Title: Cherry MX Brown RGB (Clear) for PCB or Silent Red RGB (Clear) for PCB
Post by: chris4prez on Fri, 18 September 2020, 15:32:09

Does anyone know a site that has in stock Cherry MX Browns RGB (Clear) for PCBs / Silent Red RGB (Clear) for PCBs?  I'm having a hard time sourcing either for my current build and running out of places to look to ensure they are legit.  Thanks in advance.

Are those legit?

From browsing the Cherry site at the bottom of these two docs it looks like I am looking for parts:

Brown - MX1A-G1NB
Red - MX3A-L1NB

Red -
