Oh I didn't tell you they came a few days ago but I have not had time to do anything other that take a quick look at them. I really like them, those keychain bases are awesome and that sparkle keycap is nice also. I will try to get some pics over the weekend.

I was going to tell you the shipping envelope had a very large hole in it, just an fyi in case that starts becoming an issue with your other orders.

Do a tactile MX white buy and I think you would reach 4000 quickly.

White's are clicky? What is this magic you speak of??

But yes .....white switches FTW!

http://www.conrad.com/ce/en/product/706351/Cherry-Switches-12-VDC-button-module-MX1A-A1NN-Without-locating-pin-NA-001-A

pretty sure those are clicky
Title: Re: [GB] Cherry MX Clear Plate Mounted Group Buy (Taking Orders now)
Post by: Glod on Tue, 04 June 2013, 23:27:11
correct, those MX1A-A1NN are whites (milk) which are clicky and are 80g (i have them)

there are a few places with MX1A-C1NW (Clears with the PCB pins) but if the shipping is cheap for this then this may be the way to go, not sure what Sager or Allied shipping costs are.

Maybe I'm blind but I couldn't find the USA as a shipping option when trying to checkout....I think I do want some white switches to try.....

It is and I wanted some plate mount clears so I can save my pcb mount clears for another project in the future....but I'd also like to find whites and someone else asked about whites above and it just kind of went downhill from there.....

Also pexon says this GB may not make it after all....

oh sorry to hear that, people in Europe would actually benefit from this i think based on shipping, at least from what i've seen searching the webs.

Sager has like 15k PCB-pin clears in stock, you can use flush cutters to take the pins off. Not sure what the shipping cost would be.

I've got plenty of clear pcb switches I just keep telling myself I'll need pcb switches one day so why not just try and get plate mount for my phantom build  :p ....I know it sounds goofy to most people probably

Not enough people interested in modding MX Clears themselves, I'm guessing.  And those who do may have already gotten those switches or have signed up to get them elsewhere.

I thought this would fill out too, I dropped the price after talking to the supplier, but seems as though the price was not low enough. I was more than willing to spring swap, sticker and lube switches too, but ne'er mind!  ;)
