It's a Chinese site, who knows what standard they've used (and what the tolerances are like). It's most likely that they're to bottom out like the Korean ones, but you never know unless they specify it. Better to get from a more trusted source like Zeal or Sprit.

For instance, the ones that were up on Massdrop recently were in "Cherry" measurements, measured to actuation instead of to bottom out like Korean ones.

but I must have them.

Is Sprit still a 'trusted source' here? There seem to be some long multi-year dramas in his buys- have they finally been resolved?

Not trying to stir things up, just wanting the OP to enter any of those buys with his eyes open.

Zeal on the other hand is fantastic, but I last time I checked he wasn't carrying springs apart from those that came with the Zelio switches.

Stay away from SPRiT if you want it soon.

Not if you want to get anything anytime soon

Sprit will mail you your order if you are vigilant about it.

I got mine without any drama, but I literally sent emails constantly to confirm stock, before placing my order.

As long as you're within the PayPal chargeback period, you are golden. That said, it isn't fun to do so, but had to be done.
