I have a keyboard with gateron blue clear top (black base, clear top) switches. It has a few switches that no longer work consistently so I’m looking for some replacements. The keyboard is backlit so I’d like to keep the clear top. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find a source for this type of switch I feel comfortable with that ships to the US. There’s ebay but it’s so hard to tell what you’re going to get. Does anyone know of a good site that ships to the US that stocks gateron clear top switches?

1upkeyboards is the only place I’ve seen them even listed, but they are out of stock. https://1upkeyboards.com/shop/switches/set-packs/switches-16-pack/

I have compared cherry blues, which also come in clear top, to the gaterons but I like the gateron feel better even though they seem not to last as long apparently.

    Oh that’s perfect, not sure why I didn’t find that when I was searching. Thanks!

      Awesome, you’re welcome! I don’t know, maybe they don’t have very good search engine optimization on their site. I didn’t find it through a search. I just happened to know that they carried Gateron switches, having bought a keyboard from them before.
