Wanted: Cherry MX Green and Grey switches
« on: Tue, 01 May 2012, 20:38:22 »
Hi, hoping to find at least two each of Cherry MX green and grey switches.

Anyone have a couple they can sell me? Need em for a project I'm trying to wrap up!

I know the DIY method but want the correct stem colors.

Thanks, Shawn

What is the DIY method? These coil springs are stiffer than black, are they not?
i have seen unix admins with john deere trucker hats, and even seen a man in a nascar shirt correct a passerby's klingon.

Yeah, the grey have stiffer spring for sure, not 100% sure about the green though. Real green and ghetto green feel same to me.

Yes, I was referring to the "Ghetto Green" DIY. Not sure how to make a DIY grey switch. Spring seems much longer than every other switch I have.

Oh I thought they both used the gray spring. Nevermind.
