Cherry MX Brown SWITCHES.
« on: Thu, 06 October 2011, 07:14:52 »
Hey,
Title tells everything. I'm also interested in buying only the springs and the brown parts.
I need 105-110 piece, as I want to replace every cherry mx blacks to browns in my filco majestouch.

It should be less costly to buy a Filco w/ browns and sell your old KB.  If you're worried about resale value you could offer to swap the new caps and new case onto your blacks.

This.  You could harvest switches from an old board, but it depends on how much you value your time.  I'm a busy guy.  The price of a new keyboard is much less than my time.  That, and unless someone is sitting on a pile of old browns, you might find the switches are just as much as a new keyboard, especially if they're new.

I actually have near-new brown sliders harvested from a Filco, but I may have lost one or two.  I think the springs are already spoken for however.

Thanks everybody.
I have changed my mind. When my board arrived a year ago, I didn't really liked the blacks, and thought browns would fit for me better.
This thought posessed me as I made this thread, but now I realized that I love blacks! ( OH I MEAN BLACK SWITCHES!!! )
Sometimes before I power on, I'm just pressing the keys randomly, enjoying my filco.
And this is - my friend - love!

(However, I  started to get sick of the plastic feeling, so I decided to fabricate wooden keys for the whole board!)

PS: my english is still pretty bad :(
