Go to solution Solved by loccilucas,

My friend has an old keyboard with Cherry MX Super black switches in, it requires 150g of force to push down one key! I was wondering if I there is any keyboard I could buy with these. My friend bought his some time ago and cant remember!

I could be wrong, but I don't think they do super black switches anymore.

If you want heavy switches, you might wanna go with Greens or clears.

They're pretty hard to find :/ I got my cherry m greens abroad since they aren't available in the European region :(

I'm pretty sure super black keyswitches are only used in space bars, not the entire keyboard.

Give up now, I've looked and not found any modern keyboards that feature them or any of the other really heavy switches.

Gateron makes 150g rated linear cherry compatible switches. You'll have to build your own, or swap the switches on a retail board.

Have to go through an agent like taobaoring to order. 

 

You might still be able to order some 120g springs here http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=55888.0

main(i){for(;i<101;i++)printf("Fizz\n\0Fizzz\bBuzz\n\0%d\n"+(!(i%5)^!!(i%3)*3)*6,i);}

They stopped amking them in 2012. I have like 60 of them. Your best bet would be to buy some korean springs, or find vendors on Geekhack or /mechanicalkeyboards
