Cherry MX and Matias switches

[JBert]

It's basically a switch with a clear casing and a lens so an SMD led can shine through it.

Ascaii made a thread about them: http://deskthority.net/news-reviews-f4/ ... t6997.html

Maybe this is a new sub-category, like "with led", "with jumper" a new category "with clear casing" could be added. You would then have your regular stems and springs, just a clear casing.

OK, now I see it. I will ask for it.

Don't get the RGB thing.
I will call it:
MXREDC

[GeorgeK]

I was kind of excited about the whole RGB thing as originally I misunderstood it - I thought that somehow there were LEDs in the switches which would possibly mean you could have backlit switches you could still pop the tops off without desoldering them. When I reread the article it's actually just a lens inside the switch to reflect a surface mounted LED on the PCB itself...

[7bit]

LEDs in switches are a stupid idea anyway!

Sphericals don't shine through and there are no LED-window keys as doubleshots avaiable.

[GeorgeK]

I did try hacking the front part out of a switch once to see if it were possible to leave the LED in but just bend it out of the way when popping the top off switches - it did work but looked a complete mess... Needless to say I didn't bother putting that switch on a board!

The bot mailed me a week ago that all stuffs of my invoice (0120) is already shipped but I think some switches ordered are still unavailable. Do I think right or could I expect a huge packing ?

[7bit]

Everything has shipped. I expect it to arrive within the next 2 days.

[Vierax]

Woaw thank you, that's a nice surprise ! I can't wait to my Christmas present

[7bit]

In 2 days, it is raining blues!


I also expect the green NWs to arrive next week.

[eviltobz]

Any idea when the PCB mount reds are due in? They're still listed as due in November on the front page

[7bit]

I will change that.

Seriously, I expect them soon ...

[lord_voltron]

#447 didn't make it into the shipping day ?

[7bit]

MXBLUEs are here! I will start to pack them today and ship tomorrow and next week.

Next week, the greens will arrive ...

Actually, don't these switches do what you want? Granted, you need to replace your PCB, but then you can pop off the top at any time because there's no LED in the switch!

I WILL ASK THE BOT WHERE MY SWITCHES ARE! :o
#359

What is the code for ship now ?

Are you just waiting on the green/ NW or should I just pull the "ship now" trigger now ?

[7bit]

Next week, I get the greens. Then I ship.

[ninjadoc]

Ok.

[7bit]

So if I order this on friday the 13:th, about when will they ship and about when will I get them? (I live in Sweden)

• MXGREEN 8
  MXBLUE 6
  MXBROWN 3
  MXWHITE 6
  MXRED 2
  MXCLEAR 2

Yup it's a small order but I'm not going to build a keyboard, but imma just swap some things.

And how do I pay? Do you send an email to me? Will SEK to EUR work automatically? Which delivery method do you use?

And finally. Any updates on what switches are in store and not?

the initial setting is payment in US$ via Paypal, if you send "PAYEUR" you will pay in € via bank transfer. There is no autoconversion to SEK since it's strictly $ or € : you have to find if your bank conversion rate in € is better than SEK→$ from Paypal. 7bit use standard post delivery, no tracking. It rarely takes more than two weeks to be delivered in Europe.

Send your order and at the end of the invoice mail there is an updated listing of all items available.

Thanks Vierax!


All of these are in stock, BTW.

[Vierax]

de nada : I thought you must be bored to repeat the same things all this years like a Gracula or a “Papagei„

[obolla]

Thanks for the great answers!

#0394: Wondering if you've received the payment I made to Megnin on the 20th.

[7bit]

Yes, I did. The bot could have answered that question, too.

[tER299]

I've tried twice to order a cherry mx grey, but the bot will not put them in my invoice. I'm pretty sure that the spelling is correct, since I've copied it from the post itself. Could you help me 7bit?

[Iacoizumi]

Hey tER299, I was just talking to 7bit about the same thing -- looks like you and I are in for a bit of a wait as the greys are sold out.

Alright! Updated the order with the new address. Quick question though, scanning the invoice I got from CherryMX when I first ordered the switches, it doesn't look like it actually processed a charge:

Code: Select all

Additionally, it doesn't look like MXGREY/NW (MX1A-D1NW) is actually listed in your bot's inventory.

Have you stopped selling those entirely? Or did they just get purged from the inventory table on accident?

~~Iacoizumi

Hi Iacoizumi!

I'm afraid, these are sold out.

I will do an inventory count this week, to see if there is any reserve. If not you need to wait until I get the next batch.

7bit.

[7bit]

MXGREY is sold out. Both variants!
