RM20 chapalang logitech mouse
RM20 chapalang speaker

RM1160 korean custom keyboards

Yeah, so much worth it. icon_idea.gif

BTW, since your budget is pretty plenty, I will say get a filco, and save the rest of the money for keycaps.

If you really despo for backlit, then get a Ducky Shine 3.

Wondering why no much wood case out there? Hand crafted wood sounds like not going to be too exorbitantly expensive.

Maxkeyboard? They used to be same oem as razer, that is iOne.

But now from the layout, directing wire and also double injection backlit keycaps, seems like they now using the oem of ducky zero or amargedon hornet.

I can't find white LED backlight? No white light offered? And seems like no red switch. Thinking of grabbing red or blue switch. Too bad Choc mid have Filco like cable. sad.gif

Iinm, plum87 only got red led.
Red switch should have, try visit other store for it.

EDIT: in your link, I still see 1 unit of backlit red switch and 7 units of non backlit red switch available?

Ducky Zero so far so good right? iOne is a famous OEM?
*
I read in china forums that Zero shine actually not as good as zero.

Yar, iOne is famous and old in making mech kb, but their reputation isn't too great with their previous lines of keyboard till Razer Blackwidow era.

They are capable of making good keyboards too, but their qc isn't good enough. Worse is all their board are using 1.5x modifier and 6x spacebar.

Those plates that allow switches to be reopened are a menace.
How many times do you change the springs?

It allows the switches to be pulled out when you have a slightly tight keycap.
*
Yup, it is useful when your keycaps are tight and pulled out the switch stem together.

You can then remove the top case of switch and reinsert the stem rather than dismantle the whole board and disorder to fix a switch.

The pull out of a stem is not the plate's fault. It will come out due to the keycaps stuck too tight on the stem.

F104 total only 4 screws - two for pcb with base and another 2 for securing the cable.

What you need to do is to pry along the gaps to remove the top case, later you will see the whole steel plate.

taobao sifu, how to search for costar stab inserts and clips?
and the metal bar as well

I thought there are some come bundled with your keycool?

If you searching for the real Costar one, I think you should visit WASDkeyboard. They sell both the mounts, insert and also wires.

Already tried heavy-arms

One doesn't comply heavy-arms with the term "cheap", LOL.

BTW, simply type in 键帽 in taobao.

thanks I know about this site but it is really very expensive to buy and get it shipped to msia - would cost me around RM400 for a tenkeyless set of keycaps. thought that someone here would be selling or know an alternate site for topre realforce keycaps

thanks again anyway

Pay over RM800 for keyboard.

Rm400 too expensive. That doesn't sound right what? LOL

JK, taobao also got, but price should be same, may be shipping cheaper a little.

The keyboard does not have any warranty left.
Does anyone know where can I repair that?
Thanks.

If faulty switch, then can fix and swap the individual broken switch.

Ask abang 016 for details.

haha, i recently just swap out my presumably faulty keycool spacebar switch.
next so-called repair experiment would be done on my fren's DAS.
but according to him, seems like a cluster of keys are not functioning, probably not switch hmm.gif

Yup, a cluster of keys down probably means faulty matrix circuit or controller.

Pray hard the copper pad is not the root cause.

I don't think detached copper plate will spontaneously occur on a cluster of switches, not?

For Mechanical keyboard, there are only few and limited choices available, and more than half of them are gaming boards.

IINM, you can find some Filco keyboards at SG.
