[SPRiT] MX ALPS Springs/ LSS Lube/ Stabilizers/ Cherry RGB Clear (CLOSED!!!!!!!)

[sethk_]

So, I guess the new 62g spring is the new definitive spring.

This might be just what I need for my mx blue switches.

MX Blues w/ 62g gold springs are sooo nice, they feel smoother, and I put a 72g one in my spacebar, and it all around feels very fluid and comfortable to type on

[sprit]

The Latest  62g  v1.2 has just produced a week ago, evaluated as not bad.  It has exceptionally smooth surface, reinforced elasticity  (plus 20-30% than v1.1)   
So, it may need minimal lube, imo.

          

[MileyBIGBOY]

How much lubricant do you reckon i  would need to buy to do a TKL board, im just planning on doing 1 set of springs in my filco + pexon cable mod, stickers if i can get some while i'm at it. I prefer red over black switch but i'm hesitant messing around with soldering the filco over and over as a newbie

[sprit]

Ktytox pure oils have heavy density 1.8-1.9g/ml  at the room temperature.  Water is 1g/ml as we know.  Krytox oil 1g is roughly 0.8x 0.8x 0.8cm dimension, not small at all.
I prefer minimalist lube for the switches, springs and stabs for a TKL with 0.2 - 0.3g 
So I guess 1g will be quite enough for a board, in general.   But Tastes vary a lot,  IMHO.

Shiny gold goodies received--thank you, Sprit!!!

Very tempted for getting more gold springs, but shipping is a bit hefty.

Alright, I will reconsider it.

[zerowidth]

Received my springs in the mail today. Thank you for the speedy invoicing and shipping!

Now, to wait for the keyboard to put these in...

[ph3nomzlol]

sprit,

Are the stabs genuine Cherry stabs?  Even the gold ones?

Thanks!

(Ordered gold springs from you some time ago, and they are fantastic  )

[MarkRobbo]

These will come via an EU proxy if I order to the UK? That's important for me due to customs fees

[sprit]

Cherry genuine original Zinc plated stabs + my custom Gold plated wires
The result is so smooth surface, less friction and oxidation, not just bling bling, IMO

In for some 62g and lube, got a project planned

[naasfu]

Hey sprit, if I want to get stabs with gold wires, do I need to order these two items on your form?  The last item is just gold wires only, right?  Thanks

Cherry MX Stabilizers : 1 set (5pcs) = $8 (PCB mount type) *
(Cherry Original Zinc 4x 2u, Stainless 1x 6.25u, with all wires & plastic pcs) - (Comment for 7u wire!)

Hello!      Due to the complexity,
-   Normal stab set as independent, Many ppl want that.
-   The Wires Only as independent, many already got plastic parts, so they want wires only.


-   Added *  :  Stab Plastic parts  +  Gold Wires 1 set

Can we order gold wires + plastic bits as an option instead of only gold wires?  In my situation, I would need the plastic bits and would love to get the gold plated wires

Placed an order for some 62g gold springs, lube, and GOLD STABILIZERS!!!!!!

[sprit]

I have a person helping this springs GB, shipping out every 2-3 days.
So hope no serious delay 

[HTN47]

Paid the invoice! 
I'm so excited for those gold stabilizers, they look majestic

Thats why I chose the stabs and springs, they are like butter. Cherry stabs stock suck, and make green switches feel awful, so thats why I got the stabs, and I got the springs that best matched blue springs, because they are a lot smoother and I don't get the springy feel as much now.

That plate looks soo good 

A few days ago I received my springs and stab wires package but only now had some time to test the stab wires. My first impression, the surface is much more smoother than stock or stainless steel ones. The stabilized keys feel much better ballanced and the friction is close to zero with no lube. I have to test also some lube my guess is the feeling will be amazing. I will test some more  also with 7u wire.
So far I can say these are awesome, the small things that make a great typing experience. 
Great work

[sprit]

We need more Field reports on the the utility and comparison benefits of plated Stab wires.

When I put together the next keyboard (as soon as mk.com gets long-tail SIP sockets in stock), I'll try to report

I think it's basically just an interest check for if he should produce more springs, nothing special

[DanielT]

There is a difference, the IC is for v1.2. There have been some design and manufacture changes.

Based on the OP, the 62g's in this buy are also v1.2's. Right, SPRiT?

Hello!    I got my lunch and back.   
Yes,  current 62g are  all v1.2   (old versions are out)  but might need to produce 100 sets more in late May.  I'm Not Sure.
Have made the version notes in the form too.

[effectiveduck]

Will you be getting stock of the 72g standard springs any time soon?

Hello!   In the Next production batch, I will prepare 72g Standard too.   It might be in late summer I guess.

I'm new to the process of geekhack group buys, but I submitted an order form for 68g springs. Not sure if there is anything else I'm supposed to do.

Welcome! It's different for each group buy but in general you'll get a paypal invoice for the cost, then wait a while. Then get stuff.

sprit is generally fast with springs

[ideus]

Springs are in stock now; thus, this is not a GB anymore, but individual orders, that are being shipped FIFO, so the waiting time is short.

[sprit]

Status Update

-  The Springs are mostly leftovers from GB R2.   I got a people to pack and go to Post for shipping Springs only.
-  60g, 65g, 68g are  v1.1 from R2.   
-  50g, 72g, 78g, 100g, 120g, 135g  got a New jewelry gold plating factory in the late R2, produced as v1.2 with different process and technics.
-  At this moment, No stock for 55g, 85g at all.   
-  50g, 65g, 68g, 72g, 78g, 100g  are running low stock  below 25-30 sets.  62g v1.2 are under 50 sets.
-  I will do IC, whenever need to produce them again.

Thanks for the reply ! I figured that was how it worked.

I see, hopefully the springs will get here around the time that my other parts do.

[doodersbrother]

Just ordered some stabs. Will be useful for a project I have coming up!

Ordered some springs last night and got invoice within minutes so yea he's pretty quick.

Probably just a coincidence?      

[wlhlm]

Got a small shipment:


Frosted plate, small amount of Krytox (planning on mixing with EK Mechlube 2 for Ergo Clears), Gold stabs for Orion V2. He also found some limited run 55g springs (three 78g springs were also included). Tons of "Fragile" stickers as well, which look pretty awesome.

Thanks again sprit!
