I'm looking for Cherry switches.

I'm looking for 67 Cherry Clears, a single MX Lock, and 15g springs to match.

15g is on the light side.
Meaning ... That will not bring the stem back up.

Do 15g springs even exist?

Typo, maybe?

This makes me chuckle a bit too much. XD
Did anyone watch Zeal's video of using a Gateron Clear (35g actuation) spring with a Cherry MX Clear stem?
It stalled for like 10 seconds before popping back up.
15g would not come back up.

Sorry, that was a typo! *35g. *facepalm* Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. I actually am looking for something so sensitive you can brush it and the keyswitch actuates.

May I suggest browns, then? As stated above, the clears need some medium stiffness strings to actuate without problems.

I recommend at least 60gr. springs for MX clears.

Browns' actuation bump is difficult to detect for me, and after doing a little bit of testing, I do think that a stiffer spring would leave me better off, so I think I'll stick with Clears, and spend a little bit extra for those 60 gram springs. Thanks for the recommendation, though! ^///^

While I've got a captive audience (thank you so much for replying so quickly) which controller do you think would be better suited for my 68 key layout, a Pi 0, or a Teensy??

You can still buy MX locking keys on Jack Humbert's site
http://olkb.com/parts/lock-switch they are quite expensive, but they are also super rare and if they weren't 8 dollars a piece I would have bought a lot more than I did
