They are faux ISO, ANSI legends with ISO enter key. ANSI one has USB.


Sixty, would you happen to know the product number for the ANSI 8113? Better yet, does anyone know where to get them?

You need MOOGLEBLACK from the doubleshot group order!


SP double shots are crap, unless I'm buying a novelty set I wouldn't want them.

Received mine today.
Shipping took about 4 business days to Toronto.

Musky smell indeed; LOL.

MX Clears feel uh... I need more time to tell.
White on black doubleshots are nicer than I thought!

I'd love to have your more formed opinion on clears.  Post back when you can.

I've got the same board. The biggest difference from other switches is the force required. It makes bottoming out hard, which is fine by me. I can type fairly quickly on these, since there's a tactile bump that's pretty noticeable. Sound is about equal to browns. Overall I'd say they're my favorite, but I can see why others don't like them. Coming from blues, the force required to press the keys was something I had to get used to.

I go from Topre variable to Buckling Spring on a daily basis, so adjusting to the Clears was easy.

Tend to bottom out on all my keyboards when I type, but the tendency is reduced with MX Clears.
Tactile bump is much more pronounced than Browns and after the bump, it sort of cushions and pushes my fingers back up.
Force required is light before tactile bump, but after, it increases quite a bit.
Hard to describe, but I can somewhat relate it to Topre 55g, definitely not as smooth.

Just bought the keyboard for keycaps and Clear switches... for future modding plans.
I don`t even own a Cherry MX keyboard -___-

I should mention, the build quality is pretty damn cheap.
Light as a feather.
Flexing everywhere.

Basically all Cherry boards are like that. My 3494 flexes a ton, but my 11900 doesn't flex as much.
My 8113 came in a few days ago, but I Just got in last night so I haven't had time to tinker with the board yet.

So if you need a new controller board and tracing to make a board NKRO, what are people using the bottoms of these switches for?

Thanks for the response.  I use MX Browns about 90% of the time and a modified Fukka board for the rest.

Clears appeal to me as a higher weight Brown.

Well I got one of these KB's from Ynih (thanks man) with cherry clears.

I love the doubleshots (They are going onto my noopoo keyboard) but the cherry clears I can live without.  Tactile point is difficult to feel since it's so gradual, and heavy springs aren't for me.

Mine arrived to my house in AL but I'm currently in CN.  Had someone confirm for me that it is clears with doubleshot keys, just like I asked.  In the pic they sent there was some cat hair around the switch though. :fear:

Is anyone willing to part with their grey space bar key switch? I'm swapping the clears from this keyboard into two separate tenkeyless boards, but I'm short a grey switch.

Use one of the extra clears for the space bar instead, if you have enough. It feels much better.

You could transfer the switches to a board with a metal plate.

Lootbag, you said that you're in Canada? How much did you pay for shipping?
Hmph, all you guys want to try Clears, I can't wait to get my hands on some browns! Hope the seller actually has some boards with browns.

I originally have been using a dell AT101W, however with the transition to these clear switches i don't find the tactile and clickiness of the board that nice. I dont mind i but it does take more force for me to depress the keys.

You dont need to bottom out to activate the switches like the black alps due but i find the key travel to exhibit a bit of a frictiony/ squishy feel as i depress key. It was not what i expected, not a clean  somewhat linear feel with a tactile bump.

Hope this helps those who are on the fence purchasing this.

Anyways i ended up messing up my keycaps so i am selling the switches and keycaps (the ones that are not messed up that is).

I found that lubing the key switches greatly reduces the friction / scratchiness of the keys, but that can be a lot of effort as it requires opening all key switches.

Have you applied stickers to prevent the switch from dust?

No, I'm hoping that dust doesn't become a problem. I used a dry lube, which in my limited understanding does not attract dust. But time will tell.

I brushed lube onto the "bump" part of the key stems (the part that rubs against and displaces the metal switch plate). I also lubed the springs entirely, since I read somewhere that it was sometimes done, but not sure how much of a difference lubing the springs made.

So when people are getting this for the doubleshots, what about things like the enter key? It looks like an iso enter key, so its not like you can put it on whatever board the rest of the keycaps are going onto.

You typically need to buy two donor boards to get most of the set. Check out the Anti-Otaku thread for more info.

In regarding to the seller linked in the OP, he said the boards are cleaned before shipping. But mine didn't come cleaned, it had some baked on finger mush on home row. But as i dissected the board itself it was filled with dust bunnies. So buyers do expect to do some cleaning. The PCB can get sticky due to it is exposed from the small gaps in between the keycaps.
