Both factory and I decide not to cut that led space for you since some people may not need it, and it is ugly without that part. Price will drop in future orders, not these 3000 left since I have paid for them as a distributor already.

Would the switches need desoldering from a Filco Majestouch 2 in order to install these?

Hmm.. I would not mind if my switch tops were milky white, so that they looked good on the white plate and diffused the backlight.

However, these switch tops are ABS, right? Cherry's original switch tops are made from another plastic, probably POM.
Aren't these ABS switch tops less durable? I got some knock-off switches with tops made of ABS and the legs have broken on every switch that I have opened.

Need to fix the molds--make them not as tight around the switch stems (adds to friction).  Then I'd love to get your covers in some color.

Interested.

By the way, is there a reason why the entire switch housing isn't sold? (instead of just top cover)
Title: Re: [IC] mx clear cover round 2
Post by: SpAmRaY on Wed, 04 December 2013, 15:09:20
Seems like there are quite a few from R1 who have not received their tops yet

That has a lot more components, including metal parts that are fixed.  Are you asking them to make those parts too?  Also, they still need to correct the inner dimensions of the existing tops--designing and executing the bottoms would need to have even lower tolerances for error.

So no space for LEDs? Bummer.
I think a cool color would be a transparent graphite.

These allow for an LED like normal cherry tops, however what was discussed before was the possibility of having a different mold made to allow for switch top removal while leaving LED's intact.

What? I thought the only issue what that the tops couldn't be removed with leds in, which is an issue with all mx tops that aren't modified.

Unless I am wrong and these don't support leds for some reason and I missed that.

I think he means the not-at-all-easy-or-clean mod where you cut out that chunk of plastic that holds the LED into the top part of a cherry switch "case".  So that allows you to keep the stock "case" (switch enclosure) that you started with.

But that is so tedious and I can't imagine it would be very clean or consistent, and is hardly comparable to buying a custom top.

What exactly can they do?  They don't have extras (or enough extras) and I doubt their talking to the proxy will be any more effective than the people who haven't gotten theirs yet.

The GB organizer is still responsible when people have paid and there items are not shipped.

So your saying if you run a GB a group buy and have someone help with shipping and they don't shop or just don't respond the people who have purchased are SOL?
Title: Re: [IC] mx clear cover round 2
Post by: nubbinator on Sun, 05 January 2014, 14:02:29
I'm saying that they can't force the proxy to ship it.  I don't know that anyone has contacted the group buy organizer yet to see if they can find some kind of solution, so I can only comment that they don't have any extras based on what they've said in the past and that they can't get the proxy to ship any more than the people who participated and are waiting on shipment.
