You have to replace the whole switch. I had to use a LOT of liquid flux along with my fluxed desoldering braid to desolder that one microswitch on my imperator. It did NOT want to come out without a fight. Do NOT force your microswitch out. If it doesn't come out with a "reasonable" amount of force,...

I'm STILL hoping you'll offer cherry microswitches someday... (DG23C1AA (~75g), and DG23B1AA (~150g))

I used a cherry microswitch to fix my razer imperator (which had omrons, which are SUPPOSED to be the good ones...). I have to say that I LOVE cherry microswitches. They feel so much better than any other mouse microswitch I've ever used. If 7bit ever offers the 2 compatible models (DG23C1AA (~75g),...

... You lucky son of a bitch... How much did it cost? I can't get that board out of my head!... If I get it I will be breaking my cardinal rule of never buying used...

I'd still very much like to get one... I just wonder if it would be better to play part number shady-roulette like you as taobao is also shady...

Aunt Ripster?!

It's working...

That one already turned up in my search for more info.

Now tell me how much it would cost proxied to my door before I regain my sanity.

Very true. It's all about how good you are at finding the good deals. How much you pay for something isn't what it's worth. I am still very tempted by that 1388032 though... How much do you think it would be shipped to my door? And would it survive the journey?... (I don't want a DOA or frankenstein...

So basically you're saying that a used industrial (before proxying) is worth more than 2 NIB non-industrial shipped to my door?... The color of the case and badge are REALLY worth that much of a price increase?... The OP is allowed to call the thread whatever he damn well pleases. This is DT not GH,...

Wow, I did not know about that one. $162.66... Before proxying... But it is purdy...

I paid $158.40 total shipped for my NIB 120 and 131... I don't think I could justify that 032...

EDIT: Wait a minute... Does that listing say he has 11 of them?!

200 is a very thin grease, but a grease will always kill the click in clicky switches. Oils or a mix will have to be used to preserve the click. 200 works very well on linear and tactile switches though. When it comes down to it I think I still prefer unlubed switches. That graininess and hard thock...

You're going to sell yours?... But you haven't even tried it yet...

So... Who pays who/what now?... Does he pay me for shipping and you for the tube?

There will be a second round eventually when I have time. And all 16 krytox oils and greases will be available. I just don't have the time to organize it for a while...

If PCB-mount browns falls through, you guys know I have them covered.

Is there still nothing mintberryminuscrunch? It seems odd that everyone else in Germany has received theirs...

I hate being sick...

mintberryminuscrunch is the only one who hasn't received his yet. inlikeflynn will 'eventually' pick up his and Halverson's.

They were sent on the same day to the same country... I guess all you can do is wait.

I'll give you an update tomorrow.

Take some pics of the package.

Mintberryminuscrunch and Acanthophis still need to give confirmation of receipt.

The next lube buy might be from a different source.

281 keyboards died for make this video

All those poor keyboards... WHAT DID THEY EVER DO TO YOU?!

That's a really cool video, regardless of all the keyboard murder.

The island of Reddit in the Helvetica sea.

Well that sucks... That's higher than rindorbrot at 8.56€ by quite a bit.

Mintberryminuscrunch, Icarium, and Acanthophis still need to give confirmation of receipt.

Über Lube. (It's also Über expensive...)

Ok so xauser has received his, but had to pay VAT... (Why does there seem to be no consistency?...) I still need confirmation of receipt from mintberryminuscrunch, Icarium, pasph, and Acanthophis. Also received my letter from customs. All they want is my money :/ They also printed Mr. Lubealot on th...

Ooh my, The_Ed, run a 3d cthulhu IC! :p Naah, the stickers look fine, but they shouldn't be in a gold or silver color. They should be like the black and white DT logo IMHO. I have enough on my plate at the moment... Black and white would actually be pretty cool. I still don't think I'd buy them tho...

Well that sucks, but we expected that at least somebody would be forced to pay VAT. It's good that the other's that have arrived so far didn't need to pay VAT.

OK so rindorbrot has received (and likes) his 200. Has anyone had to pay VAT yet, or is it just sacrificed time at this point?

I believe it was 3 layers of bubblewrap, followed by a layer of cardboard, and finally the bubble mailer on the outside. I made DAMN sure nobody's tube got punctured.

Icarium just got a letter from the customs office... Has anyone actually had to pay VAT yet?

I can just Imagine the customs officers now - That stuff ain't safe at all! (My ass burns...) He's paying VAT on this!

I wonder if they're 'trying out' your lube "Mr. Lubealot".
