I want to buy switches for an up-coming project. I would like some help with picking specific switch type and a seller, that ships within/to EU.
I have used most Cherry MX types, but new switches are too scratchy for me. I like vintage blacks and browns the best, preferably with Korean 62g-68g springs. Clears are too tactile for me, when I'm not typing, but I like their springs... "Ghost black" is another switch I like.
Now I want to try something new and don't want to spend a fortune on genuine new Cherry MX. I have been reading a lot about the new clones, mainly Gateron, that they are smoother than new Cherry, cheaper and more tactile (browns, blues). I have read that Gateron makes "ergo clears" for ZealPC, but I heard there were some quality problems with them. I have found little information about the other clones from Gaote (Outemu?), Greetech and so on. I have only used linear Kailh switches and they felt like garbage, much scratchier than new Cherry.
Finally, my questions: what switches are worth consideration? where to get them with shipping to EU?
So far, I have found the following:
Have I missed any other options? I know there is Taobao, but my head wants to explode upon only looking at it. I remember there many of these switches have been on Massdrop and there was a Shadovved's group buy with very good prices... will any of this repeat any time soon?
