I believe the dark grey are linear, whereas light grey are tactile.

ROFL! So how much are these going to cost pexon?

Edit - Halverson, Gray tactile switches may be a lighter gray, but MX Gray always means tactile. You should really add Dark to the title pexon. It'll cause less confusion imo

Saviant · « **Reply #7 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 03:32:22 »

I am interested depending on what price they are going for.

pexon · « **Reply #8 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 07:42:42 »

Whats a fair price in your guys eyes?

llovro · « **Reply #9 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 07:54:15 »

Can anyone tell me the difference between light gray and clear switches? Except that light gray switches are stiffer....

Look at the difference between the Clear stem and the Red/Black stem. Light Grey switches are VERY Tactile and Dark Grey switches aren't tactile at all.

EDIT: To be clear, Light Grey switches have identical stems to Clear switches, and Dark Grey switches have identical stems to Black or Red switches, just varying in the color.

There is no difference between them except for the Light Greys being stiffer, which is because of different springs. Well, that and the color, but being as we call them by that, I think you have that down.

Tarzan · « **Reply #12 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 08:20:52 »

Mark me down as interested.

pexon · « **Reply #13 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 09:23:51 »

Right, I will sort an Google Docs form out after, I have some soldering to do first.

Still need to work out a price, of what you guys think is fair.

inlikeflynn · « **Reply #14 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 09:30:30 »

in for 110

mashby · « **Reply #15 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 09:36:24 »

Are these new switches? Used working pulls?

Dubsgalore · « **Reply #17 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 10:16:52 »

interested as well, depending on price for ~65

pexon · « **Reply #18 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 10:44:38 »

These are brand new switches, yes.

Michael · « **Reply #19 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 10:45:40 »

I might be interested if the price is right.

Plate mount or PCB mount?

Halverson · « **Reply #21 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 11:11:55 »

I think a good price would be if they were cheaper than pre-order prices from 7bits MX buy.

pexon · « **Reply #22 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 11:41:10 »

Plate mount. What does 7bit sell em for?

Halverson · « **Reply #23 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 11:42:56 »

I think they're .54 euro, so about .70 USD

jdcarpe · « **Reply #24 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 11:45:37 »

Halverson is correct. 7bit's pre-order prices are:

Code: [Select]

MXDARKGREYP   |  0.54|EUR|MX1A-21NN

Shipping is 4 EUR no matter how many switches you order!

Dubsgalore · « **Reply #25 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 12:39:24 »

i might get some then

pexon · « **Reply #31 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 14:03:06 »

Yup, I'll see if I can hit below 60c per switch.

Do you d00dz get Maoam? They come in packs of 5, I can get sweet or sour ones, I will throw in a few packs with each delivery, like I do with my cables etc.

If you want, 'British' sweets, I can get some Irn-Bru chew bars or something, they are good

inlikeflynn · « **Reply #35 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 14:08:43 »

I will take the 110 I expressed interest in earlier at the 70cents or less price

esoomenona · « **Reply #36 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 14:09:12 »

What are they? I love sour. And sweet.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #37 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 14:10:20 »

I will also commit to 110 switches.

pexon · « **Reply #38 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 14:12:46 »

Right, I will get the form up tonight, dependent on the beer situation, there may be beveraging, if not, it will be tomorrow.

Tactile means you feel a bump (Think Browns), linear means you feel nothing (Think Reds/Blacks)
