OCUK could make a small fortune opening a London branch, even with limited on-site stock and using it as a Showroom / Collection point of sorts......hint hint...

Overclockers have some keyboards on display but it's not very clear which switches are fitted. I have tried the blue and the black switches but I would really like to try the red and brown switches for making a purchase.

Alternatively, could OCUK not sell a Sampler Kit which would include the different switches, o-rings and keycaps?

Sample kits are available and are usually supplied with O-Ring dampers for those who need to make less noise or prefer a softer sensation to bottoming out

EDIT: Link WASD Sampler Kit

The WASD sampler kit is what I ordered.

The new QWERkeys sampler may be better for testing due to the base being supplied (hard to test without something solid), but I think you have to order a keycap with it. But they have some nice key caps, and it is supporting a UK buisness too

edit: They also supply MX Green and White in their sampler!
