starts softer

Actually I asked Zeal about that as well, and they said this:
"As for a spring that's comparable to MX Browns, that would be the 60g Korean spring. MX Clear springs would be 78g or 85g (78g is a bit lighter, 85g is almost identical to stock Clear spring)."

MX Light = red/brown = 55/58-60g korean, which is obviously lighter than 62g!

....so?
MX Light = red/brown = 55/58-60g korean

note that Originative's graph can also lead to misinterpretations as we don't know which spring they are testing as "MX Light"... is it red or brown? :/
The spring from mx red and mx brown is virtually identical

the problem is that they aren't completely identical (red/brown/blue) as Sprit or even Ripster have reported ;) the reds springs are always more lighter than browns/blues

Did they measure the springs by themselves, or did they measure them assembled into the switch? I'm sure the stems have a lot to do with the measured / perceived force of the spring.

First the plating, it looks good but that is less important, the gold plating makes the surface smooth. Compared to non plated springs there is no squeaking or scratchy sound when you press the switch and this is whithout lube. I have compared SPRiT springs with springs from GON (55g) and Originative (50g) and the gold plated feel much smoother.
Also there is a difference in the compression curve, I use only linear switches, in particular MX Black Old or Vintage, the springs from Originative and from GON feel linear, SPRiT springs feel more like topre there is a small resistance at the beginning inthe middle the travel is linear and in the end you feel some resistance making the landing soft. This feel is more accentuated with the 55g springs. As a HHKB user I could say that 55g feel almost as 45g Topre.
All of this is based on my daily usage I don't have any tools to measure this, only my fingers.
For me 55g springs make MX Black feel exactly how MX Red should feel.
50g are bit too light, but I think if your are a floating typing or whatever it is called and don't bottom out these are perfect.
Because I like only light and linear switches I can't provide info on other weights except 68g on the spacebar which is great.
SPRiT has done a great job with the design of these springs :thumb:
As a side note, forget the graphs for spring weights published in the past, these don't apply to SPRiT springs at least from what I could notice.

Your report is very interesting, thank you very much for sharing it. It informs our decision to explore this springs. I already got some but I have not had the chance to test them yet.
What board and key caps did you use when trying the springs?
Post by: DanielT on Mon, 06 April 2015, 02:36:05
Your report is very interesting, thank you very much for sharing it. It informs our decision to explore this springs. I already got some but I have not had the chance to test them yet.I have only 60% boards, 2 GON NerD60 and one SPRiT 60%, all of them have either Old or Vintage MX Blacks, 2 of the boards use 55g SPRiT springs and one 55g GON springs. I use only Cherry or GMK caps, so maybe with thinner caps the feeling will differ, didn't test that. The boards are rotated depending of the mood I have.
What board and key caps did you use when trying the springs?
One the boards with SPRiT 55g has Vintage Blacks plate mounted. The plate doesn't change the feeling too much.
All the switches are stock that means no lube and no stickers, made some tests with lubing and stickers only to realize that for me it was a waste of time, the switches feel nice and smooth without lube, the springs make the switch feel very smooth so for me the lube doesn't add an extra benefit.
Stickers are for me just waste of time, don't understand why people use them, but that's me :p
Anyway, the conclusion is "Use the springs, don't just keep them in a bag!" , I have swapped the springs on all my boards and will do the same on my future boards. My personal favorite are the 55g springs but also 50g are nice, my guess is that 50g with thinner caps like SP DSA (PBT or ABS) should feel really nice.

In particular, I believe the caps and the case make a lot of difference in the typing besides switches and their springs, of course; also, I concur lubing and stickering add very few to the overall feeling of the board.
I am waiting for the Gaterons to put together the last Nerd60 I got from Gon. I will make blacks and blues with 65g gold springs both, on the Nerd60 with a semi ANSI/ISO layout (ANSI with ISO enter and 1.75u right shift) , vintage Cherry WoB alphas with purple or blue modifiers and a TEX acrylic machined case I am still waiting for from MD.
I will use the blues for the alphas and the blacks for numbers and modifiers; but, I am not sure about this mix, though.

Customs time varies. There may be a lot of packages, could have been in a batch with some contraband, whatever.
Can take as long as a month, maybe more. Usually clears in a week or so.
Just dont worry about it. It'll be fine, just be patient :)

The key set is DSA Dolch, which at the time of this posting, is available from PMK's shop for a very reasonable price. All switches are 78g, un-lubricated.
(http://i.imgur.com/O0QpXDM.jpg)
The transparent shells are of sub-par quality compared to the original cherry plastic shells, to be honest. When trying to put them on, there's a good chance that part of one of the latches will snap, which means throwing it out and trying again. I do like that you can see the gold leaf contact from the rear, though.

I don't have any non-plated 78g springs to compare with, but they seem very well made and look great.

The Standard Stainless versions are very smooth too.

Making a little assembly line would help a lot with the full-size, less so for the JD40.

can i use stabs on plate mount?
The gold stabs are PCB mount so they will not work with a plate.
Wish he would make some gold plate mount ones though.

If you took the gold wire and used it with the plate mount hardware I think it would work right?
That's assuming you have plate mounted cherry stabs laying around.

can i use stabs on plate mount?
Hi! For which board ?
If it's a Korean board, they use almost 100% PCB mount Stabs into plates. (Not the Plate mount Stabs into the Plates!)
It's due to machining a Plate w plate mount stab holes is much harder and sophisticated, than a Plate w PCB mount stabs cuts.
And due to quite a lot of Koreans seem prefer softer key feelings even with stabs.

This might be just what I need for my mx blue switches.
Post by: sethk_ on Sun, 19 April 2015, 21:16:15
So, I guess the new 62g spring is the new definitive spring.MX Blues w/ 62g gold springs are sooo nice, they feel smoother, and I put a 72g one in my spacebar, and it all around feels very fluid and comfortable to type on
This might be just what I need for my mx blue switches.

So, it may need minimal lube, imo.

I prefer minimalist lube for the switches, springs and stabs for a TKL with 0.2 - 0.3g
So I guess 1g will be quite enough for a board, in general. But Tastes vary a lot, IMHO.

Thats why I chose the stabs and springs, they are like butter. Cherry stabs stock suck, and make green switches feel awful, so thats why I got the stabs, and I got the springs that best matched blue springs, because they are a lot smoother and I don't get the springy feel as much now.Paid the invoice! :D

A few days ago I received my springs and stab wires package but only now had some time to test the stab wires. My first impression, the surface is much more smoother than stock or stainless steel ones. The stabilized keys feel much better ballanced and the friction is close to zero with no lube. I have to test also some lube my guess is the feeling will be amazing. I will test some more also with 7u wire.
So far I can say these are awesome, the small things that make a great typing experience. :thumb:
Great work :cool:

Yes, current 62g are all v1.2 (old versions are out) but might need to produce 100 sets more in late May. I'm Not Sure.

- At this moment, No stock for 55g, 85g at all.
- 50g, 65g, 68g, 72g, 78g, 100g are running low stock below 25-30 sets. 62g v1.2 are under 50 sets.
- I will do IC, whenever need to produce them again.

Thanks for the reply :D ! I figured that was how it worked.
Springs are in stock now; thus, this is not a GB anymore, but individual orders, that are being shipped FIFO, so the waiting time is short.
I see, hopefully the springs will get here around the time that my other parts do.

Hello! Prelim ;)
The Standard Stainless Springs You got are v1.2 - triple heat treated, very smooth too, made of high quality materials the other Springs in Korea do not adopt.
the Gold Springs have v1.0 - half matte Gold plated
v1.1 high golssy gold finish
v1.2 medium glossy gold
Post by: sprit on Fri, 01 May 2015, 05:55:26
I'm confused SPRiT, you said me on pm 65g were v1.2 :/
Hello! Dear Prelim! Let's me tell You more details :)
- Your 65g Standards are v1.2 stainless, made in late March to meet the Total MOQ for the spring factory, with New 62g v1.2 (It was almost out of stock) ;)
- 62g v1.2 Standards went to gold-plated in April, but 65g v1.1 golds were quite enough in March.
- So, 62g, 65g Standard v1.2 exist since late March. :thumb:

I have this switch tester from coolermaster with an MX Clear and an MX Brown Switch.
I swapped the springs of those two and I really like the resulting ergo clear switch (MX Brown with MX Clear spring).
I plan on ergo clear modding my 75% board from your other group buy when it arrives (hopefully soon :P ) but don't want to buy a set of MX Browns just as a donor, so I consider buying your Standard 55g like I stated in the IC.
Would you recommend these for ergo clears or would you recommend (slightly) heavier springs? Because I read in the deskthority wiki that ergo clears might get stuck because of the spring being too weak and you recommend your 55g for MX red only in the form.

Most people prefer springs between 62 and 67g for ergo clears. Below that weight, they do tend to stick. Remember that Cherry springs are measured at actuation, and Korean springs (these ones) are measured at bottom out. Therefore, equivalent Cherry and Korean springs will have different nominal weights.Hi! user 18! how's going? ;)
Added actuation forces into the OP. Really Appreciate pointing it out ! :thumb:

The stabilizer wires are extremely smoothly polished, evenly coated, and require no lubrication for smooth motion. They seem to be good for any future corrosion resistance. I have a set of generic (maybe Cherry, not sure of the origin) stabilizer sets, and those come with very slightly thinner gauge steel gray wires with a somewhat rough finish. These stabilizer wires are definitely much nicer, for anyone min-maxing a build :)
This is what they look like assembled--would look sharp on a build without a plate:

Thanks for the mini review. I have been deciding if I'm going to order some of these (already have cherry stabs), but I think I will get some to try out.
Also, where did you get the plate?

I have been trying to find something (cheap) I can either repurpose or buy to use as a switch lubing station. I know some people recommend using an old switch plate or a faulty one so I have been keeping my eyes open for one but this lube station has me curious has anyone given this a go?
I have been using a black Steel plate from a dissembled TG3 (Deck) compact board. it's so nice and sturdy, but too flat, had to attach bumpons beneath it.
It is also used as one of my test beds for the Switches and Springs. I enjoy to hear all the noises and squeaks on that.

LSS (Lube Spring Swap) Station
It's just a simple stuff to play with ;)
Post by: Eszett on Thu, 14 May 2015, 23:13:35
So, if I understand you right, the LSS station is basically a scaffold to put some switches on it for lubing, right? To use a metaphor: Like a painter uses an easel, a luber may use a LSS station.
BTW: Are you still busy with shipping work? As soon as you'll have some spare time, I would like to order some 65g springs from you.
Post by: sprit on Fri, 15 May 2015, 00:36:51
- LSS (Lube Spring Swap) Station
- Easy to Align the switches on each position same as as on the target board (Visual match = WYSIWYG)
- Easy to align the springs on uniformal direction (Springs have cut directions on ends, affects it's movements, squeaks)
- Easy to Swap & Lube springs and switches, to apply even amount of oils overall
- Easy to Verify the lube result with caps on the spot, on a simulated LSS plate
- How to use LSS ? - Remove Switch Top > Put it into a LSS hole > Spring Swap > Lube > Top on > Live Test, etc
- Order > Mod note: order link removed due to sprit being MIA. Order from him at your own risk! * Some Out-of-Cherry-spec Clone switches may not fit properly, Cherry OG, Cherry RGB, most of Kailhs are very OK.

Yes! There is No top and bottom with my springs. No need to worry about that.
I mean turn it 90º degrees when You have a squeak, scrachy or some uncomfortable feeling.
I usually align all the spring's cut ends to 12 o'clock direction. if some has problem, turn it by 60-90 degrees until it gets best point.

OK! Let me say like this (But it's stupid to say, as you know) : Non-painted wall vs Painted Wall - Feels? (I don't mean a wall with rough surface) ::)
The differences might be very small and subtle, thou Some say its obvious. BTW, My Standard Springs have very smooth surface and nice elasticity itself! >:D
Plating job needs extra multiple processes, more cares for the quality control.
I am Not for the Bling effects at all, just interested in experiments. I'd like to announce a third kind of Springs in July.
* In the OP : As more steps and electrochemical processes involved, chances are there for some physical changes - Noticeable, or Not.

My results were very inconsistent.
One switch seemed to have worked well, another had a small change, but two others had no change at any angle.
For the two that had changes, the angle that affects them are different from each other.
I don't if it's the springs being inconsistent, or my jailhouse mod is affecting it, but the overall effect doesn't seem to be worth the amount of time and effort I spent on testing each one lol. :p
Post by: sprit on Mon, 25 May 2015, 23:21:44
Yes! The direction of spring's end cut is Not that critical at all, with my springs. ;)
As I posted, Only if it has squeaking, pinging, scratching, or any uncomfy problems,
Try to rotate the spring around by 60-90 degrees, it may fix the most problems.
When I got time, I will post some pics for this soon ;)

Yeah! 65g and 68g will be gold-plated to be v1.2 soon in mid-June.
All 50g ~ 150g are v1.2 already, But 60g, 65g, 68g are v1.1 Gold plated at this moment.
v1.1 has it's own merits : faithful to the fundamentals of functionality, already good enough. ;)

All the Standard Stainless springs are same since v1.0 - v1.2
The Gold plated springs : a bit different plating techniques have been applied.
Gold v1.0 : medium glossy
Gold v1.1 : high glossy
Gold v1.2 : soft glossy with New technics & added reinforced exceptional ::) surface smoothness. (Need minimal lube !)

Tried out some of the heavier springs on a couple blue switches. I found I favored between 120-150. I'm wondering if 150 may be too much on a full board.
Going to try it anyways soon ;D
Wow Krazy!! 120g~ 150g for MX Blues? I am scared with Your fists. ;)
What would You say the feels of them? :o

Pressing the switch down slowly, the initial push has some heft, but goes down without too much effort. You then get to the tactile bump. If you go down further after the bump resistance slightly decreases initially and cushions. As I increased the spring resistance, the less pronounced the bump and change in resistance became.
I also think talking a bit about my use case may give a better picture where I'm coming from.
My starting point was clears because someone recommended them for typists. I noticed that the ergo clear mod was popular, so I wanted to give it I try. However, I did not find them satisfying at all. I thought I should stick with clears, but I had a friend who loved blues. I let him try my clear board, and he found the resistance of clears interesting. I also liked the idea of clicky switches, so I decided to try a "reverse ergo clear" mod. Greens may have been more appropriate, but I couldn't find enough information on green springs to know how they differed from clears. I also thought it'd be easy for me to get clear springs due to the popularity of the ergo clear mod, and the list on your post put clears higher than greens.
We both liked them a lot, and it became my favorite switch. The only thing was I constantly bottomed out, so I decided I wanted to pump up the resistance. What I'm trying to find right now is a sweet spot between the trade off for resistance and the tactile bump.
At the moment I'm on the fence between putting the springs in blues or clears (The switches I have right now). I'm worried clicky switches are too obnoxious for others at work.
I'm going to wait till my next board arrives to experiment further. Since I'm at the higher end, I'll probably start with 150g and work my way down to see what I favor.

I was able to get a sampler from Sprit with a bunch of different weights, and I settled on 85g springs as the best point for me for clicky switches. The heavier weights were nice, but I think they would have been too fatiguing in the long run.
Totally agree. The 78, 85g, 100g with MX Clicky switches are good for my taste for fun typing, or occasional happy typing. ;)

I got my 62g and 65g springs in the mail today. The wait from Korean took forever but it was definitely worth it. My Poker 2 Blues were too light for me and the 65g springs added new life into them. It doesn't feel like a cheap toy anymore but they are still a bit light. I used the 62g springs for my ergo clears which is more like ergo greys, I plan to use them for my next project.
Thanks for Your Review! ;)
I just guess Your description - 'not a cheap toy MX Blues anymore' might means ; more stable, clear accentuated, less unnecessary redundant vibration.
This guess is from my personal experiences, naturally Not 100% sure about Yours.
I found my 50g, 55g MX Blues mods can be gentle, soft, quiet, delicate Blues.

Ah that makes sense. I just placed an order a few days back including 65g springs in it. Will there be enough in the stock that you just relieved or will I end up waiting for the next order? Also how long should I expect to wait for an invoice? Thanks!

Guys, don't start this over again. SPRiT had some health issues in the past, he overworked himself and this caused him big problems. He will deliver, just give him a break, he needs our patience and understanding.
I agree. I bought from him one month ago and he was very fast and nice to me. This change only means that he is actually unable to continue to do so for a while. Be patient, I'm sure that he will come back and deal with the orders.

I was wondering when you would have 85g back in stock and if it could be possible to get a signature request?
:'(
EDIT: AH! the worldwide link has 'em.
Would still like to know if I could possibly get signature request on the package.
EDIT2: Order placed!

Just made an order for 68g springs some lube and stabilizers!
does anyone have a newbie guide for lubing springs btw?
Take a small hobby paint brush and dab it into your lubing mixture. I find the less viscous the lube the better when it comes to springs. Then, hold the spring on one end with some tweezers and very lightly brush one side of the spring. Then, put the spring in the the switch housing with the side you just lubed facing down... try to do this without touching the lubed side. Then, continue lubing the other side with the spring in the housing. And remember: a little lube goes a long way... especially with springs. If you put too much the switch will feel mushy or gritty.
Hope this helps!

I want to know what spring is suitable for black switches and what spring is suitable for ergo clear?
Ergo clears usually use springs in the 62-68g range, although the exact weight is up to personal preference. I believe 62g is the most popular. Some people go as light as 55g; although some springs listed at 55g have been unable to consistently return the stem to the rest position, SPRiT claims that these 55g do not have that problem. I haven't tested them myself, but I also don't recall hearing anyone say 55g ended up being too light. So make of that what you wish.
Any spring will work inside a black switch -- no spring is more suitable than another. If you're looking for springs that are close in force to stock blacks, 72g is supposed to be close. I know that 68g is noticeably lighter and 85g is noticeably heavier than stock black springs (although I was testing in blue switches).

my 60g, 62g, 65g, 68g are the most popular Ergo springs from my GB experience.
My Springs Design scheme is massive range, systematic, differ from the other narrow range of Korean springs,
Never happened in the World before.

You may wish to wait a little before transferring money to Sprit. Read through the last page of this thread and the last few pages of the Sprit Model 1,2,3 thread. It is a gamble whether Sprit ships within months or years.
At the moment Sprit is ill (he says), and he hasn't been commenting on any of his threads for a while. He has however been able to ship out large shipments of PCBs to vendors, just not to his own customers.

Hey jlor, I just read the suggested pages of said threads. I saw that you took it upon yourself to ensure that others are informed about Sprit's unreliability, and I am sincerely grateful for that. That makes you a good person, and you deserve a pat on the back.
I will stay away from ordering his springs.
Just a suggestion: I see a pattern regarding the other post I read (Sprit Model 1, 2, 3). I see a lot of you guys getting slowly tortured by losing hope on your orders and then having it restored by misleading updates, and then this cycle just keeps repeating. This seems truly unhealthy to me, to have your faith restored and broken again and again. Just count your losses and move on. Don't expect anything from him anymore, it's just unhealthy. I just really felt for you guys when I read the other post and seeing people get disappointed repeated, and was also genuinely inspired when some of you gave him a lot of benefit of the doubt. Stay positive guys. Don't lose faith in humanity! (haha, Dark Knight reference)

I'm pretty sure SPRiT describes it as an electroplating process in the OP, saying that he's improved it over the different versions, so I do think it's actually plated, which means cutting one down to another length would be a bad idea, haha.

Yeah, he can be notoriously spotty in his response, but it's hard to blame him. He's been keeping busy with a lot of GB stuff and managed to keep this one open for as long as it has been. I had to send at least 5 PMs to him and a few emails to finally get everything I needed. I just wish I would have asked for the 6.25u wire as well.

These things are what pisses most people in Sprits GBs off. A lot of people have waited year(s) on their order, hear nothing but see people place orders and receive their stuff within months. Fun times.
Sprit should really close down GBs or give an update on the entire situation. This is nearing the need for a ban really.

This was what I thought also, it does not make much sense to change one gold spring for another with similar module, unless it was pretty different.

No need to lock the thread - just remove the order form so no new orders can be placed until Sprit explains why some orders are waiting years while other orders are fulfilled in months.

I'd be nice to know this as I want to buy some Gold Cherry stabilisers but I don't know where else to get them from...

Looks like others already clarified, but I never meant/said to lock the thread. Just a notice on the top of the OP. Other forums with good classifieds sections do this (shoryuken is one I used to frequent that was really good about stuff like this)

I will read all the replies, and post in detail.
It's good idea to hold this GB to save my burdens and focus on the remaining shippings on the other GB.
As I posted before, I have arranged the channels to save my burdens :
- The Mechanicalkeyboards.com is selling my PCBs and Parts, 24K Springs to USA and Worldwide. It might help.
https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_list&c=47&sortby=id:desc (https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_list&c=47&sortby=id:desc)
https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1350 (https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1350) : 55g - 85g
The springs Zeal is selling are pirate copies made in China. He copied my previous old version, but not in detail. I am not sure for their quality at all. Sorry for that.
I will post soon again. Thanks! ;)

I want a similar actuation force, though slightly less, and very heavy bottoming out force like stock MX clears.
What spring would you recommend to me?
I purchased 68g 24k from mk.com and they are definitively more difficult to the actuation point. From this chart and what I've read, should I shoot for maybe a 78g spring?

Don't think this is the post for your questions about springs, you'll want to post somewhere else. However, the gold springs on mk.com are SPRiT's springs. :)

I would try my luck on the marketplace.
Judging from the other Sprit threads, the group buys are not active. You can get lucky and Sprit will actually send you your order, but it seems there are more waiting for their order (for years) than receiving their order.
Honestly, I would hope all of his threads get buried. No reason to give this person more of our money.

Random curve, random initial pressure, random production quality.

As you know, Some of them never happened in the Original Cherry history.

But the other mid - heavy ones in the pic seems roughly random produced.
Might need mesurement and field test.

Thank you for the information, I managed to reverse image search and found the Reddit thread before you showed up. Some questions though; will Cherry/Gateron switches perfectly click to a plate that thick? 5mm seems to be pretty thick considering the standard plate thickness we normally see everywhere. Also, are you going to take orders in the near future? I'm looking to finish my build by August/September and could really use your help.

- 5mm (0.2 inch) Plates are exactly right to the max. thickness for the Cherry MX Switch design. It helps much more stable, quiet, ...

Look at that sexy board! ;-) You are right that they don't click in, rather it's a "pressure" fit. It's very stable and sounds great! I still use that plate on one of my daily drivers.

Below (on the left) you can see the exact diagram that displays the maximum thickness allowed for a MX switch assembly. I also made a crappy comparison between a normal 1.5mm plate (purple lines) and the 5mm acrylic plate from sprit (blue lines):

No, worries. Keep up the good work that you put into spring design. I just love them. I have your 72g in my Filco with MX black and now the 62g in my Nerd60 with MX blue. Both are version 2 so I'm a bit curious how v3 will be.

Interesting info guys, thank you for the information and guide. You've got one lovely board there Peter! I made a quick interpretation from the information you both provided and yes, apparently 5mm thick plates won't click the switches in place. I assume that with a 5mm plate what actually holds the switch in place are the soldering joints from the PCB and the flush pressure from the cuts.
Below (on the left) you can see the exact diagram that displays the maximum thickness allowed for a MX switch assembly. I also made a crappy comparison between a normal 1.5mm plate (purple lines) and the 5mm acrylic plate from sprit (blue lines):
Wonderful display!
So you can optimize the target feelings of each switch type with springs, lubes and Plates.
Materials, thickness, the way connected to the PCB and Case .. All are crucial variables to maximizing our typing Joy.
* Yes! Upon the Cherry design concept, plates over 1.6mm are not intended to 'clip the SW in' , but intended to 'plug direct onto the PCB',
Cherry calls it 'PCB-mounted Switch with fixing joint pins' - A kinda Revolutionary design back in 1984, when they introduced MX series in the exploding PC market, when most of others are thin plated-mounted.
But the cost effective PCB-mounting keyboards were rapidly kicked out from the market, by mucho mucho cheaper Rubber dome sheet boards since late 1980's.
The Cherry was Too late to gain superiority in the market, Almost dead buried for the next 20 years.... until We Geeks saved the Cherry Alive again in 2010's.

There have been many stock Cherry springs, sometimes very good, sometimes normal, or bad.
There have been many custom springs in Korea, the quality is sometimes good, sometimes bad.
Good Custom springs will beat the bad Cherry stock ones
Good Custom springs will compete with the good Cherry stock ones ...

What is the ETA for these switches? Are you planning to sell them? I am interested, I need some switches for my next build and these look great.Hello Dear ideus !
You can buy it anytime. You guys can do a groupbuy anytime. Its open market.
I am ordering several boxes from Beijing and Shenzen Cherry Distributors (10 min from Hongkong) for my use. Its much cheaper than buying from EU distributors.
Reselling from me will add several dollars to cover DHL, Tax, repack, ... costs.
Any Chinese member is willing to do proxy for all of us? MOQ is 800pcs - 8,000 pcs.

As my Distributors are focusing on most popular items.
I do all the Design, Production, QC, Inspection,
But packing and ship it out waiting at the POST office takes lots of time from me.
Now I got extra helpers to pack and ship much Faster.
We will ship out 2-3 times a week Worldwide - ALL FREE Shipping!
It will start from mid August step by step!

I see it has been posted here before, but I like the burgundy stem color of the MX silent. Fully-transparent housings (as opposed to Gateron's milky-white translucent housings) are also nice IMO, as you can see the switch elements inside.
Chemistry! Quality!
I see, Dear Oatburner!
I dont think The Cherry have Not considered the Transparent Bottom, but the Chemistry involves , IMO
All the requirements for the Stability, Sturdy-ness, Heat resistance ...
The Key Switches are the most essential parts of the keyboards,
the Chinese Clones Never been successful to overcome the original Cherry Quality,
except some smoothness, but at the cost of crappy inner contact parts, instability and wobble, IMO.

Hi Sprit, does the lube station support Alps switches? I'm considering waiting till the GB for Alps springs start and getting a few packs of springs and the LSS at the same time. If it's not currently supported, will you do an updated version with Alps support?

Thanks for remind me! Prepared last year, but forgot during my MIA and sickness.
Sure! I will announce Alps LSS lube Station with Alps springs.
It might support both Cherry & Alps in the LSS v3.5

4u 5u 6u 6.25u Sample Proto
Does the 6u with the bump works with plates? I have read about some interference with the plates if you use PCB stabs, or should it be use with plate mount stabs only?

Oh! Sorry! Ideus - A comment added :)4u 5u 6u 6.25u Sample Proto * 6u in the pic are Cherry OG with bump type for comparison only, Not for the Real production.

Need more info on your side
i still want a led compatible case, which material are you using? polycarbonate or acrylic?
i want the sides the be frosted(diffused) and the top and buttom to have a solid color(sandwich effect)
are your aluminum plates compatible with those kinds of cases? coz id prefer something aluminum either the plate or the bottom for a more solid feel
i also need a set of cherry stabilizers :D
any suggestions would be highly appreciated tho :D thanks!

I love the Blue Clicky SWs on the left, it reminds me of the Legendary Alps Blues, though Not the same at all, differer from their fundamental structures, but some similarities on its weight, refreshing loud sound, feels, bumps at actuation point, smoothness, start point feels, nice pressure curve with bouncing bottom out, wide cinema like cool acoustics, stability, much real metallic sound due to wider clicky stems, the best among Cherry MX family and the Clone bastards. Outstanding!
Sound Test 1 - [attachimg=2] Recorded within 1 inch distance, bare Switch w bare fingers

I've modded a lot of Matias switches, and I have experience with Alps SKCM Orange, Cream, Blue, Cream Dampened, Green (rare DocuTech), Brown, SKCL Lock, SMK White, Matias quiet click, Matias click.
My personal favorite is Matias click with a dampened stem from a Matias quiet click. It's almost like a blue with a more tactile click.

As the Alps had been dominant for two decades from 1980' - 1990', there are hugh amounts of varients, clones more than we can imagine.
Even Alps Japan had overseas factories and foreign partners everywhere in Korea, Taiwan, China, Mexico, America, Costarica ...
So genuine Alps Switches were from many different factories, some collectors insist some delicate differences exist.
Anyway, we are going to bring the History back to life!
We see all the different Cherry MX Clones are everywhere now, Why Not for the Alps?
When a fellow Korean member Duck borrowed my Alps boards, as he got none of Alps, to measure the dimensions for his Duck mini v2, three years ago in April,
I started preparing for the wider range of Alps custom springs and parts beyond my personal taste.
Happy Day! I am going to bed! GN!

- Specify the type of Alps switch, board, keycaps and plate used in each tests
- Cross comparisons between each Alps switch types and custom springs, in detail
- Pics, Extra videos, sound files, if possible
That all! I want. Appreciate! :)
Too hot Everywhere, but might Not for the down under Southern hemisphere Geeks :)
As the Alps had been dominant for two decades from 1980' - 1990', there are hugh amounts of varients, clones more than we can imagine.
Even Alps Japan had overseas factories and foreign partners everywhere in Korea, Taiwan, China, Mexico, America, Costarica ...
So genuine Alps Switches were from many different factories, some collectors insist some delicate differences exist.
Anyway, we are going to bring the History back to life!
We see all the different Cherry MX Clones are everywhere now, Why Not for the Alps?
When a fellow Korean member Duck borrowed my Alps boards to measure the dimensions for his Duck mini v2, three years ago in April, as he got none of Alps, I started preparing for much wider range of Alps custom springs and parts.
Happy Day! I am going to bed! GN!

Are you sure about the size of the wire?
As far as I know all the buys for HHKB like ALPS or MX layouts have had 7u space bar not 6u. Also, they use to sport Costar stabs, is that what you meant by ALPS stabs?

Well, I only got the blue one because I wanted the clicks. I can say I'd recommend it for modding. IMHO the crappy springs make it way rattle way to much in stock condition.
I'll use it like this for a while, but I'm definitely modding the springs once I can, and I will harvest them for my Infinity 60% PCB. (Eventually my UHK, but that's going to be a good while yet.)

I've seen a couple of promotional videos with these, while the pin spacing seems to be compatible with standard Alps switches, the MX dimple on the bottom means that you will have to drill your PCB or handwire, and I'm fairly certain you cannot use the slider in a standard Alps housing due to the way the spring retainer is shaped (and also I think the standard Cherry MX cross-shaped stem is slightly wider than an Alps slider in the vertical direction.
In short, these are probably totally incompatible with current Alps boards/PCBs and would require significant modding if you want to use them. I would still like to get my hands on some to try them out though, maybe Sprit can arrange a small 'Taster' groupbuy

I suppose with the gb open, you don't need more testers? Just got my third ALPS board on eBay and working on buying a 4th :DOh! Congrat! :)
As the vintage Alps boards are mostly 101 or 104 or more keys, I had included each 130 pcs a bag, for the 13 Testers.
As I got some leftovers, please send me your order form with a comment 'Alps Tester' :)
But due to the weekend, i just worry about the deadline to post the Report!
So we have done organizing The board of Testers.
I will shut up myself from now on! :-X :-X :-X

Are 4u and 3u gold-plated Cherry stabilizers available?3u 6u are under production, 4u 5u will follow according to the factory schedule. The Factory is one of the Suppliers for Samsung, LG Electronics, and have been manufacturing the MX custom springs for us for the last three years.

Hope All the Testers recieve it before Saturday to have enough time to conduct the Evaluations.

Hello! Dont Worry! :)Hi! :)
If so, We may arrange the Test posting dates as 1st and 2nd.
Lets discuss it before Sept 10, OK?
Cheers! :)
Just picked up the springs, will try and do testing over the weekend :thumb:
Same here. I'm testing now.
I guess the EMS Express (International Priority) have been delayed due to some Postal mails overload in USA, and in some Countries.
The Flights from Korea were exactly same day to Your countries.
Please Enjoy and Take Your Time and confer the Test Reports Schedule! Thanks!

I don't think he should be punished and prevented from setting up buys necessarily, but it leaves us with no recourse than do raise a stink until 1 or 2 people get parts, and the rest of us wait patiently thinking maybe this time it will pan out.

I honestly don't get why he's allowed to modify old threads into new group buys while his old buys are still in limbo.

This is not okay. As quoted below, I modified this thread a year ago to remove the order form and add a warning about sprit. Sprit has reverted my changes and re-opened orders, which will be dealt with accordingly. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and as always feel free to report things of this nature in the future.
No need to lock the thread - just remove the order form so no new orders can be placed until Sprit explains why some orders are waiting years while other orders are fulfilled in months.I agree with this, also there should be a CAVEAT note that the GB is stale or something so people are aware of that.
Good idea, guys. I've updated the OP.

SPRiT should acknowledge that he sort of disappears during the fall/winter/spring. He seems to be most active in the summer, and should probably stop taking and fulfilling orders during the colder months.
This really isn't an issue of seasonality. Some of us are on month 35 waiting on a Sprit buy.
I don't say this to pick a fight with you, but just to make certain people are aware of exactly what is happening.

I have been occupied with my job since September,
but Alps Springs shippings have been going on as the receipients know.
ALPS Springs GB was planned to shipped out by the End of the September.
I will try my best to deliver the remaining shipments at all by the End of this Month!
Thanks Guys for reminding me~!

Feel free to respond to the R1 thread to keep things focused.
He claimed he had help for shipping stuff other than the R1. Clearly they help Sprit with his own real job as well since the new springs arn't done. Basically means R1 shipping before the end of the month won't be physically possible. Then again, I don't think there was a snowball chance in hell we would have seen R1 progress in the latest timeline he set and only a slightly better chance we'll see it before next year if at all lmao.
Real talk, the job excuse has been silly since the start because it doesn't explain why he can't just ship the parts unassembled or whatever people have ordered since people like me who asked for assembly have offered and were ignored. Simplest explanation has always been he just doesn't have the parts. It's nice that the mods have locked the threads but it's too late to have any pressure on Sprit now that he's got his new gb $. Well played Sprit and screw the unethical folks in here I hope the springs were worth it.
Post by: Dansor on Wed, 19 October 2016, 15:24:10
Rehashing who may or may not be contributing to these issues or enabling them is not going to get us past this any sooner.
Hostility, no matter how justified, is just going to hurt the community and dissuade Sprit from doing anything.
Perhaps now that future group buys are (more or less) not possible, he will focus his attentions to completing the original buy and regaining some goodwill.
Best wishes,
Dansor (Eternal optimist and/or chump)
Post by: lol on Wed, 19 October 2016, 16:26:42
I understand and agree with the mods' choice for the delayed action. Now is actually the best time to gain support from non white knight community members because the card played pretty much signals the mods' hands have been forced by Sprit. The situational cannot possibly get worse.
And saying things would go smoother is a joke. There were plenty of chances and zero good excuses but the backlash was only kept to a minimal by the mods and community members because there was a chance Sprit could turn around. That chance has passed now but not for the worse.
Post by: sprit on Thu, 20 October 2016, 18:37:46
I understand this claim by people is Nothing personal, I have been distracted too many things.
I wake up at 6 AM everyday this week, answering the emails and packing to ship.
When I was busy in September, My helpers have been doing inspection and packing for all the parts in massive quantities.
What I am aiming are :
- The rest of ALPS GB will be shipped out by the end of this October (instead of by the end of September). The delay is partly due to some popular weights had been out of stock, had to produce again.
- The remaining R1 shipments will be solved in a month. As I am focusing on this issue for myself.
- My helpers will fix my previous shipping delay issue, as basically I had been doing all the designs, productions and shippings by myself.
- The other Channels and Distributors are active, they got enough stocks and supply for the American, ASIA, EU users.
- The new orders from my website and the other channels will be shipped out by my helpers quickly in 1-3 days.
Let's watch on the progress.
Thanks!
Post by: Dansor on Mon, 24 October 2016, 11:32:09
Those of us in the R1 order have heard this same story for almost 3 years.
Could you PLEASE answer the following questions:
1 - Would you be willing to give those of us who want it a refund?
2 - Do you actually have the parts we are waiting for?
ex It seems like many of the orders contain 110% boards. Do you actually HAVE these boards?
3 - If you have these parts, how can you justify, or expect anyone to trust, that new orders will be out in a couple days while old orders just sit?
If I ever get my parts, the first thing I'm doing is putting them up for sale, because I won't be able to stand to look at them.

The earliest people that supported him.
I would ask people to stop supporting him until he takes care of those remaining from Round 1, but that's an iffy road to start heading down.
However, if he's actually responding to you, I sure wouldn't mind those still ordering from him reminding him that there are people from R1 still waiting.
Sprit, a refund would sure make a nice holiday gift...

Wow, he actually had the nerve to post here and on Massdrop.
Enough already. The massdrop is the last straw. You need to provide proof right now that you are actually "finalizing" anything in January or else this is clearly just ANOTHER lying estimate to buy you more time. Whether that time you keep buying has been for funding more pet projects or to make up lost funds to finish the failed Round 1 doesn't matter. Because I just don't care anymore and neither should anyone else at this point - you obviously do not want to tell us even though we have tried to be understanding and give you numerous chances to do so.
Sprit, prove your intent to finish Round 1 in this new timeframe or I will stop at nothing to put an end to your massdrop and future vendor relations. Most of everyone else here seems to care more about getting their goods and I understand that but I've had it and I'm encouraging others right now this is the time to hold Sprit accountable. If he does not give a satisfactory answer it is easy for each of us to contact Massdrop and even post warnings in the comment sections anonymously that dealing with Sprit is flat out unethical at the moment. With enough voices massdroppers might cancel their orders / Massdrop can take it down.

For the "[SPRiT] R1 R2 (Shipping 92% Completed) thread":
3 years and 6 month waiting
Why this thread isn't closed?
From the OP:
WARNING: Sprit has failed to successfully deliver/communicate on group buys in a satisfactory manner on multiple occasions in the past. Order forms are removed per the moderator team, but the thread will not be locked in order to give Sprit the opportunity to continue to communicate with past buyers. Sprit has been assigned a member group that removes his post editing permissions, and he will not be allowed to start any future group buys or advertise on geekhack in any manner.
This is the case with all the threads Sprit has open. If we've missed adding that note to one, please send me the link and I'll take care of it right away.
