Tactile Switches
« on: Sun, 16 August 2020, 12:53:24 »
Hello. I’m trying to find tactile switches in between 2.40$ - 7$ for 10. Please comment if you have any suggestions and I am willing to combine 2 switches

Those are rather specific prices...
While out of stock, novelkeys has a ton you can look through, often with springs rates and other info.

A lot of switches are difficult to get right now so your options also may be limited. Chinese sellers are saying early November for purchases at this point but I suspect reality will be closer to December.

Bang for the buck, if you have switch lube (Krytox/Finish line) and don't mind the hassle, Kailh Pro Purple are quite good, but they absolutely must be lubed. Once lubed I'd say they rival 62g Zealios V2 (without being lubed), maybe not exact but darn close. However, if you don't have lube then you need to include that in the cost, and while still a lot cheaper than Zeal there's a lot of other choices in between. Unfortunately like a lot of switches, they too are hard to get right now.

Holy Chickies are pretty snappy. They like to snap back up too, so very responsive.

Lol this is literally my exact comment in another thread. You first comment here is a copy paste from someone else? I smell a bot.

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.

lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.

bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.

gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.

stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.

stock, needs a cleaning and probably replacement foam. Do plan to change layout so it has split bs and rs, as well as ansi enter.

Built with new nixies on pc half plate. Love this board already, probably the best looking board I own, those brass accents are so mint. Really like it as is, but I do want to try an alu build (probably with nixies as well) just to experiment with that.
