Hey all,
I’m looking at getting some high quality (consistent weight) springs to keyclack.com, but felt like running this as a GB first to bring better prices :).
This is just an IC, as we are still in development for other weights, and adding gold plating without sacrificing quality. However, pricing is finalized based on the highest spec, and with the gold plating.

Weight is measured by bottom out force (weight to make the spring go all the way down).
Here are the details of springs

  • 110 Units Per bag

  • 24k Gold Plated

  • Weights available: 45g, 55g, 60g, 62g,67g

  • Weights in development: 78g, 110g, 120g, 150g [these may not be made if interest is low].

  • Pricing*

  • $8 (GB price. Will retail for $12). Does not include shipping.

  • Pricing is based on the MOQ of 250 units of each weight. If we can get to 60% of the MOQ for each weight, I’m okay with getting the difference.

  • *SPECIAL NOTE:**Payments will run through Keyclack.com under PRE-ORDER. Pre-order means that orders will be accepted, but payments will not CHARGED until we are ready to go into production. Other items cannot be ordered with this.

  • Timeline & Potential Schedule*

  • IC Check

  • Sample Sets sent to me End of June

  • Sample Sets sent out to community members for quality assurance/quality check

  • If QA/QC is good, we’ll move forward to production.

  • Production should start 1-2 weeks after QA/QC, if sample sets are good. If not, the dates will be delayed by at least 2 weeks as we redevelop them.

  • Production ends 1 week after.

  • Received in USA 1 week after production.

  • Orders sent out 1 week after that in the order they are received.

  • FAQ*

  • How good will these springs be?

  • Quality will always be my /#1 priority. That’s why I’m sending out samples to people that have done multiple spring swaps, know their switches, and ofc, know their mech. I am not going to say that these springs are better, or higher quality than other springs.

  • How is it $8?

  • $1 overhead per spring pack for packing & sorting into 110 unit bags.
    Spring cost. Shipping cost from factory in HK to USA for about 15KG via tracked DHL.

  • How did you hit this price point?

  • Prices for GBs are a lot lower than what you think they are.

  • Where is this made?

  • Hong Kong

  • How is this able to be made so fast?

  • I work directly with factories & one of their mechanical engineers, and one of their sales staff in order to have fast turnaround times. We chat everyday for at least 1 hour over the phone.

  • Update /#1: 6/17/16*
    Weights are still in development, and the most popular weight selection at the moment are:
    62G, 67G, 78G, 110G.
    then they are followed by..
    150G, 55G, 120G, and the others are lacking.
    Will most likely go with top 4 weights for final run if we can get there.
    Thanks for the support ~ please fill out the form if you haven’t.
