no problem.. come to my shop la..

actually, kinda regretted doing it this way..

Now my left hand finger type with less force applied to the keys so more relax coz its all red switches while my right finger have hard time typing my 7G now coz all black switches..

waiting for my switches from storm
will arrive on firday~ wee~~~

Haha.. which keyboard of your's will u be modding?

If someone mods my whole 7G to all blue switches. I'll love him forever. lol.

Just need to desolder everything and change.
Taking MX switches out is not that hard compared to ALPS switches. I desoldered my AT101W with black ALPS, took me a quite a while to do that, and in the process, damaged a few PCB traces

you get me the switches i can do it for u.. my soldering skill nt tat bad tho.. haha..

But thing is, might be easier to just get a Filco with blue switches like that. Instead of desoldering everything and resoldering everything. See lar.

I finished my soldering and desoldering in 30 minutes.. so wont be long to do all these..

all items shipped ady

btw, all soldering works shouldn't heat ur solder point too long
which might lead to melt down of ur switch

Nice
It took me quite fast to desolder these switches, but taking them out was a real pain due to the solder still sticking to the traces. Any pointers on that?

please wait, i'll send a mail to them and wait for them to respond.

to you have a solder sucker? they are good in removing any leftover solders.

Get a better soldering station - more reason to buy something new!
And every engineer should be equipped with the following:

1. Multimeter
2. Soldering station
3. Oscilloscope (optional)

my PLU G2000. since i have brown,blue,red,clear & black now. will try to get some references on which switch to put based on the pressing force of our fingers,

You did use a desoldering pump to suck up the melted metal solder right?

bro, dun forget my refund

Today, i was buying a kb for my gf. So i was going around testing few keyboards in lowyat. Then i saw this Filco kb in Viewtech. so i just tried it, and omg this is such great feeling when u press it. I really want to get 1 but out of my budget.

Any other similiar kb to it that is cheaper?

hi....anyone know where i can find filco blank keycaps? or other type of keycaps? thx a lot....

for your info, i have one extra set
Filco blank black keycap

Yes and Yes, a brand new one at that. Prolly need some metal braid to go with the residual solder stuck between the pin and the side of hole
Maybe my skills are just not up to par, practice makes perfect.

My next mod is probably on a plate mounted one for ergo clears, no soldering iron needed.

Yea, maybe some more practice.. haha.. but i know when you solder and wanna solder it nicely, you can use the soldering paste flux to help your heating gun..

It will remove the dried and burnt solder on the tip to make a cleaner solder and better solder..



refer to my pic, theres a oil paste at the side.. RM3 only.. can last for years soldering stuff..
