MX The Jesus Switch
« on: Sun, 16 December 2012, 02:28:10 »
Was perusing this article, and these seem like the perfect switches. I need to have them. Where in the world can I get a good supply for a custom build?

That is a truly ridiculous name for a switch.

I've been looking for some 55g springs for quite a while.  Hopefully keyboard story's new site will have them.  Is there a name for vintage blacks/modern blacks or reds with 55g springs?  I like my ergo clear the best so far so I wonder what super ergo clears are like.  Maybe there should be a section or thread dedicated to just reviews of cherry mx switch/spring combinations.

Super sergo clears probably wont work or will be super laggy as regular ergo clear can already be laggy.

ever experienced lag on ergo clears?
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

What lag are you guys talking about.... input lag, or key return latency....

i came up with it. follow the light white!

sometimes certain stems have trouble with lighter springs, but it's mostly a manufacturing tolerance issue. if you find a switch is not popping back open, try another spring. always order +20 springs when it comes to light mods, some of them just don't have the umph for tactile switches.

I really want to try browns with the light korean springs as well as linear stems with the light springs.

Right now my favorite two combos are ergo clear and red/ghetto red. To me brown with light springs seem like they would have a similar feel to an ergo clear only lighter where as super ergo clears would likely be a pain due to rebound issues.

I guess following the ergo clear name these would be ergo browns and ergo reds as they are lightened.

like i said if you are thorough you can completely avoid rebound issues. super light ergo clears are one of my favorite switch. it feels 'clunky' in a good way :)
