Black springs in a Blue Switch?
« on: Sat, 07 January 2012, 05:54:34 »
Has anyone tried to put stiffer springs into a blue switch?
I wonder why cherry has no clicky switch with a black/clear spring.

I want to but sadly I have yet to find Blue stems for sale. I'd like to know as well.

Ill have a ton after i make the ergo clears for my dox and phantom. Iwas thinking of making a switch test keyboard with every common spring with every common stem so ill need some but the rest are up for grabs.

IIRC, they feel like Black ALPS to me. I did this last night and it did not make a very strong impression. Strangely, they don't feel like Greens in spacebars either, which makes me wonder if it's just the particular switch I used.

Oh yea, green switches. Are they any good to use for a full board?

i have vintage blue stems with black spings in one board that i dont use. In my opinion not a very good thing to do as the dump becoms very small to almost not noticeable as the force of the black spring is so high.
