The PCB's were sent on 25/10.
Here is the tracking number: RR618641978ES

Sorry again for the inconveniences.

I love how reds and ghetto reds aren't next to each other, they ARE the same switch.

What can one say, they felt different.
At least I know I like the red ones the best.

Very nicely packaged by Gascogne.

Great. Waiting
Will contact the next on the list to get the contact data in time.

nice to see there are guys doing it uncomplicated and in time. thank you

First off I would like to thank CeeSa for creating this group trial and accepting me into it. It certainly was a long wait from when I put my name forward and being accepted to actually getting the switches in my hand, but it definitely was worth it.

My top eight of switches are now as follows:
1. Clear - nice noticeable activation followed by a strong resistance (this will be my next switch choice for a keyboard)
2. Green - more noticeable activation than blue, then stronger spring before bottoming out, which I like.
3. Blue - nice activation noise, and as expected as this is the switch I have on my Noppoo.
4. Ergo Clears - nice activation, but too weak a resistance afterwards.
5. Brown - if anything, this trial allowed me to find out that it was a good choice I chose Blue for my Noppoo, as other than tactile feeling (which is only reason it is at the bottom), the spring is too weak for my taste.
6. Black - strong, but no activation feeling (hence why it is linear).
7. Red - weak.
8. Ghetto Reds - weak.

I don't know if this makes much sense to others, and it's probably stating the obvious, I just thought I would put it down to give you guys some feedback from a novice at these things.

As an aside, the boards are very well put together, which is a good thing as they have travelled a fair bit of Europe, and next the rest of the world. Shame the final box will not be like an old suitcase, covered in stamps from around the world.

I am always interested in feedback, thank you for your thoughts.

Maybe somebody could make some pics of the box and the PCB?

May I be added to the U.S. list? =]

shure, your are welcome.

So the package is on its way to Arnianor. I will send him an e-mail with the tracking number.

I liked the linear switches very much (Red,Black and Gettho reds)

Thx. So now I know which switches will suite me most.

greets,
Lex

Just receive the package tonight the 23.11.2012. Not tested yet, I'll send them to the next in the list next week.

Ok first try of the switches: the corresponcance list must have been lost, so I'll do it again, print it and send it with the package. There's a problem with 1 brown switch, the w, which is completly linear (the 3 others are ok).

So my preferences are, after a first try, in order:

• Ghetto Red
• Red
• Blue (though a little bit noisy)
• Brown (I hesitated between blue and brown, but brown seems too much "in between", not beeing a true tactil nor a true linear)
• Ergo Clear
• Green (in this position because I think it might be great on a space or enter key, which is its job, but would be horrible for other keys)
• Black (too hard)
• Clear (too hard, and dislike it's tactile feedback)

Thanks !
I'll still try them tomorrow but i don't think my mind will change alot about it, maybe I'll have a better idea of the brown by then.

Sent on 28.11.2012 to the next on the list.

Can I be added to the list after RawrNasha on the Europe list? I am located in Denmark.

shure, velkommen.

I'm considering buying my first mechanical keyboard (Filco Tenkeyless), but I'm not quiet sure which switches to go for. May I be added to the list? I'm located in Germany.
Thanks in advance, this is a great idea!

yes, you are in the list. Willkommen.

Received them just a few days ago!

Just PMing/emailing t4ub3 now to send it on

In terms of reviewing, the only thing that stood out to me was how ergo clears wasn't the be all and end all of Cherry switches. Contrary to popular belief, the increased tactility wasn't that great (for me). Sort of felt cheaply done, not tight and sharp.

Reds are just nice, if you don't mind lots of bottoming out, browns are just nice because they are just nice. Blues are too noisy but have the nicest tactility.

I have already bought a keyboard
Can you please remove me from the list.

Thanks a lot!
