[CLOSED][WTB][EU-IT] Hi-Tek 725 "Space Invaders" black clicky switches

Man from Mars · 30 Jun 2022, 22:52

Hi there!
I am looking for a few spare Space Invaders black clicky switches (just one would be enough but I'd be happy to get a few more).
I recently got a nice NOS PC122 keyboard that, unfortunately, has one switch with a broken slider.
The broken slider is the Numpad minus, that should not get constant usage during typing: therefore I might also consider getting different kind of SI switches as a replacement (of course the clicky ones are preferred).
If anyone has a messed up board around, headed for trash, please let me know.

Thanks.

i have a board which i completely dismanteled exactly for this case. if you need just 1 you only need to pay shipping if you want more, a good price would be 0,5€ each.

Well, I was pretty sure you would jump in the discussion!

Could you estimate the shipping cost for a small box/bag with, say, 5/10 switches? These should suffice to repair the board and have a few more spares around "just in case"...
Thanks

Any news? I have to collect materials for next winter, when I'll finally be able to spend some time restoring a few boards I bought (or maybe not? Or maybe selling some boards? Who knows...)

Sry for the delay, small package would be 6 Euro. I have a few German clicky left, could send a whole board for 30+16.

Great, I think I'll get 10 switches if they still fit within the same shipping cost. A whole board is too much (I hope...) but thanks for your offer. I'll PM you for details if you don't mind.

Just a split second after I posted my comment I thought: "How much will it take to see a MY switch joke?". Well, not so much as it seems...

And by the way: I "owned" a MY G1800 Cherry for about 1 day before my entire body would refuse to even be close to that. Can't think of a more awful combination.

They aren’t switches. They’re keycap holders. Best use for G81s is as pearly caps donors for better boards.

My holiday never began so, time for a DM.

And here they are! Spare switches just arrived to my desk.
Thanks Inozenz!
