Received some MX white switches from MrInterface (SirClickAlot on GH).  They are clicky like blues, but heavier.  Will probably replace one of the blue switches on each tester with a white.

Oh man i am so interested in this! But i don't think i can be patient enough to wait :( i am selling my das keyboard soon and really want to get a CM quickfire rapid with reds but it would be nice to try out all the switches so i can make a (hopefully) final decision on what switch i want to stick with. I would have to go even longer without a mechanical keyboard and i don't know if i can do that lol. But add me to the list anyways! Grove City, PA

Would there be any chance of the Mx tester getting fitted with ghetto greens?

There's not really much room for anything else.  If you have a suggestion for a new layout, I'm open to it though.

Ok everyone, sorry for the lengthy delays.  I've just PMd around 30 of you re participation in round 2.  I suspect some of those I PMd will not be interested anymore, so if you didn't get a PM there is still a chance.

I'll post the routes once I receive everyone's addresses.

Glad to get the next round started. I responded to the PM. I am just starting to look into buying another mechanical, so it would be perfect timing as I have been wanting to test out some more switch types!

Since this thread has gotten huge, would it be better to start a new thread for the Spring 2012 Tour?
Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”

Yes, I think it would.  I'll start a new thread when I have the addresses and routes finalized.

I sent out for addresses a while ago, so I just have to figure out the route and give litster the first address.  I'll do that tonight.

Ok only six Canadians responded to my address request.  I sorted them west to east since Litster is in Washington.  Three of you guys are in Toronto, so this should go pretty quick.

I'm interested -- Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA

As for how interested?  I've only ever gotten to try Blue, Red, and Black Cherry MX switches... and I had to take time out of a Skiing Vacation in Colorado to find a MicroCenter in Denver to do that.  From what I can tell no one remotely close to here sells mechanicals apart from maybe a Razer at a Best Buy in another town.

I expect it'll be a while (if ever), but looking forward to it.  Brilliant idea dude!

Thanks.  A few of the second round people haven't responded with their addresses, so I'm going to send out another round of PMs to fill their spots.  You might get in. :)

I (finally!) have all three testers modded and ready to go.  They should ship out early this week.  Look for a new thread to track progress.

You won't make round 2, but I'll put you on the list.

Speaking of round 2, THE TESTERS HAVE SHIPPED!  I PMd tracking info to the initial recipients and will put up a new thread in a bit.
