45g (- 40g?) Korean springs with lube on linear switch
« on: Thu, 20 December 2012, 08:54:42 »
How are they? Are they an extreme or actually a viable option? I'm getting my MX Red board soon and I'm pretty pumped. I hate any force on my keys. I'm a gamer and a very lazy typist.

Mostly we discuss force in terms of how hard you have to press down to activate the switch, but somewhere there is a tipping point where the stiffer spring provides a more powerful upward recoil for a faster reset.

Perhaps that is why the heavy blacks are so popular with gamers.

I thought Red's were the most popular for gamers, if I'm not mistaken?

Donno, haven't tried them yet.  Cherry Reds are light enough for me as is.

  If u get ur Cherry Reds lubed that allegedly takes 5g off and makes it buttery smoooth.   I will have my lubed cherry reds in a couple of weeks and can tell u how they feel compared to my nonlubed cherry reds.  I live for Keyboard Science!(tm)

My faves are reds. I love to type on them, more than gaming.

Korean 45s are like cherry 30s right? it is somewhat lighter?

I love the light switches.

Unlubed Cherry Reds are plenty stiff enough to hold up my fingers so I never actuate keys accidentally.

However I have my doubts about those light Korean springs with Lube.  The activation point might be at 30g with only 15g of force at the top.

I would buy the korean springs and try them out.... but I don't feel any need to atm.  I am already typing way to hard on my cherry reds as is.  My hands are used to 60g Cherry Blacks and 60-100g rubberdomes.  I keep banging the keys down into the steel plate.  Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!  :eek:

Has anyone here actually tried 45g springs (which would be 15 lighter than stock red/browns) ?
Anyway, I'm anxious to get some.

The link wasn't broken when I put it in. Google cached results show that thread existed, with title "Temporary Store" (for Originative.com). It was under the Originative subforum in the Marketplace section, and in it Sherryton said he could get those springs.
