Also, is the general consensus for Ergo-Clear's to use 62g springs?
i've seen both 62 & 65 mentioned quite a bit when searching the internet for tips on ergoclears. both are well clear of the 85g that Spirit mentioned as a comparison point for mx clears, but have a little more strength than the springs of reds/browns to ensure that it can get the key back up over the bump. a few people have talked about 62 still being likely to stick occasionally, so i opted for the 65s myself.
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)
