In for a 120 pack of tactile grey and perhaps clears as well. When is the GB period and what kind of delivery time line are we looking at? (preferably < 3 months from GB closure to shipping?)

[Tobi45]

Are the white switches tactile, or clicky? Because I'd be very interested in 200 clicky whites.

White is CLICKY and CLEAR is TACTILE in Cherry vocabulary

[Tobi45]

I know that's how it is in western lingo, but it's different in asia afaik.
There the clicky one is milky and the tactile one is white. Since DoyuStudio/Sennin is from taiwan I'd much rather ask than get the wrong switch.

Clear supply got iussue makes us can't sell it now.
And leading time will be <1 month after GB ends.
Buyers should get item within 2 months after GB ends.

Yes,
In Chinese, we call white as milky, and clear as white.
But we'll type it in international way.
So, it's cliky white.

And for clear, what I heard is that we won't get it recently, leading time will over 6 months at least.

[Slash Emperor]

I'm definitely interested in white, clear, and tactile grays. Probably looking at 100 of each.

Seeing as Clear is no longer available, I think I'll just go for Tactile Grey then!

[Tobi45]

Then I'm all in for some White switches

[CornCha0s]

In for a 120 pack of tactile greys.

[steven_g]

Tactile greys! Either quantity is fine with me.

Edit: How do I read that shipping chart? I want to know the price of one bag of switches to Canada.

[Parva Ovis]

I'm interested in 120 Whites and 120 Tactile Greys.

[sennin32]

duynguyenle 120 pack

Cherry officially uses the names White and Clear:
https://www.cherry.de/cid/keymodules.htm

Using any other terminology in an English speaking context would be greatly misleading. A whole different story when writing in Chinese I guess.

[Giorgio]

Any chance to have mx red SILENT switches?

They're super smooth. Huge success guaranteed 

Interested in mx reds pcb mounted.

I'm from Taiwan, so yes I can speak Chinese.

Okay, cause we'll calculate guys prefer which kind of pack

Interested in mx reds pcb mounted.

For now we're not able to get them

[luckyryan333]

Interested with black and grey, 120 pcs.

What type of grey? Linear or tactile?

Can you also offer stabilizers for these switches?

[wodan]

This has already been addressed by the OP.

It was important for me to clarify that the "names" of Cherry switches are not up for discussion. MX Clear and MX White aren't names the community came up with ...

[catweewee]

In for 120 of greys. Are we able to pick plate mounted switches for greys?

So sorry that you're not able to get them. Last time I contacted cherry, they said that they were available, and they also gave me the addresses of their distributors.

[lejboua]

I would like to have 120 tactile Greys.

[jorgenslee]

Interested on 200 tactile greys.

[Jumie]

100 of tactile grey for me.

[nyunyu]

I'd like to have 2x120 MX Clears, but as I see it is not available.

Does the Tactile Grey have the same tactile bump?
If yes, then I can order those too.

Also I'd like to have some lighter springs like Blacks for modding.

[PollandAkuma]

I'm super interested! If the shipping to the UK isn't too high.

If I remember correctly, the tactile grey stem is exactly the same as the clear stem, but spring force is a little different.

[Biggestmac]

PCB mount Tactile grays please, either quantity would be good. When would this GB start?

Yes, tactile gray have tactile bump.
But I can't find diagram, it's just like Tactile Gray disappear on the Cherry site.
I'll try contact local agent or Cherry directly if they can provide datasheet.

I'm super interested! If the shipping to the UK isn't too high.

Basically, except Canada and Australia (Canada's post service is nightmare, Australia is a little better than Canada, but still bad, so we only ship by AIR/SAL pack this time. Because almost no profit on this price, we don't want to put us in any risk)
shipping fee to Asia and Oceania = ((weight-20)*7+10+65)/30.5/(1-0.05)
shipping fee to rest of the world = ((weight-20)*10+13+65)/30.5/(1-0.05)
120 pack is about 220~240g include packaging
So shipping fee to UK(or Euro, USA...etc) will around $6.5
65 is register pack fee in TWD
13 is first 20g fee
10 is shipping fee for each additional 20g
30.5 is paypal USD-TWD currency change rate(Pretty bad because of 2.5% fee)
0.05 is paypal fee (4.9% actually)

PCB mount Tactile grays please, either quantity would be good. When would this GB start?

I think this GB will actually run, buyer is enough.
But I have to read the rule of GB forum.
If we can post on our own store, it will be faster, will start in next week(11/8~11/15).
If not, I have to develop some google script and make a web app, that will cost additional week I think.

Now, I'll assume buyers are not enough to buy all switches available.
So we might set the duration to 3weeks or 1 month.
But we'll try to ship earlier orders before GB ends.

I tried to read the shipping chart but it was quite difficult to understand. Could you clarify how much it would cost to ship one pack of switches to the UK? (220 gram package as per the original post).

I checked out your ebay store, was looking at some of the keyboard cases but the shipping for one of those aluminium 60% cases to the UK was like $65, more than the price of the item! Please tell me it won't cost that much to ship some switches!

It must got a wrong setting.
I'll check it later.
If you could tell us which link you're look will be better
aluminium case is about 500~600g, shipping fee should around $15 on eBay.
We're building our own site now.
eBay even charge finial value fee for shipping, and they charge for 9%, too expensive for buyers.

Any comment on these?

[Cotay]

I recently purchased a universal plate from sennin22 on eBay. Very smooth transaction; good communication.

I'd be in for 120 Blacks.

Tactile, any we won't run this GB with stabilizers this time
