Title: Question - How much does a Cherry MX switch weigh?
Post by: honoka on Sun, 28 September 2014, 12:19:17: Hey folks, I'm wondering how much a MX Cherry switch weighs.
I assume that the different switch types weigh about the same but please enlighten me.
If you don't know feel free to use a digital scale and a switch tyoe that you have laying around.
I'm asking since im trying to calcutate shipping weight for a couple of hundred switches internationally :)

Shoot!

Post by: dorkvader on Sun, 28 September 2014, 17:31:36: 25 weighed 1.4 oz, so I round up to 1.5 just to be safe. This means about 6 oz per 100 switches.
