ya... still finding where got sell cherry mx switch in malaysia.... got any idea?

Confirm don't have. The nearest selling only switches is China Taobao. Or maybe even Taiwan and Japanese auctions. Korea also have but harder to get access to buy e.g. OTD.

The only other option is to get from donor boards, but i haven't seen many people selling just the switches only :/

ok... seem like i just can order from taobao...

Cherry MX Red switches cost the most almost 3-5 times the price of the other Cherry mx switches.

Also Cherry MX switches have 2 types. PCB mounted and plate mounted.

PCB mounted has an extra pin i am told. You can snip it off to make compatible with plated mounted keyboards.

Whereas the plate mounted cherry mx switches doesn't have that extra pin, so if you use it for a pcb mounted keyboard, it doesn't stick on so well.



Anyway, i think you only need to remove the plastic piece and spring inside the cherry mx switch and transplant into the existing cherry switch and should work. This is my guess. SO maybe you don't really have to worry if the one your getting is pcb or plate mounted switches.

thx for your remind... just notice the different.... i think my 6gv2 is the plated mounted keyboard... now i just scare fake cherry mx switch....

Also taobao have a rating system. Better ratings presumably honest seller otherwise he would have bad rating. Just look at it this way :}

ok... already decide seller and thing... now thinking how to transfer back malaysia... gonna buy blue,brown,red and black cherry mx 20 each, second hand white and grey cherry mx....

The cheapest i saw was this

But the picture doesn't show any cherry mx covering, only the inside plastic and spring.

I think thats ok since thats really all you need, then just swap with the one in your existing switch.

Problem is, how to check if it's original or counterfeit i don't know.



@angelofro

How many cherry mx red are you getting ?

i buy the whole switch.... not just the spring... if exchange spring and the plastic only will waste a lot time... the red switch i buy 20..... just got 1 people sell the red cherry mx....

That's exactly how the space of 7G looks like.

@lucidlts

so how your fren 7g space bar? fix already?

Use Cherry mx Grey for spacebar if your using for non clicky keyboards.

For clicky keyboards, people tend to use Cherry mx Green for spacebar because that is clicky as well.

got green cherry mx? not just got blue, red, white, black, Grey and brown only? ( maybe still got some old switch )

nope, the squeak is still there. My 6Gv2 dont have that problem.

erm... maybe because the left side + broken?
need take off the space bar to check what problem...

There are spacebar specific cherry mx switches. Grey (non clicky) and green (clicky)

oh.. thx for your info... i just newbie in mechanical keyboard...

nothing is broken. I dont see anything wrong with his keycaps nor the stabilizer. strange :/
