Where to buy MX Brown switches
« on: Wed, 28 August 2013, 03:25:44 »
I don't know if this is the right place to post, but I'm trying to buy about 80 Cherry MX Brown (PCB-mount) switches. The only place I've found them for sale is WASD keyboards, but they're a bit pricey (at $1.75)/switch. Does anyone know where to get them cheaper, preferably around $0.75/switch (or cheaper of course). Thanks!

You can also try harvesting them from another keyboard that has MX Browns. But 7bit's buy might be the best source right now, besides getting lucky in the Classifieds, because Browns are a bit hard to get at the moment. Logitech bought up most of the stock of Browns that Cherry made in order to sell their G710+ keyboard which only comes in Browns.

Search in the classifieds.  I bought mine from The_Ed who was harvesting from POS boards so you might try PM'ing him.
