Its more the bump on the way up that bothers me on ergoclears. But I'll still probably try it anyway, once kbdmod restocks the 45gs. If all things fail, super light browns!
@raspiguy, sorry I missed your post the first time. lack of coffee.
I agree about the springs labelling getting confusing at a certain point, but Jocelyn's posting of the pic from Furuya cleared it up pretty well.
To make things clear - pun unintended - all springs I'll be referring to would be korean springs based on bottom out (largely because the stock mx springs are already 'well documented', so to speak).
Calculating actuation is a iffy way to go about it, as the tactile bumps on mx stems does add force required to actuation (compared to linear stems). Actuation force with a clear stem would differ from that with a red stem. But in the contained topic that is ergoclears alone, I am thankful that someone (Jocelyn) took the trouble to measure actuation. Though I'd stick to the bottom out measurements in the picture for reference.
When I say 45g, I mean the 45gs in the picture, from korea. Not the cherry mx 45g springs, or any other variant.
The 45gs I'm planning on getting would be via a proxy, though it should be mentioned that kbdmod themselves doesn't have stock for these as of now. I notice originative has these in stock, so if you're interested, you could probably get it from there.
@Jocelyn - any chance of some nickel tests with the 45g springs?
There's some hearsay that it actuates at 30g, if true, it would make for a very nice light touch switch.
