Question - How much does a Cherry MX switch weigh?
« on: Sun, 28 September 2014, 12:19:17 »
Hey folks, I'm wondering how much a MX Cherry switch weighs.
I assume that the different switch types weigh about the same but please enlighten me.
If you don't know feel free to use a digital scale and a switch tyoe that you have laying around.
I'm asking since im trying to calcutate shipping weight for a couple of hundred switches internationally :)

Shoot!

80 switches are just under 130 g.

AFAIK a switch weighs a little over a gram, and they're all about the same

25 weighed 1.4 oz, so I round up to 1.5 just to be safe. This means about 6 oz per 100 switches.

Combined knowledge is awesome. Thank's for clearing that up. I'm gonna add a smiley I don't fully understand now.
