Title: Surplus switches
Post by: drinferno on Tue, 21 February 2012, 08:33:19

I'm interested in doing the Nostromo mechanical switch mod.  Is there a resource to buy just switches, or is the easiest way to just buy a cheap(er) keyboard and pull out those switches.

I would like to use browns or reds, I think.  Haven't made up my mind entirely.

If you are in Europe, then the cheapest way to get Black MX switches would be to buy a used keyboard on German eBay. Prices from 1 Euro, with shipping inside Europe ~9 Euros.

Um, you shouldn't create a wiki to ask a question!
