If you use both numpad and cursor keys but not at the same time, there are always CM QF TK and PLUM 96 fodat. icon_idea.gif

Thanks for the reply and heads up regarding non standard keycap sizes. I don't think I will be needing more than the stock keycaps that came with any keyboard I mentioned.

Guess its either GS or overseas for my current keycaps hunting then.

I noticed you also have some keyboard for sale wink.gif

One doesn't simply stay with stock keycaps forever, especially if it is pad printed ABS, or even worse, coated backlit keycaps, LOL...

So i figured out the spacebar problem... it's the construction of the space bar itself. The middle insert is too big, so I'm filing it down. The side stabilizers are no longer an issue since I cut it all off. Still sticky key though... any more ideas?

Cut it off shocking.gif

The stabilizer stem are there for stabilizing purpose what...

LOL...what I meant was if I were to get a new MK (either the standard or non standard layout) I won't be needing any other keycaps than the ones it came with, unless for some reason someone came to my room and pulled my keycaps and ran away with it... laugh.gif

Bang, plastic do age, and ABS is worse of them all, coated ABS is worst of the worse.

I don't have it right now in my laptop but u can just do a quick google, someone in GH has posted the English ver. of the manual before.

AFAIK, you will nv able to fully remap the key, only program the keys as secondary keys.
Function row keystrokes = FN + numbers row

Wan a re-map-able 60%? Go get some Korean PCB or GH 60 tongue.gif

Or may be wait for another ComingSoon™ product called PLUM/Noppoo Nano 75

What water test?
LIFE'S TOO FVKING SHORT FOR SAFETY!!!
BTW, I have applied lighter on the space bar because I thought that it was wonky/not straight. Didn't work.

Cut cut cut the keycap extra stabilizer. Didn't work.

Then I cut the four plastic corners around the stabilizers on the keyboard (don't worry, it was the Ducky Zero Shine (Stabilizers can be replaced right? Right? RIGHT?)). Didn't work.

Then I see see the actual (+) thing on the key insert... and realized that the ABS-like material is too flipping thick for the key to insert itself correctly into the switch and come out without brushing against the switch cover.  doh.gif Bloody heck. Shave shave shave. Still sticky. Shave some more plastic. Finally worked.

Should have been playing Dota instead, but just watched some games while fixing it. Running up and down looking for my lighter and knife...

Replacing plate mounted Cherry style stabiliser is much more works and cost requiring... Good luck for dat...

How soon is it approximately?
So it's doable?  I only need f-rows while gaming and then convert back to stock layout while not gaming.

Btw, anyone have ice blue led ready? Thinking if modding full white led and different color for wasd, arrow and f-rows. And esc button. 3 different colours.

Another thing, keycool acrylic casing only for non led version or both? How much in myr? I can't check... mobile browsing sucks... sad.gif
*
It suppose to come out last June... But at this Coming Soon rate, I not sure whether it will reach by next June...

For the keycool, I think keycool's casing for 87 is standard, be it backlit or not. Hence the acrylic casing should be universal and compatible with both? hmm.gif

How much is the price for the casing? Looks interested and I wonder will fit in other kb. Somehow I have problem browsing taobao from my mobile only. Btw, keycool and vortex is the same level or vortex superior than keycool? Seems like I don't really mind cherry as long they are universal, not like oni. sad.gif
*
I don't think the acrylic case have any purpose apart from aesthetic. Stock Keycool casing is already very solid and comfortable to be used.

The case cost around 200RMB? Not really worth it IMO. Even the money making MKC is able to sell their acrylic casing for less than 150RMB last time.

I not sure how will keycool fair with vortex, but will say Keycool is no where inferior in built quality. If they can provide a good quality stabiliser and QC, then their board are almost perfect.

It is the spacebar issue imo. I tested 3 different sets. 1 stock and 2 aftermarket. You need to mod the caps stem to adapt the odd stabs. Because the pink pbt doesn't have any isdue and the vortex dye sub perfectly fits on ducky shine. I'll be happy to post my keycaps if I'm at same island with oni owner to make comparison for now.

May I know what else problem that been plagued keycoo ledl? I'm happy to make comparison to the poker ii. Yeah 2 different size and factor but I had ideas for both. Plan to spend a long time with mech kb after this. Soon salary will be reduced.  sad.gif

I think dey may be got a little QC problem. Macam a few of the recent keycool adopters here, they faced some scratchy switch on a few keys.

Scratchy means not smooth? Feels like there's a sand on the stem? But that can be lube isn't it? If that's the case, i guess poker ii is my next mkb... Hopefully I'll be happy with her.

Yar, get a poker and you can save a lot more on keycaps next time due to the smaller layout.

Or may be not since you are going to burn a few holes onto your wallet for getting custom casing for poker. brows.gif

Since the damage had being done, just be it.

If you were to venture into mechanical keyboard, you will start burn a few holes in your wallet, and the loss for sure not limited to RM400+, LOL.

Not to mention broke (spent at least Rm 1XXX on keyboard so far lulz...) so not trying to get poisoned .... (although i was the first to poison malaysia with it  laugh.gif )

cool.gif
I use the pbt spacebar from my Ducky Dk-9008 Tiger limited edition. I really like the feel and the shape.

The other spacebar from my custom made order was too steep and didn't feel comfortable. There is a totally big difference between the 2 doh.gif

PS: no shine even after a few years of usage  nod.gif  so pbt lives up to it's reputation.

Nowadays, banyak kaki custom keyboard here, and it start minimumly RM1k, lol...

Btw, long time no see.

Custom order's spacebar? Too sharp? Must be signature plastic.
