TS selling ducky KB wat ... 9008 model .... come with 黑同刻....

See the metal bar ? thats a Filco stabilizer that makes it more stable because it's a longer key than the normal ones. Stabilizers are used for shift, caps, enter and spacebars. However Filco stabilizers require some care when removing key caps because the metal grippers hook to the keys beneath. If you pull straight out, you can break them.



A cherry keyboard stabilizer looks like this

See instead of metal grippers, they have rubber stabilizers that make it easier to replace/install keycaps. Cherry stabilizers are more sturdy/durable than Filcos Costar ones.



Whats ts ?

TS = topic starter ~ ^^ mean u ~

haha ts never use short form like this before ^^
anyway nice explanation for stabilizer i did learnt something

Yeah man. Even if you don't replace keycaps until they wear out, you still need to remove keys to clean out the dirt from time to time.

Hm actually i am not selling any Ducky. Small Walrus is in his mo

I did however make a suggestion that if we did our own Malaysian bulk, we can get it for a better price for Malaysian buyers.


Another interesting fact. PCB mounted switches are much easier to remove if you decide to replace old switches or do some modding to use different switches. Less sturdier than soldering method.

The alternative to pcb mounted, is the soldered kind which is sturdier but harder to remove unless your good at soldering.

Here is a guide by someone else how to remove the stabilizer keycaps for the Ducky which uses cherry stabilizers.

Here's how to remove:

Shift : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZWYYa6kfhE
Another angle of Shift : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxZ0Xoaio7I


I'm also noob, but if use regular keycap puller and your own hands, it looks much simpler than if you were to try it on a Costar keyboard stabilizer.

when i look at all this mech kb here without palm rest is no problem but when come to my own 7g..i did try to remove the palm rest it really feel weird and uncomfortable for me..just feel like the edge of the key cap is hurting my hand at that height when my hand on the desk without palm rest

I'm personally more interested in Cherry Blue switches, but it would be great if I can try both Blue and Brown personally. I will most likely not like Black since I mostly type, not hardcore gaming.

typing preference is dependent on the user 1
i prefer no click switches
although i think mx black for long period typing is tiring
i rather mx black than blue
after i get used to mx black..even though i type on normal rubber dome keyboard will feel the click is weird..some more mx blue is tactile clicky and really noisy ^^..but haven try out any brown switches keyboard yet..but sounds good for me

TOY STORY

btw if TS goin to do business here, i strongly recommend to bring in custom keycaps as well, especially KBC

haha yea, also interested in brown switches. its like a middle ground between blue and black.

>-<; no no. Not interested in making a business hehe.

mx brown had done a very good compromising for both typist and gamer
but think won get any brown switches kb in very soon unless can sell my 7g at a very good price

since you bringing mass order for ducky, then help the rest to bring in KBC keycap as well, heard they goin to come out 7G custom keycap soon

if got im interested go get laser etched key cap for my 7g

what is kbc?
