hi guys, i'm thinking of getting my first mkb so hope to get some suggestions here.

has anyone tried mx clear switches?
why is it so hard to get mx clear keyboards?
most of the sites i've found are sold out of it.
i'm thinking of getting a WASD mx clear when it restocks.

it's either that or i'll get a filco mx brown.

Cherry MX clears are generally more rare then the other common switches (blue,red,brown,black). Maybe less are made since it's not that popular until recently(I'll call that hype).  brows.gif

But one thing to note, stock clears are pretty heavy, most enthusiast favors the modded clears(aka ergo clears with 62g spring). It's pretty tiring to type on heavy switches except you got pretty strong fingers.

Brown is pretty much clears with lighter springs, you won't go wrong with it.  biggrin.gif

WASD, not cheap by any means, especially the shipping.  sweat.gif

yeah, including shipping will be about $200 for the WASD, but it looks really sleek.

I've decided to split my budget to get a mx brown filco and a keycap set from SP.
not sure if i want to get a DSA Dolch set or a DCS midnight set.
they come out to be about the same price. what do you guys think?

does anyone here offer modding services?
there is a GB for springs now on MD.
i would also want to get a mx clear 60% later on and have it modded.

i've tried the common switches (red, black, blue, brown) and liked the browns and wanted to try the heavier clears.

any suggestions for a good 60% cherry with clears?
currently looking at the pok3r but waiting for the backlit version.
thanks.

If you can source the springs on your own, I'm pretty sure most if not a couple of members here are able to help you for a fee.  smile.gif
