Title: Mx mechanical keyboard lightest springs
Post by: Plautus on Fri, 10 July 2020, 11:37:41

I wanna buy those 12 S    (Actuation  8 cN)    World Premier  Ultra light   Jan 2019
But only 1 shop offers them, and if I try to purchase it says they dont accept online purchases....

Where do I get the lightest springs?

Sprit has a list on their site of vendors that carry their product.

I don't know how low on springs you've gone in the past but these will be SUPER sluggish to return, which can actually slow your typing speed, not increase. They will also be stupid easy to activate on accident and they won't even come close to working if you're using tactile or clicky.

What are you hoping to do with them?  Gateron Clears are stupidly light (I struggled to notice any resistance pressing one with my pinky) and they're rated at 35g.  I have 30 of these springs somewhere if they would be of any use to you?
