Anyone know where I can get some springs to mod a NEO KB-87 Zeba Wireless (thanks for the board keyboardlover)? The board came with a few extra Red stems and springs, but I need more springs for what I want to do with the board.
I have a working Scorpius M10 with Blues that I could scavenge as a last resort, but I hate to tear up a working keyboard just for a couple of bucks worth of springs.
They look like pretty common springs. Does anyone know of a part number for the springs?
Broken keyboards?
I have plenty of black springs, I need the lighter ones from Blue/Brown/Red switches.

Execute me OP, Do you get it to work on wireless mode(NEO)?
bump!

Yes. I put it on a Windows XP 32bit computer at work and it worked just fine wirelessly. So I thought it might be a problem with 64bit drivers, but I just now plugged it into my Windows 7 64bit computer at home and it works fine. I'm typing this on it now using the wireless interface. I'll have to let keyboardlover know that it's also working on Win 7 64bit.

But, back on topic, I'm looking for MX blue/brown/red springs.

LOL, congrats to him(or should be you as you are the new owner).
At least/last it shown that he is not that unlucky to pay over 160bucks and get a faulty unit which he cannot return or claim warranty for...

Search in Ebay for second hand Compaq MX-11800 or Cherry MX POS 7000/8000 series. They should the the few popular boards with Cherry Brown.
Or you can pay a visit to the TVS Gold posted in great finds section, it should be cheap enough.

Human, thanks! I was wondering what keyboards would be good to scavenge for switches.
Oh, I posted the pictures of the arrow keys on that keyboard I got from eBay you wanted to see.

Ha! I found a Cherry MX POS 7000 on eBay for $25.00 and free shipping and bought it. The key caps might even be usable. Two for one! :-)

Thx for your pictures and feedbacks.
Now, I can pretty make a conclusion that EK's keycaps(the ivory, blue one and probably even the RGB) are probably from/by Keycool.
