I'm not jelly. I got 100 MX Greys from 7bit. Not MX Dark Greys. Mine are tactile, like MX Clears, but with heavier springs. :)

Rofl /bow

Edit - Are grey (light) stems identical to clear stems? Someone's borrowing my switch remover tools or I'd check.

You really should put it in your signature imo.

PS - You can't beat my brain coupled with Galaxy Note 2 multitasking :)

Edit...Well at least not until Google introduces the same thing for Key Lime Pie

It won't matter if they're Plate or PCB mount, assuming you buy a plate :)

Just check the bottom for the little plastic pins to see!

Not sure if they're "in the mail" or if they "came in the mail today".

Explain to me exactly how MX Dark Greys are considered ergonomic, with those heavy springs. Or you just like to have contradictory things together? ;D

You must be awesome at SMD soldering! Do you have an oven for it or something?
