Durock springs, are they worth a buy?
« on: Sun, 11 October 2020, 05:37:58 »
Been away for some time, and for my new board all the Sprit springs I used to buy (62g) are out of stocks. How are Durock's gold springs compared to the Sprit? Same ? Is it worth a buy?

I haven't tried any of their aftermarket packaged springs, but I did roll with the 62g Durock factory springs in my Alpacas & would say they are just as good as spirit 62g supreme (his regular linearly weighted springs) springs IMHO. As long as you're not looking for something with a different feel like progressive or slow curved I think the 62g Durock springs would be fine to go with.

As long as the "62g" is measured at the same deflection and the length is the same, there should be no difference in the springs.

Bumping this if anyone else cares to share opinions on Durock vs Sprit. Thanks.

I've tried durock stock springs (which I believe are the same as the one they sell) and in my experience I don't really like then, I felt the consistency of the springs was really bad (as bad as other stock springs) and they had some issues with ping and crunch, I'd recommend tx springs, They have the consistency that I look for, they minimize crunch and ping while also being half of the price, but there are many other options nowadays.

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.
