Title: Best Springs For Spring Swap?
Post by: filcomanfilthy on Fri, 15 November 2019, 10:30:02: I am going to be using either gat ink blacks or c3 tangerines and am wondering what spring would be best to swap out for a low 70gf bottom out weight.

If you want them right now though you'll have to order from the intl. proxy since the US one only has 55g springs without the lube + deck in stock right now. https://txkeyboards.com/en/shop/us-store/tx-spring-intl-70g-cherry-detail (https://txkeyboards.com/en/shop/us-store/tx-spring-intl-70g-cherry-detail)

My Zealios switches are 65G and they are NEAR PERFECT to fidget with.

I think, but 65G is good enough for me. Not too heavy and not too light.

but I'm using 65g SPRiT springs and so far I don't want to change springs anymore :p
