Yes. Just trying to find some that are more local and perhaps less expensive.

After trying CPTBadAss' new KBT Pure with MX-White switches, I've changed the OP from MX-Green to MX-White.

Looking for approximately 70 MX-White switches.

And I believe he won't have any in stock for a while (until Sept-October).

I'm starting to regret selling my bag o' Mx Whites that I was sitting on as I see more and more opportunities for keyboard projects. :(

Calavera and I bought the last of 7bit's stock a while ago, and he's the only reliable source for these. They were pretty pricey, I think we paid ~$95 for 100 each. This was out the door, so after shipping, currency conversion, and paypal fees. I tried sourcing from other places that had them, but cheapest was like $2 per switch before shipping/tax.

These are one of my favorites after putting in a light spring. The click is soft, not as sharp and annoying as mx blues, but the tactile feel is more defined than mx browns or ergo-clears. They feel amazing after lubing, however these are the hardest to lube.

Have you tried Mouser? I picked up some clears from there last week - more expensive than 7-bit but they had stock.

Also try finding the exact part number of switch you want and google for that to find the right product pages at electronics suppliers.

mashby was asking for mx whites, not clears. Clears are easier to source, whites are very hard and not cheap if you find any.

MX Whites (Plate mount) in stock (http://www.conrad.com/ce/en/product/706351/Cherry-Switches-12-VDC-button-module-MX1A-A1NN-Without-locating-pin-NA-001-A)


You could always switch bodies with another switch if you need PCB mount

Plate mounted are perfect. Thanks for the link!

I was lucky enough to find someone willing to sell their MX-Whites. Closing the thread.
