Where can I buy authentic Cheery MX switches down Australia?

Looking for some Cheery MX Blue (80pcs), White(10pcs) and Green(10pcs) switches.

At the moment, I can only find them on eBay, but are from HK or China, which seems to be a bit expensive if buy these in bulk.

I found there are some cheaper ones on Taobao, but the seller doesn't do international shipping.

Any chance I can buy some switches locally?

Thanks!

I haven't seen anywhere selling MX switches down here

You'd be hard pressed to find anything with MX green of clear locally, either (although PCCG did have QFS with MX green for a fww weeks).

Best bet is to find a Taobao proxy e.g. qtan.

thanks rowdy,

it seems Taobao is the only option to get some rare switches.

You can also use mechanicalkeyboards.com

Shipping is $15USD for 100 switches though. Rare switches like clear or green are very expensive on Tao Bao. 6-8RMB each, which is $1.05-$1.25 AUD each + proxy fees + shipping.

You can get a very limited range of MX switches (mostly a couple variations on blacks) from www.element14.com.  Just search for MX1 and they'll come up. I considered trying to get something together where if enough of us nag them they might stock some of the other types, perhaps..

You're right twiddle, the mx black switches are pretty cheap on element14.
