    Are you willing to sell?

    My previous misses were always to do with money sucking events happening alongside the group buy and me always airing on the very safe side money wise. I am hoping for more success in the future, though it does seem like I am in the process of buying a bunch of stuff right now :rock:

    If you want a Pure Pro, I can sort out a good deal for a Bit-Tech bro! :rock:

    Domes are tactile; you press and can feel the dome give way as the key actuates. Linear switches feel very different. Any MX switch will feel great vs domes, but it's very much a preference thing.

    A very rough guide:

    Reds - light linear
    Browns - light semi-tactile
    Blues - light, clicky & tactile
    Blacks - heavy linear
    Greens - heavy, clicky and tactile
    Clears - heavy, tactile

    The Pure Pro is the same manufacturer, I think, but I would recommend a Poker II out of those two because it's easier to get caps for the Poker layout. It's a small thing, but I'd have gone mad by now with a Pure.

    I looked at these too, but I expect they might be more expensive than I would like. CM boards are fairly well received, because they're cheap but solid.

    I don't need them right away, but where is the best place to source blues, greens or clears from? 7bit doesn't seem to have blues anyway...

    Boards on eBay seem to be blacks or really expensive!

    I have 104 lightly used cleanly desoldered plate blues I want to get rid of. I could do $40 shipped to GB, PM me if you are interested.

    I'm definitely interested. Are you happy to mark them under value? If it's below £15 (about $22 to be safe) I avoid import costs, which would save me a bundle :D

    Alternatively, what's the ETA on your black on black dye subs? Could ship them together to save you some effort as I don't need the switches right away :)

    Paid / PM'd, thanks Ivan :)

    While you're here, what are the chances of you running a classic beige set sometime soon? I'm thinking similar to the Originative sets, but not winkeyless. Bonus points for blue legends as an option in the same buy!

    Oh I don't know... I heard some rumor that they may be available from somewhere in the near future. After Dolch I think I want to try Commodore style for my next GMK undertaking.

    I'm just scoping the scene for the moment; won't have the cash spare until I finish a job in July. I'll get in touch with you then see what pretty things you have. :thumb:
