Since he is playing o2jam, using non NKRO keyboard is not really recommended, so don't get the Razer BWU

If want cheap and NKRO, get the sidewinder X4 which are rubber domes.
Otherwise need to get more expensive keyboards, which I don't think he'd be willing to pay, plus if you never got anything from taobao via agent before, the process is kinda intimidating the first time.

HHKB huh
Where are you getting it from anyway?

You'll need to unscrew everyting and pop the case open with a Butter Knife and desolder the spring.
I find the case to be pretty hard to put back on, was sweating really hard when putting it back on too.

Note: This voids your warranty

Finally they arrived
PANIC and X%&#! from previous group buy organized by Cyclone

Time to mod the rest into Cherry MX stems

3M wrist rest gel.
WR310BE Gel filled wrist rest for keyboard RM74.30

Maybe you can give them a call.

Don't think Ducky has any of these

NT$3,590~RM381

Storm88's price is actually really good, unless you are going to taiwan directly to buy it

And some DK1008XM at NT$1090 with click and non clicky xm-alps

Yes, ALPS don't age well. They are pretty stiff. Plus Black Alps is like 65g activation force
You can lubricate the contacts but careful in doing it because the lubrication might stop some switches from working if there's are too much lubrication apply

2 G3000 NKRO for Rm750?????
RM375 each. ROFL, good luck with his sales really, plus still got people buying. OMG

qtan is expensive since we got local taobao agents/mail forwarding service

Btw, saw you buying some Topre caps. Mind sharing which keyboard you are using?

Plus, if you can get it from taobao, already can get it for about 370USD shipped.
Still cost half an iPhone though.
Sell off 1 Kidney already can buy iPhone, iPad and MBP together, so 1 kidney can allow you to buy 1 whole Realforce family maybe

WD40. I sprayed on the stem. Too much spraying cause it to not work


Sad to hear that. Maybe you can open it up and test the switch with a multimeter first.

Cherry Blacks, those do a good job stopping you from bottoming out, plus they are much silent too.

You can program them using Autohotkey not?

Why not just get dental bands and give it a try. Those thing are cheap and available in pharmacies

Model M from taobao, Rm100+ shipped via agent. Don't get too cheap ones, they might be too yellow. The 59G I got from Taobao was alright, not the best. Sometimes, if you are lucky you can get it in a pretty good condition, like my other Model M. But it sure beats buying from eBay, where the price of shipping = price of keyboard.

If you die die also want better ones, go Geekhack, theres a guy selling bolt modded 1391401 for a rather low price. He told me the shipped price was $90. From the pictures, it looks to be in a rather good condition

Was considering doing a bolt mod myself, so didn't bother with it


RM50 for them to ship back here isn't bad, but maybe you can try to contact inpad to ship it to you instead. Air Parcel from Taiwan is about RM40~ish. As to shipping to them, just use Pos Malaysia, much cheaper.



Buy backup from inpad. The NT$1090 ALPS ducky. Btw, FILCO blanks fits Ducky nicely

Actually it is still cheaper than compared to say, the other aluminium keyboard, the Type Now Solid, which goes for RM1000+ shipped.

I never told people about my FILCOs, but my relative's faces when I told them how much I got the Model M from Taobao was priceless.

At first they were like : Wow such old keyboard, how much you got it for?
And then they were like : You got it for Rm100?? Are you nuts?

OT: @WSL, try call Dell and see if they are willing to refund you the difference from the coupon discount. Should be doable if you your monitor is still within the return time window

Oh well too bad then. Could've be a good reason to get a drill to bolt mod them and then sell them for cheaps.
I've tried asking some PC recycling centers via email but thus far no luck on getting them

EDIT: Maybe we can do a group buy and ask recycling centers to source them in bulk for us

Xarmor U9 (Chinese Keycaps Non Backlit) for NT$1890 + Shipping (NT$590)

Ask Cyclone to do a bulk since he knows them koreans better s
FYI, 89000KRW = RM250

Can't confirm this but the construction looks like DK1008 type topcover-less
