Make it 3 ;). It would be great to spend less than $20 after shipping/etc.

Do you know if these will require some kind of hardware or software modification to work with a modern keyboard?

Basically it depends on your usage and firmware.

I think this will explain it better than I can

Thanks hash!

 42 MX Lock switches have been ordered. I'll get final numbers in a day or two!

Also I'm going to inquire with the sales guy if they have any other switches.

It locked, but it is very hard to press.  The others are very smooth. 

Is there a way to put it back? I opened another one but it doesn't lock after I assembled it back.  Figuring it out right now..

Heh, the first thing I did when I got them was open one up as well. Thankfully it reassembled just fine…
