Cherry MX and Matias switches

flopix · 16 Sep 2014, 14:13

1. I'd be curious to know how many switches are on order for the clear types (since I ordered some)

2. If the projected time for switches is too long , can I reshuffle my order to get some normal switches instead?

RED:1242
BLUE:643
BLACK:89
BROWN:96

Please mind the 0.5 EUR per switch preorder price, instead of the usual 0.65 EUR.

2: Yes, you can change your order and take something else for your money.

And when will be the clear case ones available ?

quake4mhger · 17 Sep 2014, 01:23

I have a noobie question that, is the clear case switch with an led hole?
Because I would like to replace my KBT Race switch. Then the backlit could glow better under keycaps.
Shipping cost is too tempting here, want to order more

Thank you in advance.

Reds arrived today. Thanks.

Not a noob question because there's been a good deal of hype, but not a lot of technical info available for the clear cases. They appear to be designed specifically for SMD LEDs, and do not have the holes for through hole components. You can see more clearly at www.cherry-professional-gaming.com.

With that said... My plan is to modify the case and use through hole LEDs. How exactly, I'm not sure--I'll have to get my hands on them first.

quake4mhger · 17 Sep 2014, 08:42

Oh, these are the latest clear case we're getting?
Exciting we can buy the latest Germany design in a affordable price,
but sad because for sure it couldn't fit any traditional led with it.
And ... I'm only a newbie in soldering, it's impossible for me to do that kinda advance mod

Thank you very much for the reply spopepro

I'm also waiting for tech info about the case before I start designing my PCB. Sadly, SMD LED is not specific enough. There are many sizes and types of SMD LEDs... Wait & see, I guess

7bit · 17 Sep 2014, 09:44

The LEDs get under the switch. There is no hole.

Also: I need to ask again when they will be available.

Jersern · 17 Sep 2014, 09:47

Is there any chance the Mx Clears will ship out this week or next week? Really want it before my school holidays end!

7bit · 17 Sep 2014, 10:19

No chance!

Jersern · 17 Sep 2014, 10:54

Awww. Damn! Oh well...... time to play the waiting game.....

Most likely to fit one of these

Check out the pics of the switch

And one fuzzy drawing to help you design your PCB

And if it turns out this is entirely inaccurate, well hey, relaxen und watschen der blinkenlichten.

Is there a MOQ on the clearcase switches? Do you think if you tried real hard, you can fit a square through-hole LED inside the switch housing?

What is the status of the MXLOCK? Is it anywhere close to MOQ?

Hi,
I can't find what you have in stock 7bit… any information ?

Hi 7bit. Does the 0.50EUR pre-order price only apply to the switches with clear tops? Also, when abouts in October are you expecting MXCLEAR in?

Thanks

Sorry. And so I sent mail to an Admin as the FAQ instructed me to do.
