It needs to be cleaned inside and out. The monterey blue switches feel exactly the same as the ones from my NIB, so I guess they are very durable indeed.

I have some montereys which are well worn.

are they worn overall or just some keys???
This might indicate change through age or through use....

Just some keys.

[Mrinterface]

Just some keys.

I can fix those....

Want to get rid of them? *evil grin*

[webwit]

I'll swap mine for yours.

Ahhhhh, monterey blues on a minitouch!

Since this doesn't look like you are using it : why not sell it to me? It will save me the pain of converting a white alps minitouch to a blue monterey one....

EDIT : hmm, next time I'll examine a bit more before I press 'submit' ->that's not a minitouch... What is it?
EDIT2 : jeeez... I just had to look at the image info....

Hahahahahaha...... Your collection would surely be incomplete, that's for sure! I love that switch. ( Next to cherry black... )

[Mrinterface]

I just cleaned it.
Even opened it up to vacuum clean it and what a difference it makes! Looks even better than my NIB one. Beautiful stuff...

Can you post a picture of it cleaned?
