What customers say
The MK 24K Gold Plated MX Springs 78G SPRiT Edition Pack of 100 by MK generally garners a highly positive reception among mechanical keyboard enthusiasts, who appreciate the meticulous engineering and premium materials. Customers frequently highlight the exceptional consistency of the 78G actuation force across the entire pack, a critical factor for achieving a uniform and satisfying typing experience. This consistency is a hallmark of SPRiT springs and is often cited as a primary reason for choosing this product over less precise alternatives. The 24K gold plating is not merely an aesthetic touch; users often report a noticeable reduction in spring ping and an overall smoother keypress feel, contributing to a more refined acoustic and tactile experience. Furthermore, the gold plating offers excellent corrosion resistance, assuring long-term durability and performance, which is a significant benefit for a component that undergoes constant compression. While the premium nature of these springs is undeniable, some discussions revolve around the perceived value for money. For dedicated hobbyists and those seeking to optimize every aspect of their custom keyboard build, the investment is largely considered worthwhile due to the tangible improvements in feel and sound. However, more budget-conscious users might question if the incremental benefits of gold plating justify the higher price point compared to high-quality unplated springs. Despite this, the overwhelming sentiment leans towards satisfaction, with many users expressing that these springs elevate their keyboard's performance and provide a truly premium feel. The 78G weight is particularly praised by those who prefer a heavier, more deliberate keypress, finding it ideal for both linear and tactile switch modifications. Overall, these springs are viewed as a top-tier component for serious keyboard builders, delivering on their promise of quality, consistency, and a luxurious typing experience.
Know before you buy
These springs are compatible with all standard Cherry MX style switches. As long as your keyboard uses this common switch architecture, they will fit.
No, you do not need to solder. You will need to open your switch housings to swap the springs, but the process does not require any electrical work.
The 78g bottom-out force provides a heavier, more deliberate typing experience. It is designed to feel soft and cushiony, similar to the tactile feedback of a Soft MX Clear switch.
Beyond the premium aesthetic, the gold plating provides a smooth surface finish that helps reduce friction during the compression of the spring, contributing to a more consistent feel.
Each pack contains 100 springs, which is enough to fully customize a standard full-sized 104-key keyboard or a smaller layout with a few spares left over.
