67g Korean Springs?
« on: Mon, 18 March 2013, 23:23:18 »
I've been searching for some Korean springs since Sherryton has gone silent on me about 65g springs and I stumbled across this thread at KBDMania: http://www.kbdmania.net/xe/index.php?mid=purchase&document_srl=6027801&6027801_cpage=1

If I'm reading that correctly, they were testing out some 67g springs.  Has anyone actually gotten their hands on 67g springs?

Little self bump.

Are these 67g springs a real thing or are they something that we won't ever really see?

I've personally never seen them in use. Highest is 65g, and if someone wants a tad stiffer, it's usually vintage blacks.

Bro Caps offered me some 80g springs.  Haven't seen them yet, so I can't confirm they're really that heavy.   :(

Question is whether one could really tell the difference between 65 and 67. :P

Aren't springs in MX Black basically 80g? I'd appreciate something like 70g.

I thought vintage blacks springs were lighter than modern blacks.

I'm waiting to test the 63.75g springs.  I don't know how anyone could stand to use anything else

Ah, you obviously haven't tried the 61.275g springs! Simply the best!

Has anyone posted weighting on Vintage Blacks? I'm normally pretty good about numbers, but don't remember anything about them other than "lighter than modern Black, but heavier than Red".

60~63 actuation force... That's about the same as what's been recorded for modern Blacks iirc.

Could it be that they use a different spring design? That would account for a lighter feel for the first 2mm travel.
