What do you mean by "too soft"? Cause its half plate mounted?
*
The plate is not secured like KMAC, not lock into place.
The force use to actuate the switch will somewhat loose to the movement of the plate, which affects the switch.

As such, the keys do not pop back into place quickly as there is some energy lost, again, due to the plate not secured.

For a keyboard, it is not nice.
For a keyboard collector, this is a rare sample that is nice to have.
You can see that more people have KMAC and LZ than they have Cheat.

Eh, and nothing can be done about this? Hmmmmm, I think I understand it.
*
There are a few options.
1. Add non slip map underneath the keyboard, in addition to the one already there, which will tighten the plate hold a little bit. It helps and makes pretty close to a screw down board.

2. Drill holes on the plate and the case to lock the plate in. Kinda extreme and you gotta know what you are doing.

Now i here say until Cheat not worth a sen, cannot sell here already.

Not worth it.
Dolch Case is huge, and serve no practical purpose than to take up space.
I just use a G80-1800 case. Nice and compact.

The plate and lube, you can probably do on your own if you want.


40g black, I think if you rest your finger on the keys it will trigger already. Don't know how to use keyboard like that.

notice the word metal PCB? I wonder about PCB being metal and not steel
*
Metal Core PCB is chosen due to the heat dissipation properties. Basically, you have a PCB that is a giant heatsink.

I would advise against using it for a few reasons:

1. Satu lagi projekct Over-engineering Papan Kekunci
2. Cost
3. Have you tried desoldering components next to a giant heatsink? Of course you didn't. It is ridiculously hard, as you will need a board preheater before you can actually do anything.

Higher cost to leave them unsoldered then to just solder everything in one go.

Thanks... I wish Taobao offer more kb with clear switch such as Plum and Keycool. Mostly black and green available... sad.gif
Selling away those widow is the best decision. Based on your old and wishlist kb, I guess you prefer kb with backlit. Yup Ducky Shine 3 is a good keyboard but can try check 016 siggy. Full size and he can mod LED for you. The rest you ask him self. biggrin.gif Most recommended kb can be found at first page. Big wrist rest can get from Taobao.  thumbup.gif

Keycool is selling keyboard sith clears now.

the different intensity is due to different led voltage and/or mcd?
*
Mostly LED voltage due to the PCB circuitry.
If you are using LEDs with same forward current, the same resistor should not affect the intensity too much, unless the forward voltage drop is too out of whack.

Yup, the holes for LED are too small and really hard to cleanse off all the solder.

May be a proper desoldering iron will work better.

In my case, I had done some irreversible mistake on the PCB. The sucking of soldering gun actually recoiled and pushed the copper plate and a few of it detached off the PCB. I had then given up on trying to keep the damage minimum...
*
As long as you have a proper temperature controlled iron, it should be sufficient. The reason you have so much trouble, is because the low temp of the fixed power iron. Those things can't melt the Pb-Free solder sufficiently, causing you, to be unable to suck out the solder completely. Also, desoldering pumps are important. Good desoldering pumps don't come cheap

hmm.. after changing the plate, typing on this seems rougher than usual, that plate has that much effect on it?
*
Please describe more.
Is it because your plate is more wobbly inside the case compared to the old plate which is designed for the case?
