Super impressed with the Gateron GB which generated orders for more than 115K switches.
I was wondering about Greetech switches, which are now being used in the Das Keyboard 4C series. There are not many mentions of them in the forums - does anyone have a Das Keyboard 4C that can expound on their feel and quality? Has anyone managed to get their hands on these switches separate from a Das 4C?
Looking at their site ( http://www.greetech.com/en/products.asp?enBigClassName=GT02%20Keyswitch) and at Alibaba pages (such as http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/2015-key-switch-keyswitch-for-keyboard_60074508452.html) it seems they offer Red, Blue, Brown and Black versions, and if I’m not mistaken they offer both plate and PCB mounted versions, and versions with built-in diodes (it seems to me that the version with built-in diodes cannot support LEDs as they show a different PCB layout for those - although without seeing them, who knows). There also is an RGB LED version that can support the four pins of an RGB LED (I’ve attached a PDF of the spec of their RGB switch).
Their MOQ is 6000 switches (which is their carton size, so multiples of 6000 might be required) although on some version it says 5000. It seems like the costs shown go down as low as 10 cents per switch, although I don’t know what quantities or which version of the switches that price relates to.
They offer to send 110 switches as a free sample to people interested in ordering. I don’t know if that could include different versions of the switches, or if they would send 110 switches of each version, etc.
I’m not located in a good country to do re-shipping of switches from, but I wanted to see if people might be interested in pursuing these switches, and then we can find out who could handle the re-shipping. I’m perfectly happy to hand this off to someone who has done a group buy before and has the experience to do it well. I’m just interested in gauging interest in the switches and to try to get things started.
