where to buy springs?
« on: Wed, 04 September 2013, 09:53:20 »
Hi everyone

So I have a QFR in blues laying around, and I love the idea of green switches

obviously you need to swap the springs to get greens, but I don't know of the best place to buy springs and how much $ it would cost to convert a TKL to GG's

If whiskytango still has his Black switches for sale, you can grab those. I think nubbinator had some cheap Blacks as well. Both whiskytango and nubbinator were selling Blacks for around $.20-.25/switch. You can also try Sherryton/Originative for Korean weighted custom springs like 65g if you don't want a true "Ghetto Green".

Well, really since a QFR in greens can be had for about $20 more than the blue version, if springs are cheap, i'll convert it, if not i would just sell and buy a green board.

( or buy a cheap black board and convert the blues to greens and the blacks to reds )

I did try to find a spring off a clicky pen that would work so i could see what a heavier spring would feel like in a blue but couldn't find one that fit.

Huh? I just told you where you could find pricing right? Just do the math yourself and figure out if its worth it to you. ^__^

I have some clear springs for sale if you want to try those in there.  Not sure what the force is compared to greens.
Wish I had some gif or quote for this space, but I got nothing
