If there is demand for NW switches, the only thing I can do is to remove the limits and order as soon as I got the money from you.
Please notice that you only need the NW variant if you have a PCB without switches! If you just want to turn an MX-black board into MX-red or want ergo clears, you can open the switches and swap in whatever you like. No desoldering is needed if switches are PCB-mounted!

Maybe later I could learn to make my own board. Could Membrane PBC be used for Cherry mx switches? Or the Cherry MY PBC. Either that or find a cheap Cherry board.

If it's what I think, plastic and soldering are not really good friends : plastic will melt.

Payment from HzFaq has 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(s). This only includes payments to me via Paypal. Note that the address on your Paypal emails is not necessarily the address 7bit will ship your switches to, he ships to the address on your invoice.

Ah, okay, thank you for the clarification. After reading your OP I thought that I needed the NW switches for my Poker. I will probably be making an order in the near future, thank you7bit wrote:All non-NW variants (plate mountable) are available.MarkPharaoh wrote:Are Greys the only thing that you're going to restock in the near future?

7bit, can you reply to my PM's? Don't know if you've seen them.

I mean a PBC from a membrane board. But do Cherry MY switches have the same mounting holes as a Cherry MX?Vierax wrote:When you say membrane PCB, you mean the plastic matrix used instead of PCB ?TheQsanity wrote: Hmm, good point. That should save money too.

You can only mount them to a PCB which has been made for Cherry MX switches.TheQsanity wrote:

In most cases you need/can use the plate-mount versions of the switches.

I don't think so, but please do a research on the cherry website to compare switches specs instead of asking. All the informations are easily found with a simple search engine request.TheQsanity wrote: I mean a PBC from a membrane board. But do Cherry MY switches have the same mounting holes as a Cherry MX?

Thanks! To me the mounting pins look to be different different. Can you confirm?
Posted: 23 Oct 2012, 07:13
MY is riveted, while MX is soldered and may or may not have support pins. You cant put MX on an MY plate without drilling a few hundred holes.
Posted: 23 Oct 2012, 07:18
MY boards only have Pcb on the controller. My caps snap into the metal plate, with the membrane sandwiched in between the leaf spring on the bottom of the switch and the plate. MX are no go....

What's the usual transit time for packages from Germany to the USA 7bit? Just want to double check that order CherryMX 0068 got shipped before your 2 week trip cause its been about 3 weeks now.
Posted: 23 Oct 2012, 20:04
They where marked as shipped before I went off, so I guess they got lost.Soulpyre wrote:What's the usual transit time for packages from Germany to the USA 7bit? Just want to double check that order CherryMX 0068 got shipped before your 2 week trip cause its been about 3 weeks now.
I ship again in a few days...

I'm wondering the same thing about my stuff : |
Posted: 23 Oct 2012, 22:38
I sent a PM to CherryMX with an order half an hour ago, but forgot to include my e-mailaddress. I immediately edited the message though and added it, but I haven't heard anything since then. Is this normal, or did I mess up the bot?

Hey 7bit check pm please.
Posted: 24 Oct 2012, 02:28
Is there any way to confirm that mine has been shipped? I don't know if you shipped before or after you left. I just want to make sure you didn't forget about me

So im new to all this: would i have to order a cherry box if i wanted switches?
and what exactly are these cherry locks for, i mean ive read the article in the wiki for it but i cannot figure out where it might be used.

you don't have to order a box, it is just a geeky thing to have if you keep a stockpile of switches.bounce wrote:So im new to all this: would i have to order a cherry box if i wanted switches?

you use the locks a key that you want to act as a toggle, e.g, if you had one on a Shift key, shift would stay activated until you pressed it again to unlock it. back in the olden days, caps lock switches were like this.
