I'm out!

How very generous of you to do this. Now hurry up people! :)
-
Go go people!
Rarely you see such generous offers! :p
-
I'm for 1 set. Thanks
-
Nice :)
Edit: I'll go in for one. I have a feeling 62g will be too heavy for my liking, but we'll see.
-
Very generous!
But CONUS only. Oh well.
-
Put me in
-
Awesome of you to do this.
-
I am IN
(We live in the same state ekw808...you know what that means...less for shipping :D)
-
can i get one set? :cool:

Good guy ekw! Since I already have some of my own and recently built a keyboard with them, I'll start with the small review.
The 62g Gold springs, as I've mentioned in older posts though no one believed me, feel heavier and less elastic as the silver springs. As CYG has mentioned previously, the material used to make the Gold springs tend to feel heavier than their stated weights. For example, I'm using 62g Gold springs in my LZ 84 SE at the moment, and comparing it side by side with my KMAC 62g Silver springs, the gold ones are noticeably heavier, but not to any significant degree. These springs are more comparable to the 65g Silver springs, in my opinion.
Now, there are some other variables to consider here. While these are both plate mounted keyboards (KMAC vs. LZ SE), lube choice, lube volume applied, technique, new/old stems or springs, etc. are other determining factors in test. My KMAC has been used as my daily keyboard for quite some time, so it feels a little more broken in. While my LZ is using brand new stems and springs, and likely some different lubrication. Perhaps over time it will feel a little smoother like my KMAC, but right now I'm doing my best to break it in =)

Interested in a set. :) Thanks man.
-
interested in a set if there is enough to get to me.
-
Registering interest here! Thanks for doing this!
-
In for a set! Hurray for vacation in Utah!
-
Would love a set!!
-
Safe to say they are all claimed for, I'll count them tonight and send out pm's.

This is why I didn't want to sell them in the first place! Digital scale helps a lot
-
But he's only counting 80 or 90 pieces
-
I'm interested, would love to see what 62g springs are like to see if I want to buy them, or 65g.
-
I'll try some out.
Won't be reviewing until I get the custom plate for the Filco, though. If that's alright.
-
Someone wants to give me only one spring?
I would pay shipping to me, of course.
-
I was thinking of putting together switch sample packs with different springs, switches and lube/stickers....has anyone thought about doing that?
At the Chicagoland meet, I brought a bunch of samples like that and it got some good attention.
-
I don't need to use these so I can ship the whole batch off to the next guy after I've tried it.

Like an extended Mr. Interface pack of sorts?

I have three Goldtouch numpads that will someday become custom spring/lube testers.

I would gladly accept that offer. ;)
If there is another guy, I can ship them further. I just need to test them.
-
Oh, I'd love to try out a set!
Happy to post a review after I've used them as well :)
Edit: Haha never mind, not CONUS :P
-
I am surely interested.

I would 100% be interested in that. Even if it was the same switch, but each with a few of the different lubes, then sticker, springs etc.
Mainly the lube part, since there seems to be so many options.

Only have 80, posted the 8 fastest.
-
Ah damn, just off the money :p

Thanks for the chance, anyways!

I'll take someones sloppy seconds, and can pass them on afterwards too, potentially even inside of a MX Brown, Red, Black, or Clear stem and housing.
-
Wanna try it out if theres any left
-
Dang. Just curious how did you find the springs? If we want to try them for ourselves?
-
Sherryton appears to have a TON of springs available for sale soon. They're cheap enough to buy in small amounts or bags of 100 for a full keyboard, so if you want to try them, make sure you reach follow Sherry's vendor forum.
-
So I hear. Hope you all don't buy them all before I find out!!!
-
I don't plan on buying many =)
-

Only a couple 500ish or so :D

Came with a keyboard I purchased, and I swapped them out for different ones.
-
Shipped them all out earlier this week, people should be receiving them soon.
-
Got mine today. I know I owe you a review. I'll get on it :)
-
Will review once I get them:)
-
Got mine today, will post a review soon... I'm not sure if I like them or not. They bottom out higher due to the spring being taller.
-
Review here! (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38435.msg744221#new)

Added my review to SmallFry's thread :)
