Title: Shenzhen parts sourcing
Post by: sushi on Tue, 23 August 2016, 06:43:36

Hey GH!

Anyone know a good place to source / find Gateron switches out here?

Touring a few factories and markets to learn more about manufacturing and thought of you guys. Looks like getting PCB's made pretty straight forward and cheap - will be checking out injection molding tomorrow, custom PBT keycaps anyone?  :p

Yeap - was hoping they might have a distributor or something out here to work with.

Many factories have reps directly on there, or selling unofficially.  Spend some time chatting with them and you might get some good contacts.

Thanks for the heads up, finally found a few places carrying mx clones, but were all unbranded or kalih. Taobao FTW.
