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?

I've seen some Cherry Yellowes on Taobao.

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.

Yeah, that's plenty .

EDIT: is he a person? I thought it was a company Oo .

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.

Awesome! Sorry, I obviously didn't know .

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...
