Where can I get Gateron switches for testing?
« on: Wed, 24 August 2016, 13:18:51 »
Hi,

I would like to get a few variants of Gateron switches (Blue, Black, Browns).
I just want like 2 (loose) switches of each (For testing), do you know where would be the cheapest to purchase?

Does mechanicalkeyboards.com still sell 5 packs of switches?

It seems they only sell 10 packs (of a single color),
I can order them from some chinese website for about 7$ a piece - (a total of 21 dollars...) I can get CHERRY switches for testing for WAY less, so I kind of don't understand why the Gateron switches are so expensive (for a singular switch purchase)...
