Title: Closest MX spring to linear Alps
Post by: andresteare on Fri, 14 May 2021, 08:20:04

Hi guys.
Recently I put MX Red springs in my Gateron Yellows because the stock springs were causing me fatigue, the weight is now great and I'm overall happy with the result.
However I really love the weighting in my linearized SKCM blacks board and was wondering if there's any MX compatible spring with a similar force curve, it doesn't have to be the exact same.

Alps and MX are different so it's not only the spring that has a play in it probably but, for the spring you should find aftermarket spring that bottoms out at 70g that is what SKCM black alps bottom out at.
