MX locks

[Quardah]

Hello!

Where can i buy a 5-pack of Cherry MX locks, for modding (Both PCB and Plate mount would be best)

Thanks.

The last time i saw 7bit over at desktority was running a gb for mx lock but I think that fell through.

Yeah i remember about 7bit but the guy would take 3 months to ship 9 switches.

He's nice but if i can't get a workarround i would do, because i'm not willing to wait until september to get 5 MX that i cannot do without.

If there would be some sort of site like in here : http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?pg=1&l=search_list&s[search]=&s[title]=Y&s[short_desc]=Y&s[full_desc]=Y&s[sku]=Y&s[match]=all&s[cid]=43 Where they sell 5-packs, would be the best.

Thanks again for the fast reply, always appreciated.

Don't think they're readily available. I guess if there is, it's probably very expensive as well.

The GB isnt closed as far as I know. A friend has ordered some from this groupbuy(it is from 7bit as mentioned):

This is a preorder. The reason mx lock is not widely available is that mx lock is produced on demand from cherry with a moq of 4000. Last batch was 3 years ago according to cherry. 7bit tries to get people to do a groupbuy so that he can afford to purchase 4000 mx switches.

You can preorder then from 7bit. Maybe host your own interest check here and try hosting your own gb from him? I would join lol

Imma order from the guy but it's a shame i'll have to wait the entire summer to recieve my stuff.

I'm really going to be annoying the **** out of him this time tough. Don't want to be annoying but i guess that's all i can do to get my stuff posted.

I'd say you'll be waiting until they actually get 4000 orders in and then wait for delivery etc.

I know, it's classic. The more a single individual serves stuff on the internet, the slower he gets.

Kinda lame tough. Why don't you deal switches, Ray?

I did a mx lock group buy a while back but the place only had ~40 ish of them.

What is the use of the switch though? I mean I get that it's a cool thing from a mechanical point of view but what kind of switch would you use this for. CapsLOCK?

Fn lock. Numpad layer lock. Shift lock.

It would great as a FN lock where you can press it down it locks then your FN layer is always on then when you want it off you press it again.

EDIT: my internet lagged really bad...geez  )

This is what i'm trying to do but with the PN layer as well (Poker II Programable layer) and the Win key aslo since there's only a single one on a 60%.

Fair enough. GH to the rescue with an answer.

You could always make a WTB... and just accept you may need to buy X switches from X people to get them sooner. I have a feeling there are some people that have them and don't really know what to do with them.
