Question on switches

[CAPSNOSPACEParticipant]

Are we able to choose Gateron switches?

Is lubing and stickering still an option if I were to order a keyboard preassembled? If yes, how do we request for it?

[GraczParticipant]

Yup, you can request lubing + stickering. All you have to do is to find your PCB, select the switches you want and then change “Lubing and Stickering” to Lubing + Stickering, then choose the spring you want and sticker colour. BUT it’s expensive as f*ck (because it takes alot of time), so you could always do it on your own :P.

Thanks Gracz !
(But please refrain from using a F word ^^;)

Hi Capsnospace.

Thanks for your interests in our products.

We don’t offer Gateron switches. Sorry…

Lubing and stickering are available, if you choose those option in a PCB item.

Thanks.

Thanks for the prompt reply Hojin

One last question, for the R and Non R, it is just personal preference right?

I suppose there isn’t any difference in performance/aesthetics whatsoever?

[CAPSNOSPACEParticipant]

Oh and by the way, may I know what is the reason for Mx Blues not having the option of lubeing and stickering?

[GraczParticipant]

About the R and Non R:
The only difference is the led position – R has leds on the top of the switch, Non-R has them on the bottom of the switch.

Hi Gracz, Thanks again ^^

Hi Capsnospace.

In addition to Gracz’s answer,
Yes I think it’s personal perferece to decide which in-switch direction you choose.
In terms of aesthetic and efficienty, I don’t know which one is better.

And for MX-brown switche..
In my experience, I got to know that MX-brown MX-blue switch keeps best as it is.
So we don’t recommend you to put a sticker on or lube it.

Thanks.
