I just wanted to try other mx switches, i only used blues, browns and blacks(althought i dont know if there were mx or ml blacks). So i would like to try other ones. Also what does the NW code mean?

The last two letters of the part number specify LED diode and PCB mounting pins. N = no LED, no diode, W = with pins. So NN = no LED/diode, no pins. NW = no LED/diode, with pins.

See the last section here: http://www.cherrycorp.com/english/switches/key/mx.htm

Because I got some orders for the NW variant: I can make some NW switches, but please be sure you really need them for PCB mounting. If you just want to swap the stems and springs for a PCB-mount keyboard, please order the NN variant.


The difference is just the 2 extra pins on the bottomshell of the NW switches for PCB mounting.

Payments from Bimgao and dirge (something about a 7bit plate) have been received and marked as shipped for Paypal purposes (to keep them from locking up the PP account). Invoices may or may not reflect the payments yet. Keep checking this thread for the actual ship date.

You should think about adding cherry mouse micro-switches to the next switch-buy. I just used one from a murdered POS board to fix my razer imperator. I only have 3 left now...

Didn't even know there Cherry made those. I got a bunch of Omrons to fix mine a while ago. http://www.dealextreme.com/p/diy-mouse- ... ack-122495

Is there any notable difference?

The Omron micro-switch that was in the imperator is what failed. So much for their supposed reliability. Cherry makes switches of damn near every kind. The cherry micro-switches that I harvested have a higher actuation force, are much more clicky and tactile, and very loud.

Question…
I have a Leopold FC200, could I just desolder the old switches and replace them with Greens? Also, are the Phantom PCBs going to be available again? Those require a filco enclosure, correct?

If the switches are platemounted, you need to desolder them, unless you habve the superior Phantom keyboard which lets you canges stems and springs at any time even though they are plate mounted.

I'm not sure if there will be a 2nd round of Phantom keyboards. I still have an ANSIWIN plate available.

You can also use a custom case :mrgreen: for the Phantom or use it naked :oops: .

Will you add cherry mouse micro-switches? DG23C1AA (~75g), and DG23B1AA (~150g)? I can't be the only one to like them.

I can ask if my supplier is able to get them and how many we have to take.
