Thanks for the replies guys!
I am using any/all spare parts for the other PCBs I have on the way, I just wanted to hear your votes for what I'm doing with this particular board.
Seems like 62g lubed clears for now, and the lubed stock blacks and lubed ghost blacks will go in the next mini I get in a couple weeks :)
I use/love all switches! Every board in my sig gets rotated weekly and the choc mini gets modded every now and then :P
its personal preference.......Of course, and I love to hear yours!

My personal preference is...I have more stuff coming in the mail :)
Help me decide on this one, what won't be used here will be used later 100%
mx blue is the most advanced and well designed switch from cherry.I lubed a blue once. Hahaha what the heck happened to it. Hilarious.
Least contact points for friction..
I prefer clears. Cherry linear switches don't cut the mustard for me.its personal preference.......Of course, and I love to hear yours!
Got a Pure PCB today from turtle (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=21597), and I'm going to put together my first 60% using a green case I got from ApocalypseMaow (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=24815).

Here's my problem.
I have two bags...
One is full of lubed stock blacks, and the other is full of lubed 62g clears. (Springs thanks to Sprit (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=31094) and HPE1000 (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=30234)!)
I also have a bag of clear springs, stock blue springs, and a bag of blue stems.
But really deciding between stock blacks and clears. How do I do a poll...screw it...just post!
From what you get, you can have 2 sets of option :Panda clears are my 2nd favorite clear mod! Stock black springs are REALLY growing on me the more and more boards I use. Maybe not great for a marathon gaming board though. 62g black felt too close to reds somehow. I feel like it'd be a waste of these beautiful gold springs :P
- 80g stock Black + 62g Clear
- 80g Clear (Panda Clear) + 62g Black
Personally, I would prefer the 80g Clear (Panda Clear) + 62g Black :p
On one half, put black switches. On the other half, put the clears. In the top half of the blacks, put some type of springs. In the bottom half of the clears, put another type of springs.Did this once on a throwaway data 911. It was terrible. Lucky I only placed, did not solder
I like heavy springs (I'm 6'6" so I bottom out on pretty much every spring out there), and between the three boards I have with Clears and the one board I have with Blacks, I honestly prefer the Blacks. The Clears just feel like they get progressively spongier near the bottom of their travel where the blacks just feel more consistent.
Wow, teaming up on someone over a misunderstanding. You guys are a real class act.Don't worry, I think I've been in your situation before. It's all good.
I meant that I have heavy fingers and naturally press the keys really hard. Overreact much?

What does your height have to do with bottoming out? Short people can't reach the bottom of a spring? How short do you think everyone else is compared to you? Rude.

Settle down, man. Just joking around with you. I knew what you meant.
Note to self: No joking with Panoptic.

Height implies heavy fingers. Dat logic.
