You can replace the spring on the current switch with one from a ballpoint pen. I've tried it and it felt extremely terrifying with the amount of tension being held back by four little plastic arms. You've been warned :D
Why not just disable the stupid left winkey in regedit? Yeah, I am lazy approach guy. Or use my layout on GH60, problem solved since there is not left win at all.
I use them too, but you don't need 2 winkeys. You can disable them independently and the right still works.
Super Blacks would be sooo cool to actually see and try out..

Somebody who isn't familiar with cherry switches might be able to take that wildly out of context.

I think ur projecting here... race//sex didn't cross my mind with the previous sentence...

I... I would actually like to try these on every key.

one day, the fins on the slider crack, and it shoots out, taking out ur -left- eye.

You should look into switch locks, it's a little piece of plastic that you slip on top of the switch stem and it prevents the key from actuating. I can't remember where I've seen them for sale, but you can probably find some if you look around.You can find them here:

UPDATE: Got in equipment to do some soldering. After some practice I'll try to break down my Rosewill with blacks and see if I can't do some keyboard science.
In the meantime, anybody have/know somewhere where I could get a handful of black switches? (Theoretically any tactical non-clicky would work as I'm replacing the spring anyways.)
Gotta find the perfect pens. My only attempt became an ultra mega superblack. Spring was crazy heavy.
If you're lazy like me and have soft landing pads from EK lying around you can put 3 under the windows key a.d it makes it extremely heavy, like a super black.
Yeah mostly the only reason I did it that way was because I don't know how to solder... If I did I definitely would have done the pen spring one or found a real MX Super Black somewhere.If you're lazy like me and have soft landing pads from EK lying around you can put 3 under the windows key a.d it makes it extremely heavy, like a super black.
That's actually a pretty good workaround. I'm more into doing the project for the sake of doing the project, but as far as a ghettomod, that's a good one.
incidentally if i'm looking for replacement switches for my rosewill, is there a difference between PCB and Plate mounted style switches or is it the same switch, just mounted differently?
Basically, if i'm looking to replace my switch, do I need to specify that I need plate mounted blacks?
PCB mounted have plastic stabilizers, plate mounted do not.

Ehhhh? I could be way of base here, but I thought both Cherry PCB and Plate mount have plastic, while co-star do not.

Talking about the switch housings, not Cherry and Costar stabilizers. PCB mounted have those two extra little plastic pegs/legs for stabilizing the switch housing while plate mounted switches don't (like in this picture (http://deskthority.net/w/images/3/35/CherryMxPlatePcbMounted.jpg)). Of course you know that though.
I think those nubs are better called pegs instead of stabilizers. Your ontology is confusing!
