If you want to sponsor a mechanical keyboard for it to be passed around, then be my guest.
The more items to pass around, the better.

Switch Try Numpad is Ready !!!!

Anyone who wants to try them switches before buying anything, PM me and I'll add you to the list
To test is free, but you will need to pay shipping to the next person

Credits to Lucidlts for contribution to adding Red switches onto the board instead of my Ghetto Reds (Black + Brown Spring)

This numpad will allow you test out the keyfeel of the Cherry MX switches.
As to the noise part, the numpad has a rather hollow construction, and the noise has been amplified and makes a louder noise on the Clacking of the keys than other keyboards.





The RULES

Numpad Layout

PLease don't quote pictures, or post

Yes, the board is still functional, hence no cutting.
Plus, just a piece of PCB, would not be good enough to get a closer keyfeel.
Numpad is as close as you can get without going to a keyboard.


@noobandroid,
The requirement is for anyone joining to ship it to the next guy, whichever method possible.
Recommended to use poslaju/posdaftar whenever possible.
PosBungkusan will be too slow.

The person shipping to you will also have to pay more to get it shipped to you.
If you don't want to pay for shipping, you can opt out from this.

Yeah.
But I don't have any Red stems lying around. It's as close as you can get.
Clear + 65g springs is much more springier than with brown springs. Don't have the sticking feeling that you are talking about.

I did blue + black spring since i have the blue switch lying around and 2 normal blue switches are more than enough.

lightest are 45g korean.
I only have 65g

The most expensive stuff I've ever buy off Taobao was a FILCO, it came in nicely packed.
All 45g for ANSI layout is available in 86u/87u/104u
All 30g is also available for JIS layout.

That's why i stopped preaching.
Instead, I show off my colorful keyboards instead

Thus far, my relatives that tried out my Model M said that it is very nice to type on.

PS/2 type.
have a blue cube ready for all purposes. But a RM10 Ps2->USB converter works fine as well, if you aren't picky anyways.


This came in today

I use denture tabs.
Pop in 3 or 4 in a bag, fill em with water, wait for 30minutes and rinse.
No scrubbing needed.

Works great every time.

Best not to apply excessive heat to your keycaps.
ABS keycaps may warp. My friend put it into those type of tumble dryer and it warped his super thick wyse keycaps. He was not pleased.

I found that leaving them under a fan, upside down to be rather effective.
Best to shake out the water in the stem to let it dry faster.

Cherry MX are easier.
Try cleaning Model M caps. For 2 piece keycaps, it is double the work per keyboard.

@Cyclone, have the keys arrived yet?

How often? When you feel like it.
The other part, can buy lint free brush, hold the keyboard upside down, and then swipe. All the dead skins and dirt will come off easily.
If you are paranoid about cleanliness, then use a lint free cloth and add some Rubbing alcohol to it, and wipe. Or use cyberclean

In other news, the numpad is in circulation. First one of the namelist is going to get it soon.
Anyone that wants to try it out before buying any type of Cherry MX Mech Keyboards, and wants to try it, send me a PM.

I don't use alcohol to wipe the keys. What i meant is the keyboard plate where a lot of stuff tend to accumulate.

If you guys are concerned about getting denture tabs, then some water and dishwasher soap would do the trick as well.

You can probably consider throwing away your AMD CPU or Intel/Micron/Crucial SSD or Any SSD using Micron/Intel NAND chips away, if you have any.
Chances are they are made in SG. The wafers anyway.

A lot of people also do not trust some made in Malaysia products if you noticed.

That's what you said.
I'd pop in a Cherry DS on it and it'll feel just like home

Though, Cherry at Rm190, without metal plate, just remind yourself that you are paying for Rm190 worth of a keyboard. Don't expect too much out of this.

Original G80-3000 Capslock are off centered.
The G80-3800 should be centered. Which is fine by me.

Most of them are made by adesso DSI - Thanks Human10
I can't recall the model number off the top of my head.

I think he likes the all-in one feel of the 7g armrest.

Switch try numpad list is wide open.
Not much interest locally it seems. Maybe I should consider sending it overseas already.

Lucidlts has volunteered to mod in the Red Keys, instead of the current Gettho Reds
Many thanks to him.

If you want to join, just say yes and I'll add you to the list, and it'll reach you soon.

Added to the list

I think numpad '9' and '6' would be a fine place to mod the Reds in.
If you don't mind, could you please take a new picture when have done modding it so that i can update the pictures?
