Cherry Numpad Switch Tester

Looking for Clear Stems I was hoping that since you made this you would have some extras.

Yes, I do have a lot of clear switches.  but I am keeping them for modding later.  Or use them to make ergo clear for one of my Phantoms.  You can get cheap used clear switches from Cherry POS keyboards on ebay.  Or you can order new clear switches from the Phantom group buy (you know that already :smile:).

I got my from rawko who sold a lot of Cherry G80 POS keyboards with credit card reader.  At one point in the summer, rawko was selling beige color POS keyboards with either clear switches or brown switches for about $15 to $20 each plus shipping, IIRC.  You can't tell what switches a keyboard has from its model number.  A lot of buyers asked him, so at one point he listed them as "white" switch Cherry POS keyboards and "brown" Cherry POS keyboards separately.  That was when you couldn't buy new keyboard with clear or clear switches at all.  Now you can buy clear leopold and order clear switches from the Phantom group buy.  

I just looked on ebay.  Currently there are only 2 beige color Cherry POS keyboards and they are very expensive (one is new and there other looks like crap).  I would get new switches from the Phantom group buy instead.

I already have new housings on the way for cheap and some used Blue Springs. I would love new everything but it would cost a fortune just for switches. And I would like to have my switch sooner than when the group buys switches are going out.

Have you posted a WTB in the classifieds?  Ascaii sold a stripped-down PCB with blue switches to someone for a very reasonable price recently.  You could also post on Deskthority, since I think clears are more common in Europe than they are in the US.
