I'm looking for 100 linear Gateron switches. Let me know if you want to sell some.


No longer looking.

I was looking for around 160 blacks and maybe just a few of each other to try. No idea how much shipping from Canada to the UK would cost?
Also cheers for your online tools they are what has led me towards building my first keyboard haha.

I always love to be the enabler.  I apologize to your wallet. 

I will check when I get home. I should have enough blacks for you. Shipping would be about $10 for Air (no tracking and ~2-3weeks for delivery). I will have to weigh and actually check the cost of the express options. Shipping costs more in Canada than in the US, so I am willing to split it with you to get it to the ballpark you are expecting.

Awesome! I am used to paying lots for shipping being from the UK haha. Let me know how much the express will be when you get the chance. Or even possibly a slow but insured as 2-3 weeks is nothing to wait haha.
So glad I joined rather than carried on observing this is one seriously kind community.

Tracking code received, now it's time for the waiting game. If I'm lucky it'll be delivered in June.

In May probably.

Do not underestimate the incompetence of the Brazilian post.  :( At least with a tracking code I can complain if it takes too long.

Tracking says that my package arrived in Brazil. Now it goes to Customs, a.k.a. Curitiba's postal black hole (Curitiba is the city here in Brazil who concentrates customs for packages with less than 2 kg).

Now we wait.

mecano's switches were sent from Singapore, couldn't be delivered, returned to Singapore and were resent to him.

While all this happen, my switches arrived in Brazil in 5/5/2015 and are still being hold by customs. And no estimate of delivery. :(

All that quotes just to say that the first package of switches are still being hold by Brazilian customs. :'( The second package with 94 Blue switches came from the US in less than a month.

Well a week is a 700% delay - if a package arrives in the country and customs aren't interested I'll have it the next day.  Even so, it's only a week...

I think I'd just pretend the rest of the world didn't exist if mail took months, you have my respect for sticking with it!

Months? One time a movie Blu-ray I bought from Amazon took 2 and a half years to be delivered. That coincided with a period where Brazilian customs agents made an special operation to curb illegal imports. Which wasn't my case, but it was affected the same way. Brazil is a mess. Period.  :(

Thank you. I did a bit of investigation and my keyboard is plate mounted so I would need to solder each switch. I haven't got the time for that so will just probably buy another keyboard or wait for the rgb topre

Just buy them from Amazon if you don't mind the plate-mount version: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=gateron . About the same price as MD. The ones on Massdrop are PCB mount if that's what you require.
