I can get my hands on a large(ish) quantity of MX Grey in linear form. Anyone intersted?
-
Aren't grey switches tactical?

I believe the dark grey are linear, whereas light grey are tactile.

What price per switch are we looking at?
-
I thought they were going to be tactile gray when I saw this :(

when in doubt look at the wiki. and by wiki I mean the one at DT of course which agree's with what Halverson said: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Cherry_MX (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Cherry_MX)

ROFL! So how much are these going to cost pexon? :)
Edit - Halverson, Gray tactile switches may be a lighter gray, but MX Gray always means tactile. You should really add Dark to the title pexon. It'll cause less confusion imo :)
-
I am interested depending on what price they are going for.
-
Whats a fair price in your guys eyes?
-
Can anyone tell me the difference between light gray and clear switches? Except that light gray switches are stiffer....
-

Look at the difference between the Clear stem and the Red/Black stem. Light Grey switches are VERY Tactile and Dark Grey switches aren't tactile at all.
EDIT: To be clear, Light Grey switches have identical stems to Clear switches, and Dark Grey switches have identical stems to Black or Red switches, just varying in the color.
-

There is no difference between them except for the Light Greys being stiffer, which is because of different springs. Well, that and the color, but being as we call them by that, I think you have that down.
-
Mark me down as interested.
-
Right, I will sort an Google Docs form out after, I have some soldering to do first.
Still need to work out a price, of what you guys think is fair.
-
in for 110
-
Interested, depending on price for 70.

Are these new switches? Used working pulls?
-
interested as well, depending on price for ~65
-
These are brand new switches, yes.
-
I might be interested if the price is right.
-

Plate mount or PCB mount?
-
I think a good price would be if they were cheaper than pre-order prices from 7bits MX buy.
-
Plate mount. What does 7bit sell em for?
-
I think they're .54 euro, so about .70 USD
-
Halverson is correct. 7bit's pre-order prices are:
MXDARKGREYP | 0.54|EUR|MX1A-21NN
Shipping is 4 EUR no matter how many switches you order!
-
i might get some then
-
I'll be in for some if the price is right :D

Could not resist!
-
I will honour those prices then, does that sound fair?
-
I will honour those prices then, does that sound fair?
Meaning 70 cents per switch or less?

I hope less ;}
-
Yup, I'll see if I can hit below 60c per switch.
I may be able to do free postage and free sweets too ;)
-
and free sweets too ;)
What are free sweets? Candy? Lollies? D:

UK sweets!
-
Do you d00dz get Maoam? They come in packs of 5, I can get sweet or sour ones, I will throw in a few packs with each delivery, like I do with my cables etc. ;)
If you want, 'British' sweets, I can get some Irn-Bru chew bars or something, they are good ;D
-
I will take the 110 I expressed interest in earlier at the 70cents or less price :)
-
What are they? I love sour. And sweet.
-
I will also commit to 110 switches.
-
Right, I will get the form up tonight, dependent on the beer situation, there may be beveraging, if not, it will be tomorrow. ;)
-
Sorry for being a switch derp, but whats the difference between tactile and Linear ?

Tactile means you feel a bump (Think Browns), linear means you feel nothing (Think Reds/Blacks) :)

Already done!

So these are a lot stiffer then blacks correct?
Also a question about the DT wiki, are blacks (60cN) really stiffer then clears (55cN)? Are these numbers accurate? Because I use both and was under the impression that clears were definitly the stiffer of the two. Or is that just caused by the tactile bump?
-
IC form coming soon. GB imminent! ;)
-
GB Thread posted, awaiting Mod approval
-
These grey are 80cN so they are noticeably more force than blacks. Clears are 65cN, ergo clear could be 55cN, maybe whoever edit the wiki f*cked it up?
-
Thanks for the heads up man. :)

Aren't there 2 variant springs to MX Clears? I remember the heavier one being 80-105cN or something like that?
-
Differences comes from some measuring actuation, and some measuring bottom out forces. There could possibly be a super clear variant I suppose though I have never seen a part number to indicate so, but it wouldn't be anything common.
There is a 105cN clicky grey too, known as grey36 or MX1AB1N*, but it is quite rare.
This one linear is grey37 or MX1A21N* which by the way are these with or without pin for PCB/plate mount?
-
Where are you sourcing these? Perhaps you can also ask for more popular switch colors? Clear, white, red, and blue switches are the most popular ones according to the GH60 GB orders. Both greys and black were the least ordered switches.

Will look into it, this was just an opportunity I jumped on. Will see if I can get some clicky grey and the more popular switches

GB Thread posted, awaiting Mod approval
FYI you will need to PM a mod or else it will likely sit there for 12hours awaiting approval
-
Mine have always been approved within 30-40 minutes, but it probably wouldn't hurt to PM a mod
-
Will PM one NAOOOO ;)
-
Where da group buy brah?
-
Awaiting approval still, I sent a PM to a mod...
-
I want some sweets!!! C'mon mods!!
Oh and was there a limit to how many switches you can get Pexon?
-
150 each, I think thats fair. I dont have a massive amount of switches.... we will see how it goes
-
150 what each, wait what? I'm confused D:
Edit - For the candy? lol
Yall can get a max of 150 switches each, until I run out
Ahhhhh, I need to context. I tried but couldn't figure it out and that sounds fair. Thanks :)
-

I wouldn't mind a max of 150 sweets :D I need some UK delicious! ;D
-
Just post a link to your Google form in this thread. If a mod gets mad about it, then they should have approved your GB thread...
>:D
-
I want it to be fair and I want to be able to keep it organised.
-
GB approved. Gogogo!
