[GB] Gateron Switch (CLOSED)

[Cottonsox]

the Gateron clears are linear and not extra tactile like the MX clears.

Just a hunch, but I think many people who are ordering Gateron clears are confused about this.

I think updating the form would make this a bit more transparent, just add weight / type.

Yeah this is totally me, I already have 30g and 35g springs I rock, I saw the clears and was super excited to get a higher tactile to swap in ultra light springs on. A 35g linear is useless to me, would just make more sense to have reds or blacks to get the key count up and spring swap to whatever you wanted weight wise.

(Edit: I will still take the clears, for the transparent top/case - and just mix them with some regular cherry clears down the road, so don't change my order - unless there is a Gateron that is equiv to an MX Clear... that would be amazing)

Anyone know the answer to this?

[hwood34]

Will there be yellow switches?

Yeah, true

[fattredd]

I'm in. How close are we to the 20k mark?

[Bromono]

The browns. Is the bump as gritty as mx browns? Or as nice as clears?

[Cottonsox]

in for 200 blacks!

[hwood34]

Um, so just to make things a bit easier, if at all possible I'd like to ask that people order in 10s. If you can't, no problem though

[Shadovved]

Yeap, that'll help me greatly. However, if you are going to order less than 10, you can still go ahead.

Just that for orders greater than 10, I'll prefer than you order in 10s.

I'll round the current orders which do not follow the guidelines up to the next 10.

Thanks!

[clacktalk]

The way all the reviews described gateron blacks was straight up pornographic

Shipping will be around $7-8 worldwide no matter where since it's being shipped out of Singapore....There will be a $2 handling fee.

I think that poor mx lock is trying to tell me that I might potentially mayve have a chance. lol
Think I'll continue with my plans unless someone actually prove it fails and saves me some butthurt and disappointment.

[SigLogical]

Ordered 220 Clears and 110 Blacks, Looking forward to the success of this GB!

70 Brown switches, something tells me it's not going to meet the 20k MOQ

[animated]

I'm still pretty new to this hobby.  Regular cherry MX blacks are 80g and are Gateron blacks 50g or 60g?  On MD its saying 50g but on the tear down its saying 60g for the Gateron blacks.  Thanks!
