One's where you install switches with stronger tension. I've mentioned multiple times earlier in this thread what I like but no idea if that interests you.

I looked through all H's recommendations. Problem is none of them are much different from the Cherry reds. 40G vs. 60g isn't worth buying a new board.
Not when I've got two buckling springs I havent used, and, I can't find decent switches like Kalih Navy box ...

this one looks pretty good, but, heavy switches?
They have a bunch, but none really heavy.

Still, no Navy Blue keys...

Anyone have another key that is as heavy as the Navy Blues??

I guess I'm a bit confused. Are you looking for just the switches or a complete keyboard with your desired switches?

I don't know what the navy blue switches you're referring to or what weight/tension you're interested in

I spilled wine on Corsair. New lighted buckling spring keyboard. Can't post it.
Unicomp M with a usb light over it. Best way to get a lighted, buckling spring keyboard.

I was hoping to find a 96-100% full sized, with heavy keys, similar to the buckling spring Model M I'm typing on. I would like a backlit keyboard with heavy switches, that are similar to the buckling spring keyboards, but maybe a little quieter.
Wired is good. Am I forgetting anything? Lubed would be good, too. The model M feels a little scratchy.

Amazon has wholesale sets of so many Kailh BOX switches -- I think they're genuine, there's a link to visit the Kailh store on the listing -- I got a box of 110 BOX Navy switches to replace the Gateron Reds on my K4 Pro with as I'm tired of fat fingering every switch and no longer care about making noise, and with a 10% off coupon, I paid about 45 bucks for it. I also grabbed a set of cheap pudding doubleshot PBT caps to show the backlighting through the lettering as I'm really tired of these front shine-through ones, they're difficult to read. I figure at 13 bucks if they suck I don't miss out on much, and the lettering is clear and not gamer-y which I like, though usually I prefer SA or DSA profile caps these say they're "XDA profile" whatever that means. I can't find what I did with my old DSA kit, and this will tide me over until I can find them I guess.
