for browns or clears try "rawko" on eBay... doubt anyone is going to sell one for less.

I've got one with browns that is mostly put back together (was using it as a switch try board, but I still have one with clears) if you want it.  Also have another board that I gutted the clears and keycaps out of that has a touchpad, I'd throw it in the box as well.  But I'd have to ask more than "rawko" for the board because I initially bought it from him and then thoroughly cleaned it and made it nice (and lubed the sliders as well, since I had them out to try the ergo clears.)

Wow N8N, that is really exactly what I was going to do. Except try to find some blacks to make a ghetto red. I am in the process right now of tearing down a brown from rawko. How do you like the ergo clears? What did you use for lube?

Yup, What did you use for lube? I'm curious about that.

I liked the ergos better than browns but not as well as straight up clears.  What I used for lube was some DuPont aerosol stuff - "Teflon Dry Wax Lube" or something like that.  I threw all the sliders in a pill bottle, sprayed some loob in, and swirled them around for a while, then dumped them out to dry on a paper towel.  Then when I assembled the switches (I did this to the clears as well) I wiped the tops of the stems with alcohol before putting the keycaps back on.  So the whole slider got lubed not just the tactile bit.  I don't know if it's the BEST lube for the job or whether it will hold up long term, but the keyboard I'm typing on feels better now than it did with browns in terms of friction.

My other thought was to use Sil-Glyde but I didn't try that.

Ok awesome, thanks alot. Is tactility of the clears the reason you like them over the browns?

yes, the clear sliders are more tactile than browns, but also I like the heavier springs in the clears because it keeps me from bottoming out - I have to concentrate on browns to not bottom out on every single keystroke and even then I usually fail when typing fast.
