Guys, anyone who has a Filco and is looking for a plate so it could be switch mod-able without the need to desoldering? Currently there's a round 2 for it. 35$ shipped if I'm not wrong. This round, it will be Stainless Steel instead of Aluminium. If you want one, better grab it now, otherwise the leftovers will be sold at mark up price.

It's not my groupbuy, just sharing it to other Filco owners, just in case anyone wants to grab one and don't need to have headache trying to get a plate.
LINK - http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=36907....9;boardseen#new

The said Stainless Steel plate works for the keyboards below, which means you can mod all the keyboards below, all you need is soldering tools, or get someone to do it for you, bro kaiserreich does the service  -

    Filco TKL
    CM Quickfire Rapid
    Leopold FC200R
    Ducky Year of the Dragon
    HPE 87
    Key Cool 87
    PLU 87
    KBT oni
    Noppoo Choc Mid
    Phantom custom
    Filco/Rosewill 104 (maybe)

Yar, regarding desoldering LED part, I agree.

It is better to have a proper desoldering gun than using soldering iron + vacuum suck...

BTW, the one in my link got non-LED version, get it for the sake of wireless.

will get an led board later to play around. need to upgrade my tools first.

QUOTE(kaiserreich @ Jun 15 2013, 07:40 PM)
Desoldering LEDs needs a ton of solder, a plier and a good vacuum sucker.
I recommend the Edsyn soldapult.

whats your trick boss? add more solder first, then suck back?

Add solder forming solder bridge.
Reflow the solder entirely and pull out the LED.

Use a good quality vacuum pump to suck out all the solder.
Cheap ones will just make a mess.

For Pb-Free Solder pad cleaning, recommended to get larger wattage iron.
Otherwise the pad will be a mess as well.

no use on my current ducky, already burned a few pcb track. laugh.gif

Basically it will have
1. bluetooth
2. programmable
3. built in li-ion battery
4. tri-color LED (not sure what this actually mean, but if they manage to put in 3 colors changeable LEDs on it, then it will be motherofgod.jpg)
5. 跑马灯(not sure what is it, probably some random blink mode?)
6. all other features you will ever need or find on your mech kb.

Have you tested Ergo Clears? Ghetto Greens? Panda Blacks? Tacto Blacks? : p

You'll know how much does the feeling change after lubing, and changing springs.

done 62g on clears, now on stock clears, next should be lubing and mix matching springs with other stems.

Certain China boards are good for low budget ppl, at least much better than buying random overpriced "gaming keyboards" in local retail stores... rolleyes.gif

For Plum made keyboard, I recommend them for their high values and features packed + catering the niche or specific demands by customers (every time they launch a keyboard, they will ask to suggest as much as you can so they can try to put it in).

PLUM got taobao store? link?
