Title: [WTB] 4 to 8 linear MX stems
Post by: McWilloughby on Wed, 20 November 2013, 16:35:03: Hi there, I'm looking to swap out the stems of a few of the keys (at least WASD, maybe a few others) on my G80 (clears) with some linear to see if it makes it any nicer to play games on without making typing feel weird. Is there anyone out there that can oblige me or would I be better off just buying a few linear switches and taking the stems out?

Forgot to add, I'm based in the UK.

Post by: McWilloughby on Tue, 26 November 2013, 13:01:00: Am I right in thinking that red switches are the same as black besides the weight of the spring? Either way, whichever type you'd be more willing to part with is fine with me.

Technically, the Reds are a bit more expensive, but $1.50 is negligible to me. You make the choice, and whichever you want most is yours.

Post by: esoomenona on Tue, 26 November 2013, 13:16:26: Okay. So how this is going to have to work to save on cost is the switches are coming to me first (free shipping). I already placed the order. Then, once I receive them, I'll forward them on to you. I hope you enjoy.

Post by: GeorgeK on Tue, 26 November 2013, 13:21:35: I've got loads of these you can have for free if you want mate (well up to a point) and I'm in the UK which would make shipping easy (free really) - would that be better than esoomenona sending them to you? Isn't he in the US?

Post by: esoomenona on Tue, 26 November 2013, 13:23:23: I am in the US. But he's getting them for free from me anyway. The only thing is time. I did this because no one was helping him out. I mean, send him some if you will. I'm sure I can cancel my order.

Post by: McWilloughby on Tue, 26 November 2013, 13:28:51: I am happy to pay for them but many thanks esoomenona. I guess it would make more sense for GeorgeK to send some shipping-wise however, should I PM you my details George? Apologies for the trouble moose.

Post by: GeorgeK on Tue, 26 November 2013, 14:10:20: Hey - I didn't realise esoomenona had actually bought switches for you. If he can cancel the order them I'm happy to do this - if not I wouldn't want to mess him around. I would have offered earlier but totally missed the thread...
Title: Re: [WTB] 4 to 8 linear MX stems
Post by: esoomenona on Tue, 26 November 2013, 14:11:25: Order has already been cancelled.
Title: Re: [WTB] 4 to 8 linear MX stems
Post by: GeorgeK on Tue, 26 November 2013, 14:26:24: Cool - if you drop me a pm McWilloughby we'll sort something out :thumb:
