Well I was thinking if I've already got cherry stems and springs from an old board where the leaf springs are bad and I've got ~$0.25 kailh switches I could combine the two.

Not sure if these are kailh but I know you can get red and brown mx compatible for $0.30 here http://techkeys.us/collections/accessories/products/keyboard-switches

And I should have said IF I can get $0.25 kailh switches as I do not have them currently.

Thanks, it is still significantly cheaper than e.g. mouser. If you find even the lower price then please post.
