Hey all. My Model 1 has a couple of bad switches, and I’m having trouble finding replacements in Europe. Might anyone have a few (maybe 5) they could post over to Ireland? ---

I’d be interested in 1-5 as well, in Switzerland… but indeed they seem to be quite difficult to find, unfortunately. ---

I already had a failing keyswitch of a modifier key, but now my ‘n’ keyswitch just died. I’m also on the hunt for new key switches in Europe (the Netherlands). I need at least 2, more so I have a supply. Is there maybe an alternative switch that we could use? ---

@seafoodbaker @The-Compiler While not exactly the same, there are quiet lineair keyswitches for sale here: [Matias Quiet Linear Key Switch Module : KS102Q : The Keyboard Company](https://www.keyboardco.com/product/matias-quiet-linear-key-switch-module.asp) I just ordered a few and intend to switch around keyswitches so less common used keys have the linked keyswitches and place the removed original switches on the failing ones. It’s a solution, though not perfect. ---

Or these, [HS101Q](https://www.keyboardco.com/product/matias-quiet-click-key-switch-modules.asp) which I believe are the same switches. I’ve bought some of the loud clicky switches from the same company. ---

At least when I tried Cherry MX and Kailh Red, I didn’t like them at all - they feel like a cheap rubber dome keyboard to me. Also, this isn’t really an option when you want to just swap out some dead keys - it would be quite odd to have a different feeling for just a couple of letters. The same company does offer Quiet Click switches as well (as mentioned by @dshields), but those are currently out of stock. I signed up for mail notifications once that changed, though. ---

These are Matias Red, a newer version of the Quiet click. Feel should be similar. I do agree that there will be a feel difference, in my case I can cope with that by placing these new switches at the LED and PROG keys, and using those good ones to replace my faulty ones. ---

Hmmm, the Matias Red are [described by them](https://matias.ca/switches/linear/) as linear and designed for stenography. I don’t see how they would be a newer version of the quiet click ones. I just got a mail from Keyboard Co informing me that their [Matias Quiet Clicks](https://www.keyboardco.com/product/matias-quiet-click-key-switch-modules.asp) should be back in stock on March 14th. So I suppose that would be an option, shipping for 5-10 switches seems to be around 11 GBP.
