Then you should get this. You loss literally nothing but you gain literally everything one will ask for
1. PBT Keycap(those blank one is KBC POM) by default
2. Wireless
3. Backlit-able(just add your own LED and it is good to go)
4. TKL but with numpad
5. PCB mounted for a lighter weight(though it isn't exactly the lightest board around)    444

Backlit under RM250 is a little too hard.

The nearest is getting this and then solder on your own LED.
The board along cost around RM200, shipping took another RM20. Spend another RM15 for purchase LED(it is cheap in Taobao) and spend another RM15 to find ppl to help you solder on those LED incase you can't do it yourself.

Without pre-drilled holes and circuit it will be a lot more works to do.

If you still interested, it will be:
1. Removing the switch from the steel plate and PCB(not needed if you manage to separate the PCB from steel plate without removing the switch).
2. Separate the PCB from steel plate
3. Planning whether you want to drill holes on PCB or do the jump wiring in between PCB and steel plate, whichever more applicable.
4. Inserting LED into the switch
5. Wiring, insulating, testing

For details you may ask the member - Bai101. He did some BL mod on his non-BL Flashget.

ok thanks man! thumbup.gif do i directly connect the wires to the LED then connect them to the usb power cable or is there a more complicated step involves? if only i paid more attention during KH in school...

BTW, i can't find bai101 username

He put in individual LED IIRC.

You can clearly see in his picture that there are individual LEDs underneath the keycaps.

Also, do notice that led mod on non-bl kb had a unsolvable problem, that is the LED will be at the bottom part(of switch) instead of top part of normal BL-kb.

what does that mean being on the bottom?

Take a look at the picture in my post above. You will see that the LED is at the bottom(plane view) of the keycaps.

For normal bl-kb, the switch is inverted to make those LED mounted at top(plane view) of the keycaps.

oh ok. i tot it jam the switches up or something.. lols

Partial LED mod, sadly no tutorial on the LED mod part.

The chassis got the special edition dragon engraving IINM, as well as some keycaps difference...

but overall... nothing different.

Unlike the rabbit year edition which is FULL snow white and pink PCB.

back then when I went to heavyarm, their store still got 1 in stock and I got the 9008G2 instead of YOTRabbit edition because I won't be using it if I buy it.  laugh.gif

the backlight features all is the same??

come on, there's no point comparing PCB mounted board with plated mounted QFR. rolleyes.gif

the flex is not the pcb, but the casing. low quality, me is sad...
