Hey, i just wanted to solder some of the pcb-mount switches. I got 10 blue and 10 green. But all of them are missing two pins, the ones, which i marked red in this link:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/678 ... ounted.jpg

Are they just for poistion and i can solder the switches even if they are missing?

Those extra wires are sometimes used as bridges on Cherry PCBs. These holes are also used for LEDs or n-key-diodes.

[Thanatermesis]

No BROWN's for PCB ? how to know when they will be available ?

"clear case" means the key body case or it is for the keycaps? (if they are included)

Thx

[CatNip :3]

Should I be receiving Order #0537 soon? It's been a few weeks already. :\

Clear case means that the case is clear
You can take a look at the switch at the german homepage of cherry:
http://cherry.de/cid/b2b_tastenmodule_C ... xxA_B.htm?

With the clear case you can mount an SMD LED beneath the switch instead of using the old 3mm format. This enables you to use RGB LEDs (they are only available in 5mm or SMD). Keycaps are not included, you need do buy them additionally or harvest them from old keyboards.

What about 0552? I paid that a week ago (via paypal) but haven't heard about receipt of payment.

[7bit]

I'm still waiting for the black and darkgreys from the GH60 group buy.

I thought they were in stock. Well, I don't really need blacks/greys, so if they're going to be long then replace with whites/greens/something else please.

Just did the same (removed BLACKs). You should be able to do it via PM: MXBLACK 0

If everybody jumps off, jdcarpe does not need to send them to me at all.

[tER299]

Does this mean that my order (0475) is delayed three more months?

[7bit]

I've got no blacks and about 6 dark greys. I can ship you everything except the black.

[Stabilized]

Did I manage to get my order for plate mounted blues in before they went out of stock?
Order no: 5060

[7bit]

Yes.

[Stabilized]

Fantastic, thanks a lot

[tER299]

I've got no blacks and about 6 dark greys. I can ship you everything except the black.

So, is it possible to wait a month and receive all the switches at the same time? Or do you ship what is available to the buyers so that there might be a chance that I have to wait a couple of month?

I'd like to make up my mind about the switches before I buy the whole lot for an Ergodox, but I guess shipping 1 switch is a bit expensive

[oystein.krog]

7bit: I'm sorry to lay claim to your time by asking, but did my order also get in before you ran out?
#0542

tER299: I highly recommend buying one of the switch samplers that are out there, I got one from QWER with blue, green, brown, clear, red and black. Helped a lot:)

[7bit]

Just got an answer about the MXLOCK:

They indeed sell only 4000 of them, but the price went down significantly:
1.20 EUR per switch.


Delivery is estimated to take 7 weeks.


I take now orders.

[scottc]

Wooooow! Well done 7bit!

[Muirium]

Whoah! Mind blown!

I'll be ordering when I can.

Sadly, you can't test out Ergo Clears that way.

[7bit]

MXLOCK are almost sold out! Only 4000 available! Order now!!!

[elllit]

Checking in for #0544.

Did I make it before you ran out of Clears?

I could certainly wait for the other switches, but I was hoping to get the Clears soonish.

[7bit]

I've got enough clears to ship all orders right now.

Deadline for MXLOCK: 31 March 2014!!
