I'm not jelly. I got 100 MX Greys from 7bit. Not MX Dark Greys. Mine are tactile, like MX Clears, but with heavier springs. :)

Maybe if they were Grey and not Dark Grey lol. I'd hold out for the GH60 :)

Rofl /bow

Edit - Are grey (light) stems identical to clear stems? Someone's borrowing my switch remover tools or I'd check.

You really should put it in your signature imo.

PS - You can't beat my brain coupled with Galaxy Note 2 multitasking :)

Edit...Well at least not until Google introduces the same thing for Key Lime Pie

It won't matter if they're Plate or PCB mount, assuming you buy a plate :)

Just check the bottom for the little plastic pins to see!

Not sure if they're "in the mail" or if they "came in the mail today".

PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN :p

Haha I'm on my laptop now :)

Explain to me exactly how MX Dark Greys are considered ergonomic, with those heavy springs. Or you just like to have contradictory things together? ;D
