this one iinm 
though I can't read chinese 

Thanks, can you show me the one for white ?
Cause some seems yellowish ? and is there a moq for them ? 

if im not mistaken, they're originally clear keycaps coated with black paint, then lasered off for the legends...

Well , Logitech makes great products what , only thing is that this is the first time they are entering into the mech scene , so that explains the faulty earlier batches lo. But actually one of the reasons I wanted this is because of the O-rings included. So i took the gamble lol 

I am a keyboard noob so i think it is good for me, can you honestly tell me whats the cons of this keyboard compared to other mech keyboards? 

yeah, i paid for it :| now epic broke

I think I tried my friend's logitech G7 something and a steelseries one

the layout is okay for me except that M1-M5 button, i cant utilize them properly

I used to use a normal keyboard, until it spoil recently so I needed a keyboard urgently

I am only familiar with this brand and the price kinda okay then I picked this one

hopefully it will make my first experience with mech kb good 

How bright do you need your LEDs to be?
It all depends on the current limiting resistors being used, the controller signal for LED brightness and also the brightness rating of the LED. i found that at the brightest setting on the round LED is enough to cause temporary bliness on me, if I look at it directly for more than 1 second. In addition, most LED based downlight has dome shaped lense. In that sense, the brightness property of the LED does not depend on the shape of its lense., it depends on the semiconductor mix that is being used.

The part on assembly is irrelevant. High volume manufacturing for Mech keyboards are probably using wave solder technique. The PCB is oriented right side up intonthe machine for soldering. As such, they should not fall out. For DIY purpose, I use kapton tape to hold all the LEDs in place for soldering and peel them off when done. Kapton tapes are made to withstand high temps and are used in soldering,  for electrical insulation and etc.

I do not know that there are switches made to fit LEDs better. There are only a few SKUs being offered by cherry, plate mount, pcb mount, pcb mount with diode, Pcb mount with jumper. Is there an SKU with better LED fit?

Do you have pictures detailing the differences?
This is news to me.

Yes , that's what I've said in my previous post , it isn't obvious when it's under normal LED brightness. Thus , the whole point here is to determine the quality of the coating of default keycaps under bright light of course. Well , I know most doesn't stay on default keycaps and there's still some who does , hence the whole point of comparing and for reference?

Well , I am not an enthusiasts myself so I'm quite curious about the quality , that's all. 

Looks like camera angle issue.
Honestly I don't get what message you are trying to present here.
Looks like just the top cover is Metal
Bottom is still plastic.

Cherry been making so many switches and now they need to create another mold just for LEDs without proper markings?
Unless you can show clearer pictures, i am not buying your argument.

Thanks for the recommendation.
I think I'll get these instead though.

those will work right ? Since it's 3mm.
I should get extra's when I order too yeah ? I scared I fail or some leds dies later on can replace 
And since you have done some soldering before, can you recommend which solder did you use ?
Thanks again 

anyone using mech board as their secondary board for laptop?
have you ever came across with the problem after the usb plugging in and out continuously?
Thinking to buy a TKL for secondary board for laptop ...typing on the laptop keyboard is feeling like torture your fingers in long term...

Crap bags are full of crap.
Unless you want a unicorn vomit board, don't waste your money.

the rk one still consider common ones? or not?

why what is the problem with the rk9100
