I  am looking for a broken keyboard that I can harvest some cherry mx blue switches ( plate or pcb mounted, doesn't matter ), or purchase about ~75-100 used or new switches (shipped to conus ). I can purchase right now a BNIB keyboard and harvest the switches for $.45 per switch, so I am trying to see if anyone maybe has a broken board they want to get rid of before i purchase a new board and cannibalize it. let me know what you have.

Just curious, what NIB keyboard with switches can be bought for $45 or lower? I might be interested in it to harvest switches if you don't buy it.

Too bad the blacks are still $95 per board, only the blues are $45 :(

Np, I figured maybe someone has a broken board sitting around that they want to sell, if not I will purchase that one.

No, not really. I was just saying that only the boards with blues are cheap. The ones with reds and blacks are pretty expensive comparatively

I just purchased the new keyboard from monorprice since I located a 10% off discount making the switches only $.40 but will still consider buying someone's broken keyboard with blue switches.

Damn you, East Coast USA :D
I could desolder them first, so it would be a rather small bubble mailer (were they called like this?) instead of a 30$ package or something. But honestly, I don't think this will be worth it for me, maybe I can sell them somewhere here, would be a lot better.

What are you wanting them for?  Phantom or something?  Anything DIY I'd say it's worth it for cheap switches and the soldering experience.

Hey Thechemist, I'm new here, but I'm totally willing to sell you my Razer Blackwidow Ultimate once I fix my Storm Trigger. Also, I see you live on the East Coast, so do I, so shipping shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

PM me if you're interested!

I did, it says you want blue switches.  That's it, I was merely showing interest in what you were going to do with them as I like to see what projects people are working on.
