I'm thinking about making a purchase for about 100 Black switches to replace my MX Reds. Would this be a wiser move than to maybe just get some replacements springs? I have another board with MX Blacks and I may want to get something a littler heaver/smoother to mimic the feeling.
Can anyone spit some knowledge on me?
Gateron blacks are smoother than MX blacks or reds. They are heavier than reds, which is a good thing, IMO. They are slightly lighter than MX blacks, which again is a good thing. No spring swap or lubing required, which is a VERY good thing.
I RECOMMEND YOU BUY LOTS AND LOTS OF GATERON BLACKS.
I'm personally ordering 1000 of them, and no other Gateron switch (I've tried Gateron clears), if that tells you anything.
