Mechanical Keyboard Sample Kit

[Baplad]

I purchased a cherry switch sampler kit to test out which switch I liked the best before purchasing a keyboard.

Just wondering if anyone else is interested in trying this out so you can have a feel of each switch.

Sample kit includes (Red, Black, Blue, Brown)

Also includes a small bag of o-rings to test also.

If we are going to go to the effort of mailing it to people to try it, why not get the PRO Sampler with all eight switches?

EDIT: oh, you've already bought it? thats a very generous offer to the community then

Yup already purchased and played with!

The reason I didn't go for the PRO Sampler was a lot manufacturers haven't even made green/clears etc an option for their boards yet

I will make up a list sometime this evening and try and get in touch with people about arranging delivery to each other


If you edit your original posts with your location it might be easier to work out a little route to get to people quicker etc.

 

[Baplad]

the rainforest has them 4 switch@ £9 and the 8switch @ £18

for those who wana be impatient XD.

Indeed,

Just seen you are in NI also, drop me a trust message with your address and you can be the first since your closest!

I'll get it off to you tomorrow morning if you drop me info tonight

 

[Baplad]

Right that's it off to the first person

Will be with pigeonguyuk sometime this afternoon so once he's had time to test it can roll onto the next person, I will update my OP with peoples names & locations.

 

[Baplad]

OP Updated with a list,

If I have missed anyone or anyone else is interested just drop a message here and I will keep the list updated.

 

[Baplad]

I'm in.

Add me to the list. Very kind of you. Could spice things up and say everyone has to add a mystery gift, max value £1

I have a brown, but never used anything else

Pembrokeshire

Done,

Added you third in the list, sort of have an anti-clockwise route on the go

 

[Baplad]

Sorry folks, haven't been keeping up to date with this thread,

Done my back in on Friday and have been in bed since, will get in touch with pigeon to see if he has had a chance to test out and then try and arrange for it to go onto the next person.

 

[Baplad]

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with this thread, herniated disc in my back and haven't been able to sit down for over a week now!

Good to see its still moving along

 

[Baplad]

Hey this is a great idea, I like to be on the list also. Want to get my first mechanical, but have no idea what switches I would prefer.

Reading, Uk

Added to OP

 

[Baplad]

Original post updated added people who asked to be added to the list

 

[Baplad]

What's everyone's thought who have tried them all so far, I'd be getting a board for gaming and forum use, mainly gaming and quiet is always a bonus.

If you are after a gaming board I would go for Reds or Browns with a full set of o-rings.

I ended up going with browns as I preferred the little bit of extra weight needed and feedback from the switch over the reds.

I would go red/brown over the rest.

Blue is just waaaay to clicky for my liking and the blacks are pretty heavy to press.

 

[Baplad]

Just checking to see, who this is with currently?

Not sure if it has moved on to the next person yet?

 

[Baplad]
