7bit what is the command to pay by Google Wallet please?

7bit · 25 Jul 2014, 15:41

PAYGOOGLE

BUT: Not for long anymore, because jefferai has enough money together to buy his secret island.

Muirium · 25 Jul 2014, 17:17

Nixdorfs! For just 6 Euros each? Well, they do come with diodes…

You're getting into the switch collector's market, now. Even I'd find it hard to make a keyboard out of that little lot!

scottc · 25 Jul 2014, 17:47

Nixdorfs! 6 euro per switch. Well fuck.

7bit · 25 Jul 2014, 18:00

Yeah, this is a friendship price, exclusively for DT members!

Sayso · 25 Jul 2014, 18:04

6€/nixdorf switch ?
If I had known this I would have bid on the lot of 10 pcbs

How very friendly of you! I'd hate to see how you treat your enemies.

7Bit, Thank you! My MX REDS were in the mailbox when I got home from work.

Paranoid · 29 Jul 2014, 11:01

Hey 7bit (or anyone), what's your opinion on MX white switches? I have a few samples and they feel a bit softer / less noisy than MX blue. And less stiff/scratchy than MX clears..
I was thinking of making a clear switch with clear or white stems but I'm not quite sure which will feel the nicest. MX blue is the loudest I assume. I don't feel like ordering all of them

Do you also sell white or clear stems separately?

Muirium · 29 Jul 2014, 12:13

I doubt he sells separate stems.

White is significantly quieter than MX blue (or green) but is still technically a clicky switch. Whites are essentially factory lubed blues. Meanwhile clear has no click at all.

Yes, I indeed do sell them separately!

Price:
0.10 EUR for a stem
0.64 EUR for taking a switch apart

So whites are factory lubed? I saw something on GH about this, didn't know the modern switches would also have them (not at home right now to open up the switch). I thought the click mechanism was different as well.. I've got blues on order right now but haven't had a board with blues yet. Only typed on one of my brother and I thought it was pretty loud but I liked the click. But if whites are more quiet I would lean towards that. I have strong doubts about clears since they have such a heavy bump and feel quite stiff, feels quite awkward when I tried them. Would be ashame if I didn't like those after assembly.

With my little experience so far i can say about MX Whites that they are quieter than Blues and Greens, but almost feel the same. I switched from Blues to Whites (and some Greens) on my Filco board. I have also the issue (like others or everyone), that they sound a little bit different each other, so some are louder, and some quieter. But i don't have a problem with it, since i'm almost all the time bottoming out and a different sound of each key is no problem for me or annoys me. I tried to filter the bad boys out before soldering, but as i found out it didn't help that much - afterwards a bad switch was good and vice versa.

Paranoid · 29 Jul 2014, 20:52

Any update about the August pre-orders btw? I have the almighty patience, just want to establish a timeline for when I have to decide if I want to order more or not

*edit: I see you already posted about clear mx and others. What about the clear housings?

Justify · 30 Jul 2014, 09:51

howdy! When do you expect cherry mx dark grey (stiff) switches to be back in stock?

cub-uanic · 01 Aug 2014, 02:18

Any chance to get one more Cherry G80-8910LSFGB?...
And what about to shipping cost to Ukraine?

mr_peck · 01 Aug 2014, 08:56

Any update for order #0597 ?

cooldiscretion · 01 Aug 2014, 20:18

When does a refund get sent when you clear an order? I cleared order #0622 a few days ago and I'm just curious.
