correct, those are whites (milk) which are clicky and are 80g (i have them)

there are a few places with MX1A-C1NW (Clears with the PCB pins) but if the shipping is cheap for this then this may be the way to go, not what Sager or Allied shipping costs are.

Maybe I'm blind but I couldn't find the USA as a shipping option when trying to checkout....I think I do want some white switches to try.....

The whites? Pretty sure there isn't or more people would be on it. i thought this GB was about clears? lol

It is and I wanted some plate mount clears so I can save my pcb mount clears for another project in the future....but I'd also like to find whites and someone else asked about whites above and it just kind of went downhill from there.....

Also pexon says this GB may not make it after all....

oh sorry to hear that, people in Europe would actually benefit from this i think based on shipping, at least from what i've seen searching the webs.

Sager has like 15k PCB-pin clears in stock, you can use flush cutters to take the pins off. Not sure what the shipping cost would be.

I've got plenty of clear pcb switches I just keep telling myself I'll need pcb switches one day so why not just try and get plate mount for my phantom build  :p ....I know it sounds goofy to most people probably

In case it does run I am in for 90. Good price compared to WASD or thekeyboardcompany.

Closed due to lack of interest and not meeting MOQ

How did this not meet MOQ? I thought clears were in high demand.

Not enough people interested in modding MX Clears themselves, I'm guessing.  And those who do may have already gotten those switches or have signed up to get them elsewhere.

I thought this would fill out too, I dropped the price after talking to the supplier, but seems as though the price was not low enough. I was more than willing to spring swap, sticker and lube switches too, but ne'er mind!  ;)

Too bad, I was hoping that this would gather more momentum too.

Started another attempt here. Have my doubts but I feel like there must have been at least 500 pieces here.
