Qwertykeys published its own build guide for the QK75, which is what I used when I built mine. I tried to post the link but the Auto Mod bot deleted my post. If you google "QK75 build guide" you can find it.

Thanks. I Googled KS-3 and these appear to be KS-3 Whites, which are 35g linears but not silent. (Oddly, Gateron's own webpage for the KS-3 Full Black series doesn't even list Whites as one of the available varieties.)

This is great. I hate overly-light switches (my favorite spring is 67g) and I hate linears, so now I have a set of 35g linears. Looking on the bright side, at least I won't be tempted to buy a new keyboard to put these switches into.

EDIT: Here's where I found the KS-3 Whites. And I accidentally typed "like" instead of "hate" originally.

They have the Gateron logo on the top housing. They are clearly linear. The only Gateron switch I can find online that looks like these are the Gateron Silent Clears. However, I put one into a board that otherwise has Ajazz Kiwis and these aren't any quieter than the Kiwis -- just higher pitched -- so I would consider it a stretch to call them "silent."
