Title: Buying switches in the UK
Post by: Rika on Sat, 09 January 2021, 13:22:28

I'm trying to buy a small handful some misc switches, roughly 10 of each probably, but of the only two sites that seemed to make sense for that were MechboardsUK (https://mechboards.co.uk/product-category/switches/) and Mykeyboard (https://mykeyboard.eu/catalogue/category/switches_11/) which Mykeyboard (being EU based) is currently not shipping to UK, and Mechboards is out of stock for those particular ones (which, will of course change... I hope)

Is there any other sites or something I'm missing, was looking at some Kailh and Gateron switches.

I bought switches from https://www.opticboards.com/ a long time ago he is UK based i am pretty sure. Not sure if he is still active though i would recommend to contact him before placing a order.

Unless his site is setup elsewhere to auto update the year at the bottom it seems fine, atleast in the HTML there's nothing (although I can't say I know an absurd amount about HTML) so I might just try it as is

edit: just did another check, and realised no inks sadly, might still grab a set from there though
