I'm trying to find a way to buy some of the new Cherry MX switches. Specifically, I'm looking for (just a few) of the following:

-Cherry MX Speed Silver
-Cherry MX Silent Red (Pink)
-Zealio Purple
-Zealio Clear

I've been looking around but I can't seem to find a way to buy these loose, does anyone have any idea where I might be able to get these?

Fake switches are also of interest in this forum. ;)

Considering the fact that they're pretty much a Corsair exclusive... Maybe beg Cherry North America and Corsair for samples?

What do you mean by just a few? I could send about 4 Zealios (65 or 67g, or both) if you want.

Edit: Although if they're for review purposes, maybe Zeal himself would prefer to send you some of the latest run? He's made a few minor adjustments to them since the round mine are from.

:lol: :lol:

If I have some extras from this R4 GB, I'll arrange something. If not, it would have to be around Feb before R4.5 comes in.

Did you ever get your hands on (new) Cherry MX Whites?
I recently got a bunch from Sennin32s GB and it seems like they were able to get rid of most of the variance, most of the switches I got sound exactly the same, although there are still some that are closer, or further away from MX Blues than regular.
I feel like they are pretty much one of the best Switches Cherry has to offer, the click is much, much more pleasant than that of MX blues. While I dislike their weighting (too heavy for my tastes), I think this switch is often overlooked and if they actually god rid of most of the variance, I think that should end.

So tl;dr if you never had them, I'd definitely add them to the list.

I have a single loose switch of them, but no board of them.

I made you a really quick vocaroo, of a loose MX White (from Sennin32) and an (I think Gateron) Blue. First Gateron, then MX White

And here is one of a KBP V60 with MX Whites, where you can here the abysmal variance of the (earlier version?) Switch

It'll probably be hard to get a board with a good batch of MX Whites, as most retail ones probably still use the version with mixed clicks...
