Title: Cherry MX White
Post by: Harms on Mon, 24 July 2017, 12:10:21
Hello everyone

Where can I buy the clicky cherry mx white switches? I remember seeing a site with them, but totally forgot the site.

Thank you for your input.

I got mine from mechanicalkeyboards.com however shipping outside of the US was unreasonably expensive

But maybe 7bit has got some in stock again, he got a thread over at Dufour for that

Bit late now but make sure you get the retooled versions. They don't have the inconsistency problems the older ones did. I know for certain that sennin32 on eBay has them, that's where I bought mine from.

Not late at all. Yea I heard of those inconsistencies that's why I'm still kind of scared to buy them lol. But how can you tell if they are re tooled or not. So far I found two retailers who sell them. I also plan on spring swaping them.

I don't know of any any ways to tell from the outside. The new ones have gold plated springs, though. I don't know what other sellers carry them, but the seller I mentioned has always delivered the new ones :)

New ones have the gold plated springs? That is easy to tell at least. Would you mind passing me the link to the seller on e-bay? It would be much appreciated, thank you very much :).
