cherry mx blue rgb Where do I get cherry mx blue rgb switches

[PinnySkenis]

Where do I get a set of cherry mx blue rgb switches? The ones that have a see-through design instead of one that are black. NOT A CHERRY MX BLUE KEYBOARD, JUST THE RGB SWITCHES.

Hey, so I did some investigating and your most likely going to have to buy aftermarket switches from China. RGB blue switches are becoming increasingly a rare find, yet here's the link to one that I found:

Also MassDrop is also selling these:

MX Browns are the future... indeed it is rare nowadays post above seems a good way to go.

The LEDs are on the board. If you're looking into building a board get ready to spend upwards of $100+ on parts and $100 alone on the soldering set.

You can buy cheap gateron (cherry mx clones) for cheap on places like AliExpress or banggood.

Just went and bought a set of these to replace some switches that lost the strong click due to liquid spills (cleaned and work fine but not as clicky) thanks for the link, consequently can update thread if OP is willing to wait about 3 weeks

Depending on skill/patience, the job could be done with about $40 worth of soldering gear, though a proper station is always better. I remember my $15 20W Weller pencil iron days

the switches aren't, as stated previously the LED's are part of the board circuitry itself (at least true in my case and likely most). the switches simply are designed with cutout for said LED to shine through and the design of current KB switches match that of the ones linked that I ordered.

While these aren't Cherry, or Blue switches despite the URL, these are clear. Unfortunately, you need to find your own LEDs for them, but they're sold on the website.

Well they finally arrived two days ago. Legit gateron switches. So far only needed to replace the spacebar otemu switch on my keyboard but the gaterons from that site are completely fine.
