Title: Which switches?
Post by: xondat on Thu, 31 March 2016, 18:56:45
I've tried the following switches, all stock, all in plates.
I'd prefer to not bottom out but that's kind of unavoidable. 3mm travel would be perfect but I'm scared that I wouldn't hit actuation all the time.

If someone could advise me on which springs to get then that'd be great.  :-* :-*

Sounds like you would like gateron browns with a heavier spring, not sure about what spring though.

yes they are bottom out not actuation

All this gibberish with springs confuse me too much. Might just go for 67g and hope for the best.

I think Zeal has said that the 78g Zealious feel just a tad lighter than stock Clears.

Zealios?

3mm travel - you'll still have 2mm travel to actuation, but O-rings can reduce further travel to 1mm, making a total travel distance of 3mm.

So 67 or 78 zealio ._. I think 78?
