Cherry MX and Matias switches

[tER299]

Wait, the blacks are back in stock? Does that mean that my order (#0475) can be shipped?

I don't think they're in stock. It has 2 question marks behind GH60 so he probably doesn't know yet when he'll get them

Yeah, the GH60 is basically unknown arrival date. It has been unknown for quite some time now. 7bit mentioned a couple of pages back that he was even considering cancelling it if he didn't get any update soon.

Got my greens and tactile greys in the mail yesterday. Thanks 7bit!

[MAR82]

Hi there 7bit, I just wanted to know if you know anything about order number 605. You said that it would ship on the 11th, but czarek hasn't gotten them yet.
Thanks

[shamanas]

ehm..7bit seems still busy..
I'll wait for the shipping cost info

Shipping costs 43 EUR up to 5kg and 60 EUR up to 10kg.

I see, it's weight-based then
What's the procedure to have the items I purchase to be send by DHL?
In the example format there's no option for the shipping.
Thanks

BTW.. CherryMX clearcase.. just the casing or include the switch? because it's odd.. much cheaper than the regular.

The CherryMX clear case switches are preorders ,they are not yet out on any keyboard afaik (I think the first board to use them comes out in a couple of weeks or so) so thats why the price is so low.
The cases are clear (not the whole switch), to allow LEDS to be placed on the PCB below the switch (I think), which makes them more durable.

[Muirium]

And maybe they'll show up in 2015…

[shamanas]

Yeah, I think Corsair has exclusive access to the switches for some months (perhaps even a year?)

[Thanatermesis]

Just got yesterday the remaining switches in my mailbox, Thank you!

Hello,

Any idea what happened to #0547? It looks like a box full of 60 cherry red mx switches, maybe you've seen them, anyone? 7bit? Maybe I should look into mouse button switches or scissor switches? Anyone do a DIY keyboard with those?

[Halvar]

Has #577 been shipped yet? If not, is it on stock or is something still missing? Thanks!

[cooldiscretion]

How long does it usually take to get switches from this buy after paying? Can someone comment? I bought some switches roughly 2 weeks ago and I don't even need them for like 2 months, but I'm just curious. Also, do we get any tracking or notification of shipment or do the switches just show up at the door? I bought Clear Case Mx Blues, so I assume since those are on pre-order it may take some time.

It really depends if they are in stock or not. If you order switches that are in stock, I believe 7bit ships them fairly quickly, but I don't believe you get tracking.

However, if you order switches that are on pre-order/GH60, the wait can be much, much longer.

[xSketchy0]

7bit did you already ship #0606 if not then I wanted to remove the MX Clear/NW to MX Grey 2 if possible. If you already shipped it, can you scrap the order for the MX Clear/NW that's still a pre order

I see...the pre-order price with low price... very interesting since clear cases much more appealing.

still awaiting info for how to give note on special shipping request using DHL.

My last online purchase using some regular international priority mail gave a nerve-breaking of waiting for 3 months to arrive.

Any update for order #0597 ?

[Hermith]

People planning on buying MX Clears and PCB mounting them should be vary that they are extremely tight. Not sure if this was just the batch I bought but mine are consistently very tight, and switches more often than not open up when I'm removing keycaps. The MX Greens I bought at the same time are behaving normally.

[cooldiscretion]

If the preorder items have a date of 8-2014 in the last column is this the earliest possible date for 7-bit getting them in stock or is this the expected date?

To echo this, I am having this problem too...not just with clears bought through this GB, but also Clears bought elsewhere around the same time. DCS keys were easy enough to pop off but SA keys are very difficult, and the switches themselves are often popping open (which I imagine isn't so great for the latches on the switch).

So if I get this right the problem is fixed when using them with plate and not just having them PCB mounted? I'm asking because I just ordered some for an ErgoDox with an aluminum plate

[Muirium]

I've had switches (MX blacks) pop right out of a plate when pulling vintage Cherry sphericals off them. (Those caps are essentially the same as DSA.) But I didn't have a PCB holdi them in place, just a hand wired matrix. The switches did pop out still closed, if that's any consolation!

DSA style caps are definitely tighter. Plate mounting will help, but those clips are only so strong.

Yeah I've always been told that DSA caps are very tight. But I guess with the solder plus the plate I should be "safe". I'll just be sure to give the caps an extra good wiggle when pulling them off
Thanks for the info

Hello,
I would like to order a set of MXBROWN switches to build an ergodox and have it sent to czarek.
Can someone tell me how I should write my order?
And how I should pay for it?
Thanks

The guide to ordering is in the opening post

[snehuliak]

MXBROWN 78
myaddress@domain.com
ADDRESS
Ship to czarek

Then I will receive an invoice with instructions for the payment?

Does this seem right?

[7bit]

Yes, seems right, but I don't have MXBROWNs in stock. You can order them but I don't know when the become available again. I still wait for an answer ...

[MAR82]

Just wanted to know if order #0605 has been shipped since on the order I see "preorder 06/2014" but on first page of this thread it says "(07/2014)"
Thanks

Ships tomorrow.

Hi 7bit, do you know anything? Because czarek still hasn't gotten them, and it's been about a month

[Leimi]

Hey 7bit,

Any news for order #0626? Your first post says the switchs are in stock and I paid a week ago.
