do the jailhouse blues actuate at the bump/click? I've heard that some jailhouse blues don't. Also compared to browns how loud would you say the jailhouse blues are?

They actuate at the bump.

Much quieter than browns. The most quiet of all Cherry MX. Still not totally silent so no promises there on whether you can use this in a courthouse, but whether you bottom out or not they're the most quiet switch type you can get.

Sorry forgot to ask this in the earlier post but did you use the O-rings or the wire method of locking them down?

Are you asking because you want to learn how to make, or because you want to buy and are curious?

If you want to make, don't worry, I have been wanting to make a video about this for a while. I'll get to that after my other projects are done.

Nah not looking to make :P I've just heard that the O-Ring method is a lot more consistent than the wire method so I'd be fairly interested in buying a O-Ring jailhouse blue switch than a wire jailhouse blue switch.

Not to worry, mine are fairly consistent because I use dental bands. And I discard the bands that are slightly off spec when I notice any inconsistency.

For the wire thing, I think that's much harder to make well. I salute the guys who do it, but I don't want to be one of them.

Totally want those Jailhouses! I had such a hard time making them consistent. I made about six I really liked and a couple dozen that were scratchy. After that my fingers decided that the mod was nice but I couldn't hack the effort.

PCB mounted. Thank the lord. (Would've been hell to desolder if plate mounted on a 2x PCB)

Hey, I would really like enough of those green switches to fill a poker (61 or 62 I think?). I actually own a hhkb as well so would love to compare :-D

Being ghetto greens, they are actually blue in colour but use heavy spring. The weight is less than real greens / blacks due to high actuation point.

I'm quite keen to sell to you because I really want someone to do a side by side comparison, especially in terms of noise and typing speed. If that's your cup of tea we have a deal. PM me!

How much would it be for a 60% for the ghetto greens. Your post has made me interested to compare it to my 45g topre.

Odd request... I'm after a couple of clear switches, mounted if possible, to use as a ghetto switch sampler so I can find out if I want to transition from browns to clears. Doable?

What mounting are you talking about?

As I am not conus I suggest trying the 'free things' section. Just ask for a clear; some people might be able to spare.

mounted on anything vaguely resembling the feel of a PCB I guess :D  I'll try the free section, although I always thought that was more for people offering stuff than requesting stuff.

I bought some from this thread and they don't have the extra plastic pins so that makes them plate mount, I think?
