Title: Cherry mx white (milk) with blue springs?
Post by: AKIMbO on Sat, 26 January 2013, 14:41:55: Has anyone done a spring swap on cherry mx white (milk)? I'm curious what a cherry mx white would feel like with blue springs...or maybe some 62g or 65g springs.

Post by: Halverson on Sat, 26 January 2013, 15:02:28: Quick test. The soft click is the same. Weight feels about the same as a blue, but because of the softer click, it feels slightly easier to press down. I almost want to say it's like a slightly louder brown. Pushing slowly, it does feel easier to actuate than a normal blue.

I don't have a fullboard to swap around a full set, but I feel like it would be a perfect way to have softer blues.

Edit-Guess Lysol beat me, but his blue/brown baby analogy is spot on
