depending on price, I'd take 200 of any switch type. Just going to swap the springs and stems anyways.

Interested in Browns, maybe up to 150.
Any idea if these would be PCB or plate mount?
I am interested in these as well, but I do have a few questions too:
1) Plate or PCB mounted?
2) Price?
3) Aside from the clear switch housing, how do these differ from normal switches?
4) Can these hold normal LEDs (not SMD)?
Here's a pic I found of the underside of the switch. It looks like it should fit the 2 pins of the LED, but without knowing the size of the holes, I can't say for sure.Show Image(http://hardaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/cherry-mx-01-hardaily-625x435.jpg)
7bit on deskthority has had these switches on pre-order for months.

They shouldn't be any different from regular ones with the black plastic. Here's the website for specifications. (http://cherry.de/cid/keymodules.htm?cpssessionid=SID-0DC6D4CF-6D0F225D) I'll post a copy at the top.
MX1A-GxxA/B
New GH user starting a GB and no one questions their credibility?
If you're trying to do a GB for MX RGBs, the MOQ is somewhere in the neighborhood of 100k. That's 1000 people at 100 a person. It's possible if you can make keyboard with easily doable SMD LEDs.
interested in 200 of any
Here's the email I received:
"Currently the plan is for a public release in early 2015. At this point we would be able to order it, however the lead time is currently unknown and the team here will not begin the order process until a forecast or PO is loaded. Please check back with us toward the latter part of January and we can check to see where we are then."
So, I'll push it towards the end of January for further updates.

I got some clarification on this, it is $100K per year not 100K pcs

Is this to become a distributor?

Yes
Interesting. Very interesting. Though I don't understand the reason for a clear switch case but none the less if their is a demand their will be supplies.

1) Bling. It looks different and I honestly have no idea if anyone would do this.
2) More light diffusion. This allows light from LEDs to diffuse more evenly allowing for cleaner and brighter lighting.
3) This allows for in-switch LEDs. This not only makes the light more even, but will also rid interference with keycaps as LEDs can sometimes cause issues in that regard.

Once I'm able to get a hold of these, I can start developing RGB PCBs (currently in very early prototyping stages). If you are not a big fan of LEDs, then it would be more difficult to see a reason for it. :D
I'd grab 200 blacks. Form filled.. hopefully this actually happens as I don't want to take apart an rgb keyboard for these
Received this email:
[...]As for the MX RGB, pricing is just now being set up. I can pass your information onto the sales person who is gathering some initial orders. It may be some time yet before we get stock on these.
That’s about all the new information on this we have at this time. I’m copying our Sr. Technician. Feel free to keep in touch with either of us.[...]
[...] I will let you know the next step as soon as Sales advises us on the status.
Will they be available in MX Clear?

I'm in the same boat. 3mm rgb leds don't exist afaik, but rgb smd leds (yay acronyms!) would work wonders with this clear switch case. Honestly, I was going to go with matias clickys cuz I quite like the feel, and they have a clear body, but good luck finding new alps keycaps, let-alone blanks, let-alone transparent blanks lol.

Yep. That's the major problem. We have people here that are capable of designing RGB LED PCBs (acronyms lol for real).
Who makes Alps keycaps? Can't we just run a group buy for that? All it is PBT clear plastic, with a coating on top and then written legends by laser. If a factory can produce these in Cherry, and they also produce Alps, they can for sure produce LED compatible keycaps. But what do I know :P

Will you be replacing the inside? In other words, purchasing to use the clear casing only? I'll see if they can sell just that because I'm also interested in the clear casing, but not with the switches offered.
In for 300 but would be niece to have clear stems perhaps instead of browns.
would these be compatible with the standard poker 2 plate and pcb?
These should work the same way any normal cherry switch would theoretically though I have not tried it so i can say for sure.would these be compatible with the standard poker 2 plate and pcb?
Note: I don't plan on using rgb leds, just white ones
