What, exactly are the Cherry actuation / bottom weights?
« on: Wed, 08 April 2020, 19:45:46 »
I'm looking to get a better handle on the springs that go into Ergo Clears.

I know that MX Brown is one of the classic springs that went into those early Ergos. What I lack is an exact understanding of how those Cherry 'light' springs relate to the modern springs such as TX and Spirit.

People like to use springs that bottom-out at 63.5 and 65 gr for their Ergo Clears. Some people use gold-plated springs that actuate at 60 gr and bottom-out around 65-70 gr. Etc.

What I would like to know is exactly what are the actuation weights, tactile event weights, and bottom-out weights for the Cherry 'light' switches, such as MX Brown and MX Blue? In the modern system of measuring spring weights, where does MX Brown actuate, and then bottom-out? And perhaps the MX Clear, for comparison purposes.

Thanks! Didn't trouble myself to do a search in German!
