Title: Cherry Mx silver
Post by: Mi_ke on Sun, 30 October 2016, 15:52:44: I wonder if anyone know where to buy the Cherry Mx Silver Switches for DIY. They seem really good with its 1.2 mm actuation point.

Like the RGB Tech they came out with, its gonna be a while till these hit the DIY Market.

Still a bit expensive for harvesting, but hopefully will be available as loose switches at some point. I wonder if they are scratchy.

edit: looks like they are already on order as loose switches, but no ETA on when they will become available:

I look at this page at least three times a day and consider buying it. I have white switches currently, they work for me... I have no complaints and do well in games. Still, I want this board and must fight the urge to splurgeeee. :-X

I've been typing on them, not scratchy at all (to me) but I would like others to chime in as they get their hands on them. The shorter actuation distance is really nice, quick and snappy. The springs are on the light side, feel similar to reds but isn't that what blacks turn into when we use lighter springs? lol

Silent Speed Nature switches would be perfect.

Cherry MX Nature = Stiffer than Red, Lighter than Black. Probably the closest Gateron would be Yellows.
