Which switches?
« on: Thu, 31 March 2016, 18:56:45 »
I've tried the following switches, all stock, all in plates.
  • MX Reds - they are way too light and ****
  • MX Browns - too light but a decent bump
  • MX Clears - too heavy and bump a bit too big
  • Gat Blacks - SO SMOOTH but too light
I'd prefer to not bottom out but that's kind of unavoidable. 3mm travel would be perfect but I'm scared that I wouldn't hit actuation all the time.

If someone could advise me on which springs to get then that'd be great.  :-* :-*

Sounds like you would like gateron browns with a heavier spring, not sure about what spring though.

All this gibberish with springs confuse me too much. Might just go for 67g and hope for the best.

I think Zeal has said that the 78g Zealious feel just a tad lighter than stock Clears.

Zealios?

3mm travel - you'll still have 2mm travel to actuation, but O-rings can reduce further travel to 1mm, making a total travel distance of 3mm.
