buying them is prob out of the question then
There is a Gateron switch tester up on Mass Drop now. There was a hint dropped that if enough interest develops that switches may be offered for sale.

I hate plate mounted keyboards!!! After yesterday I have new found hate for emJust get a plate you can open the switches on. :) don't hate the plate, hate the boso company that gave you a ****ty one.

OP! As suggested, give the lube some time. If it doesn't clear up and still feels sluggish after a while I then consider desoldering and fitting a heavier spring. Or buy new red switches. Worst case.

Whats the purpose if the plate anyway? My guess is that it is used to protect the pcb from rubbish
Mount switches straight. It does a better job of it than the PCB mount holes.

That's not what it's for. Plates don't mount the switches any straighter than PCB mount holes.Whats the purpose if the plate anyway? My guess is that it is used to protect the pcb from rubbish
Mount switches straight. It does a better job of it than the PCB mount holes.
It makes the switches more stable, as it holds them rigidly in place. It stops any kind of flex you would have while the switches are just mounted on a PCB. It of course makes the board more heavy and 'solid feeling' too.

THATS IT? for that much hassle?
You're not exactly supposed to be opening these things. There's a reason it voids your warranty.

Yeah that too I guess
I've never noticed a huge difference.

Yeah that too I guessI'm surprised. I think there's a large difference in feel between plate and PCB mount boards. I could definitely distinguish between the two by feel alone.
I've never noticed a huge difference.
It's not 'that too'. It's 'only that'. Really, switches mounted just on a PCB will mount perfectly straight, so long as the switches have the two extra plastic pins and so long as the holes are the correct size on the PCB [I have encountered one PCB where they were too big, and they could potentially be mounted a bit off-center].

I dunno, I've had a lot of weird experiences with older boards.

warranty was meant to be voided!!!
You can't claim to be a real gher until you void the warranty on everything electronic you own (except for maybe the hard disk).
I'm certainly not a real gher, since I have not tried repairing my TV or handphone before.
:p

You took apart your mattress? For what?
Don't tell me you decided to put the springs in your Topre? :p

As I said I might have screwed up
Ohh, too much lube? Well you can clean it off with rubbing alcohol and q-tips, but again, it's extremely tedious. Switch work is usually tedious :(
That's when you hire someone else! :)

Less of a difference on eg a poker, but g80-8113 is floppy.
Some boards that done have a in switch LED or diode I think are bad PCB mount. Stabilizing the front of the switch with something is very important.

Isopropanol does noting to krytox. All about those q-tips though.
