Title: Tactile Switches
Post by: Error213 on Sun, 16 August 2020, 12:53:24

Hello. I’m trying to find tactile switches in between 2.40$ - 7$ for 10. Please comment if you have any suggestions and I am willing to combine 2 switches

Those are rather specific prices...
While out of stock, novelkeys has a ton you can look through, often with springs rates and other info.

A lot of switches are difficult to get right now so your options also may be limited. Chinese sellers are saying early November for purchases at this point but I suspect reality will be closer to December.

Bang for the buck, if you have switch lube (Krytox/Finish line) and don't mind the hassle, Kailh Pro Purple are quite good, but they absolutely must be lubed. Once lubed I'd say they rival 62g Zealios V2 (without being lubed), maybe not exact but darn close. However, if you don't have lube then you need to include that in the cost, and while still a lot cheaper than Zeal there's a lot of other choices in between. Unfortunately like a lot of switches, they too are hard to get right now.

Holy Chickies are pretty snappy. They like to snap back up too, so very responsive.

Lol this is literally my exact comment in another thread. You first comment here is a copy paste from someone else? I smell a bot.
