[IC] Fosen Switches

Interest Check

UPDATE: GB will open on January 6th at noon CST and stay open until January 20th, 11:59 CST. Estimated delivery date (to you) will roughly be by the end of February. I was informed that the factory will be shut down for almost a month due to Chinese New Years.

 

Important Edit: The switch housing has switched colors and now looks like this. Very similar to Gateron clear tops.

Pricing will be around the same, but will try to keep it as low as possible.

Instead of 110 packs like the original GB, I'm aiming to sell in whatever amounts you want starting @ $0.40 per switch. Shipping will be around $15 International, $8 CONUS, and $5 within Canada shipped in padded envelopes. For those that just want to try them out, I'll work out a pricing for sample packs (5 switches) + shipping.

MOQ will be 5,000 total switches. If we hit 10,000 the price per switch will drop down to $0.35.

 

Edit2: Please include how many switches in your comment (rough estimate).

Edit3: Looks like there's a decent amount of interest. No where near the 5k MOQ but I'll see what I can do. The pricing for under 5k switches is a bit high. I'll have to get in touch with the manufacturer and see how much shipping will be plus other expenses. Also waiting to see if the design can be changed to allow for switch-top removal and also to see if the color can be changed back to the old iconic taffy blue. This of course is a not-for-profit GB. I just wanted to buy some of these switches myself. If the GB is green-lit, any extras will be first used to cover incidentals (broken ones, missing ones, etc) and the rest will be distributed as free sample packs here on r/mm via raffle in a later post (if we get that far). Just wanted to be transparent.

Edit4: So I've spoken with both u/evolize (owner of mechkeys.ca) and u/XX7 (owner of Mech27.com & also the previous GB coordinator) and I have both their blessings. They plan to sell Fosen switches near the end of February. For those that want to join the GB, the pricing will be lower than retail pricing. I will open the GB with a form for ordering and a timeline once the manufacturer gets back to me about the color and the possibility of switch-top removability.
