Confused with the korean spring weights...

[hKing]

Hello there,
I am currently planning my next build.

I want to tune my vintage blacks with some korean springs as I tend towards heavier switches. MX Browns for me are like MX Reds to others:

/no real "feeling" for the switch
/bottom-out every key
/relatively more typos (compared to my 67gr Zealios)

So I came across those korean custom springs you can buy. My problem is that I don't know which spring weight I should get. I thought of buying 67gr as those are in my Zealios - I like them.
Then I came across this thread on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/452u1w/buying_120x_custom_cherry_mx_springs_3pack_on/, specifically a post from a guy called "ripster55" (scroll down a bit).

So I am very confused now of what spring I should buy.

I need some springs, heavier (!) than stock MX Browns, something close around stock MX Clears - maybe a bit less.
What spring weight would that be?

According to his thread here on GH (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46449.0), 67 gr Zealios should be somewhat close to stock MX Clears, right?

Thanks in advance for helping me out!

Not sure if troll, ripster shill incarnate pls go

Korean springs are usually measured until the actuation force whereas western keyboard communities measure until bottom out iirc

Other way around. Koreans measure spring weight by bottom out typically, which is how Zeal states his Zealios too.

Most NA/European literature will mention actuation force primarily.

Thanks for your input, but that doesn't help me...

MX Browns to MX Clears is a pretty significant gap. 67g Zealios are not suppose to feel close to MX Clears, they are suppose to feel like ergo-clears. Ergo-Clears originally started out taking a MX Brown spring and putting it into a MX Clear housing. It is all opinionated on which one feels better but generally 62g-67g is good weights for ergo-clears.

So saying you want something between MX Browns and MX Clears leaves you with a pretty wide margin. MX Clears bottom out ~95cN whereas Browns bottom out ~60cN.

We can't really decide for you on what feels best. Everything about keyboards is opinionated. Springs are pretty cheap so why not just buy a few weights and pop them into your MX Blacks and see which one you like better.

The only place right now where I can buy different springs is mechanicalkeyboards.com. The shipping price is insane, 30 USD for a pack of springs to Germany.
But they only have stock for 68 gr, 67 gr is out of stock.

The rest of the shops are pretty much out of stock.

I already talked to Zeal, he doesn't restock his springs.
Sprit won't answer my PMs, but it seems that I am not the only one in this case.
Winkeyless / KBDmod / GON have stock, but only up to 62 gr because Koreans don't like heavy switches (afaik)
Originative is out of stock.

Are there other places?
