WTT black switches or similar ( clears, ghetto reds ? )
« on: Wed, 20 March 2013, 14:03:14 »
hi, i am going to get my poker pcb soon, and i think of putting some blacks onto it. i loved my razer with blues but the backlight was quite useless and the blues too loud. i guess by my readings that blue are almost as hard to press as blues but they are quieter. ( about ghetto reds i don't really know where to situate them, same for ergo clears.

now i am willing to trade a bunch of blue switches ( a little under 110 as i broke one while desoldering, and offered one or two to curious friends at school) for the same amount of black switches ( or similar )

Pm me or post here, as you want :) !

and feel free to correct me if you see that i'm wrong about ghetto reds or similar )

Ghetto reds are just black stems with red/blue/brown springs. A few months to a year ago, reds were hard to come by and were in great demand due to them being the "gaming" switch. So it was sometimes easier to find blacks (same thing as a red, but just a different color) and put red/blue/brown springs in them to make a red switch with a black stem (ie ghetto)

Ergo clears are the same idea, clear stems and a red/blue/brown spring
