I won't know what to do if I ever get tired of clears.
Switch to Alps? ;)
So change everything to jailhouse blues?
Everyone's tastes change. You're not weird for getting bored/fed up with something.

she cheated on me actually
I got tired of all MX switches.
One time I got tired of Topre switches.
No wait, I lied. That never happened. I never got tired of Topre.
Maybe try Topre? It's not a sin to win.
What aspect of Clears don't you like any more?
Change one of your boards to 62g ErgoClears and I predict you'll fall in love with Clear stems again.
First time I ever heard of jailhouse Blues. What is it?
And I wondered what happened if I get tired of Topre. I have so much investment in them!

basically a blue with a spacer between the clicky white part and the rest of the stem.
the result is that you actuate MUCH earlier. i forget if there is a noise difference.
extremely difficult to get consistent manufacturing.
Thanks tbc, is it home made DIY or it's something produce by Cherry?
That's sound like a lot of work. No wonder he likes jailhouse blues. Sometimes, after all the effort and work poured onto something, the affection towards the work grows.
That's actually what happened to me with vintage blacks...I loved the switches so much for a few months, then one day, just didn't get the same sensation while typing on them. Now I'm on my clears kick, and I love them. Don't foresee them going anywhere anytime soon for me.oh no. i'm getting my vintage blacks soon
I wont even consider them now.I understand it is personal preference and all that. But still I feel that anyone who spends 10 hours working behind the computer every day that uses a heavy switch has to be somehow kind of insane.
No, I used to like clears.
But after I did my jailhouse mod, I found clears more - what I would call uncivilized. My jailhouse mod isn't completely reliable but it's truly enjoyable to type on. Add to that some recent problems I have been having with a Deck with clears, and I'm fed up. Should have never bought that Deck to begin with and now its a big waste of money.

Can't blame a faulty keyboard on the type of switches it has :P ;)

I don't know what has come over me, but I have gotten very fed up with Cherry MX clears. They were my favorite switch for a while and I either bought or modded many keyboards to clears. And now? i just don't like them anymore.
They're simply nothing compared to jailhouse blues, in my opinion. Even though the jailhouse blues I make are not perfectly consistent and have to be reworked. But now that I have one keyboard with jailhouse blues on them I really miss it whenever I type on another keyboard.
I am thinking of desoldering various keyboards and selling the clears from them, then putting my jailhouse blues in them.
Would you guys share your experiences here? I have never gotten so tired of a switch type before. I don't want to end up selling lots of clear stems and switches, only to regret later and look for them again. Yet, seriously, that big tactile bump and noise from the clears is really coming across as uncivilized to someone who has very good feeling jailhouse blues.

Of course. I am just recording the emotional background associated with my recent dislike of clears. I didn't put clears on my lovely Tipro which has jailhouse blues and I like my Tipro, so that may have created a bias there.
That said, don't you go about making faulty keyboards out of good ones? :p Is there a new keyboard that has passed through your hands that has not been desoldered yet?

actually, riotonthebay is the OG cherry peasant. dubbed by me, i dont even know why.
I think the “master race” thing comes from the Reddit community http://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/, and more generally from the 15–25-year-old-male-video-game-player culture; in other words, immature children. I wouldn’t worry about it, but I agree it would be nice if folks would keep such stuff away from geekhack.JOIN THE ALPS MASTER RACE!Yeah, eugenics isn't funny. Why do people keep saying this?

That's kind of what it sounds like to me. It's like he's justifying all that work into hating clears and gravitating towards the jailhouse blues.
I'm sure changing tastes is normal over time, though.

I'd just use a different keyboard for a while. I love my Jailhouse Blues on the LZ-GH, but coming back to them from Clears is always strange initially. Stock-spring Clears are still my favorite switch, if I HAD to just use one type. I've considered replacing my JBs with 62g Blacks more than once (originally that board had 62g Blacks), but they grow on me again every time I use them. I don't think there's a "best switch" out there personally--it's a matter of subjective preference at any given time, and there's nothing wrong with having all your keyboards use a different switch configuration for some variety.
