Day 1: these are neat! I'll join the drop.
Day 2: is one going to be enough? I better get one of each.
Day 3: everything is fine

Day 10: 104 for a full-size board

Don't get your hopes up; I don't know if the bank will give me a second mortgage in time.

is there artisan keycaps available for big switches? I am wondering how do I make this as a power button on my pc?

it seems like the idea of designing circuit boards, printed or otherwise, is intimidating to you. it's actually very simple, assuming you know anything about electronics at all, have a soldering iron, etc. there's a lot of tutorials on youtube. i highly recommend you demystify the process for yourself! at the least, it's going to save you money and time if something simple breaks in your home, compared to getting a technician - especially if the warranty is expired.
i made a pcb when i was 14. a pcb is only as complicated as the circuit you want to make. (mine was a simple sensing circuit with a transistor to switch a light and buzzer on.) admittedly the pcb etching fluid was there already, as was the FR4 substrate, but you can buy those online, and even make the fluid at home. here's a little guide which follows the same process i did. https://www.sparkfun.com/news/2116
but even better than that, if you need a one off circuit board... you don't need to print anything. (not that hooking up a switch like this to a motherboard is difficult, as many people have already said.) you can use some veroboard

dolljointshuh, i did not expect that picture to get put into the body of my text, especially not in the middle of my sentence! but oh well. it's certainly easier to have it right there.

I want at least one of these. Let's calculate price: (25 + 18.04) * 1.25 (VAT) + 12 (Fees) = $65.8

Why don't you pay for a freight forwarder or organize a proxy yourself like China does for big keycap set drops?

JohnklacksBetter brush up on your handwiring skills! Only real issue is finding a mounting plate.

kolokoyPlease please please make a guide when you make this! I want to be that guy as well.

AkumaKuronoSince keyswitches are momentary switches already, all you'd need to do is wire up the same leads from the power switch on your case.
Although seems like a big switch would be really easy to accidentally hit...

Just got my clicky switch, and I'm a bit dissapointed that it doesn't use the MX blue mechanism: the click is just made by a piece of spring wire on the outside. It does NOT have the MX Blue slider.

https://i.imgur.com/mxUoqg5.png Massdrop still pretending that the MSRPs they come up with are true/accurate. Doesn't change that this drop is cheaper than the normal price, but lying about MSRP to make people think they're getting a better deal is kinda sketch.

Free shipping for US buyers... so when you factor in the *$18.25* Massdrop wants for international shipping... dang

sevenseacatInternational shipping is definitely more expensive than I would like it to be, but unfortunately there’s nothing we can really do about those costs.

I wish whoever did the photo copy for massdrop would put a hand or a banana or something next to these so we can get a feel for how big they are.
