The keys aren't worth that much.

How is Rosewell RK9000 compared to Filco MT2? I've heard about its USB problem but not sure it has been fixed or not.
*
They come from the same factory.
As to QC issues , need to ask our Rosewill distributor to comment.

see the price of the CCnG base kit???
it reached $110 first day!
that is without a Geekhack key!
but maybe that is because of the center stem stepped caps lock?

Sweat now it's $150......

That's pretty crazy. But I love my CCnG.

Try without the clips, see if it is still that bad.
If true, consider to do something about the joints. Adding some lube on the clips might help too.

Any one interested to get one, can contact Kai,
I sent him money via internet transfer,
he sent it out on Monday...
I believe that the transfer wasn't completed that time,
but he already sent it out so that I received it this morning!

Great seller!

Only for more senior MKB Club Members and lower value. For keyboard cannot already.

Ebay seller wants USD15 for 10 pcs of brown. Salvaging the keys from keyboard is only RM 1.9 a pc. Pain in the @ but you'd save about 2.5X money and allows you to hone your desoldering skills

That's cause you are not looking at the right places . tongue.gif
http://www.armygroup.com.tw/shop/category-...ds_id-DESC.html

Cheaper switches, pay the expensive EMS cost, and still end up better off than desoldering the board.
Of course, minimum quantity applies.

Plus, not sure who wants to salvage them.
The Red and Black stems are useless. Only vintage blacks are good.
Brown stems might be okay, but not many modders like them. Blue stems is the only interesting one.

As to the springs, Red/Brown/Blue springs are generally thought to be nice for Ergo Clears (Clear stem with these springs), but I beg to differ. Korean 62g springs is where the fun is at. More spring to push the stem back up. Otherwise the ergo clear would feel quite sticky.



oooh lala~~

Whatever you do, do not use alcohol on any plastic or poly carbonate. It's suicide. Even on metal you have to ensure that the paint does not come off. The correct way to remove residue on plastic is to use oil based remover. Goo Gone is the safest method. WD40 is the AIO lube and cleaner, just don't use it on rubber.

Polycarbonate and clear polystyrene plastic are among the few surfaces on which to avoid using a petroleum-based product like WD-40

I think it is same force as cherry mx black with tactile and clicky sound. Currently typing with ducky cherry mx blue with mx green spacebar.

A bit heavier than blacks.
Reds feel so much softer than reds blues even though they have the same spring.

The switch tongue.gif to black springs should mean the same delta between black and greens. +5g heavier than blacks.

@Kaiser: Did you mean to say reds feel softer than browns? The bump does make a difference, doesn't it? I find the browns too sharp for my fingers. I much prefer MX clears.
*
I meant blues. As a comparison between blacks and greens. Typo there.
Wait till you try softer clears. smile.gif

QUOTE(CyntrixTech @ Oct 3 2012, 12:10 AM)
Brown feels "rough" due to the tactile part. Red is by far the best switch IMO. It's a compromise that many are willing to make though. Personally I'd take an MX blue and MX Red. One for gaming, and one (blue) is just so that I can show people that I own the most cliche mechanical keyboard (makes the most noise to show that it is a mechanical keyboard)
*
I wouldn't say that it is rough. Most calls it a bump. Reds feel more scratchy/rough on the way down due to the moment of the spring that is caused by the bottom of the red stem. Same could be felt with blacks. Blues are wonderful for typing.

If you don't know what i am talking about, put your ears close tk the seitch when it is actuated. You should hear the spring scratching the housing. This feel is translated all the way up to the key cap.

QUOTE(epiguru @ Oct 3 2012, 12:12 AM)
I'm looking for a soldering set/station for changing switches mainly, so it's small work but also quite delicate. I'd like temperature control because I want to avoid spoiling the electronics. (On the other hand, I'm OK about losing some switches.)

Does anyone have any recommendation? Something that can be purchased in Malaysia (vs importing)?
*
Things you'll need
Hakko fx888 via rs online. Not cheap.
Nice set of tweezers.
Desoldering braid lazed with flux. Cleans the pads right up.
Isopropanol/rubbing alcohol. I could not find any small bottles though. Pharmacy sometimes gives methylated ethanol and those do not work.
Thin core solder with flux
No clean flux, or for cheaper alternative, get the pros kit one but you need sme cleaning up. But it is cheap.

Personally, i have most of what i listed except a soldering station. Currentlly getting by with a 25w iron.
