Best Springs For Spring Swap?
« on: Fri, 15 November 2019, 10:30:02 »
I am going to be using either gat ink blacks or c3 tangerines and am wondering what spring would be best to swap out for a low 70gf bottom out weight.

Springs are subjective, there is no "better" spring, only the one who's rate/curve you like best.

I really like TX's springs & spring lube. They're high quality, consistent, & a great value with or without the lube & lube deck packaging. If you want them right now though you'll have to order from the intl. proxy since the US one only has 55g springs without the lube + deck in stock right now. https://txkeyboards.com/en/shop/us-store/tx-spring-intl-70g-cherry-detail

For most people, Gateron yellow springs, 62g, 63.5, and 67g seem to be good

My Zealios switches are 65G and they are NEAR PERFECT to fidget with.
Just my thoughts

I think, but 65G is good enough for me. Not too heavy and not too light.

I have not used Ink switches so I can't compare,
but I'm using 65g SPRiT springs and so far I don't want to change springs anymore :p

And, it seems people like 65g springs as well. I'm thinking of getting 65g springs for my vintage MX black switches.
