It's 'The Cheat'

Real Cherry adapter kits are the Ctrl + Alt + Win key rows plus the center stemmed caps lock.
They are hard to come by and is needed to make a full set of Cherry DS. An alternative is the SP ordered Moogle Kit, but the profile is slightly different.

I think you missed the news.
SP can't make it.

Boilermaker has since organize a group buy for that. I think you missed that boat as well.

Everything come in parts. you need to source your own switches and stabilizers to assemble it.

Laser etch and engraved is the same technique(?)
Paint top is due to infill, like ducky normal keycaps.


Surface does not matter, what matters is the mounting.
As long as it fits cherry mx, it's fine

You need translucent keycaps for those.
Ducky keycap is made by etching paint off translucent plastic.
If the plastic is not translucent, the only way you will get a shine through is by drilling the plastic.

A korean friend help me out on that.
I found the cheat for sale at a listing at KBDMania, he help me buy and then ship to me.

Asked Tsangan to ship is to my friend in the states.
He just recently sent out international orders.

RA GB probably gonna take another week, due to raya holidays.

My Phantom parcel was stuck at Butterworth Poslaju since last Thursday. It only came to me yesterday.
Posmen all cuti I think.

Haha, yeah. It sounded like a 'Phantom Parcel'
Gonna build it over the Merdeka weekend with 62g clears. Too bad I don't have the switch stickers.

Case obtain from litster via trade.
It's not the best. I haven't get the MKC acrylic case, but those things are like RM75 a pop. Pretty cheap now. Maybe you can put those together with your PLU TKLs instead, if you still have the?

Poker or pure is pretty close

Poker is more versatile. My pure is coming soon from vortex., no led version. I will take pictures when it arrives.

Get PURE without LED, it's better that way.
Otherwise, you need to stalk the sales section at PCWaishe/Waishehome/likeyboard/Chiphell for POKERs, they come up once in a while
yes they do come in blues.

There is a notch holding the slider, somehing like a triangle.
That will be damaged as soon as you try to remove the slider. Damage to notch can be minized but cannot be avoided at all.

Can buy from Pharmacy I think.

What kind of switches are you looking for?

I have some extra brown switches lying around, and also gold plated 55g springs if you want them.

Red Alert 2.0 a.k.a Fake Alert
My camera phone pictures does not do it justice.

If it's a Ragnarock GB for massive keycaps set like this, that's out of the question.Ragnarock does not do custom packaging, so it's either a small or a medium box. If he did a medium box with custom wrapping, it would be much cheaper, but the GB organizer can do whatever they want.

Me and rao's order already fill up the Small Flat Rate Box pretty tight. I would've wanted to go for another base set, but I can't fit any more in there. So, that's $17 there. If Rao wanted other color kits, it will not fit into the box at all.

Moving up would be $55, and it needs to be more than 7 person sharing to make it worthwhile. Otherwise, 6 person can do $17 each at 3 packs and still end up cheaper than the $55 cost.
That is 7 Persons, not 7 sets.

People I know who joined are Me, Rao and Jinhan. Need another 4. Cyclone does not like Rag, adding you in, need 3 person more. There are less than 7 person who spend on keycap sets regularly in here, either that, or they don't post often.

1 small box fits, 2 base kit, 2 color kits, and 1 tsangan kit.
In light of the Red Alert offerings, if the second person decides that he want the color kit/tsangan kit, the other person can't even get all the combination. Do you see the trouble here?

I have no idea how many kits a $55 box fit, but it's quite big.

Anyway, things discussed here is moot. I'll bring it up again in the future again.
Next GB from Ragnarock is a PBT Dye Sub set, and expect to pay $100 a set for the base kit alone. How many would want to share shipping?

What sales thread?
If you are referring to the dye sub set, it's what Ragnarock have been talking about. There's nothing concrete yet.

how thick is it?
1.5mm seems good enough for my use. But i really hate the bottoming out feel on mine.

2.5mm looks way too thick, unless you are using SP Sphericals / DS keys. Then it should be good.
1mm is too thin for any effect for most keycaps.
I have 1.5mm 50A EDPM rings to fit a few keyboards, so, no thanks.

So, looks like O-rings is a no go for me unless i want to have a quiet MX Red/Black board. Maybe I should try 60/70A O-rings next.

If anyone does not know it yet, O-rings on tactile switches will totally destroy the key feel.
