Title: Where do I buy JWK switches?
Post by: wyz3 on Tue, 30 June 2020, 09:14:33

I am looking to buy JWK switches, (e.g Alpacas, Mauves, H1s) but I don't know where to buy them for a good price. If you can help it would be much appreciated.

In Canada, Apex Keyboards. They just sold out of a batch of Alpacas yesterday (?) in about 3 minutes.

They have Silent Alpacas up for pre-order right now, and I think PrimeKB does in the U.S.

PrimeKB seems to be a regular retailer of them in the U.S.

Also, you can order them off AliExpress from the Durock Store as their L-series linears, but shipping can be an iffy proposition. The ones I ordered in April still aren't here yet.

Alpacas, Mauves etc. usually go through vendors. Only ones in stock at the moment that come to mind are the FFF switches on Ilumkb. If you want to buy directly from the manufacturer, they have an AliExpress store, search for "DUROCK store". Durock = JWK = Everglide.
