I hate 'em because I don't have 'em. I think I found Poker II with costar stab and custom plat. Looks interesting. But not worth it IMO if it cost too much. Cherry or Costar, at least I own mech kb. Not this rubber sodomy keyboard.

A lot macam la you.

Hehe... Lurking geekhack is a unhealthy thing to do.

I almost buang all already. : p

I'm pretty sure there's no placebo effect. The spacebar on the costar stab is really fantastic. I seriously love the spacebar feel.

The other mods don't have much difference. Cherry stabs for the shorter mods - those below 1.75 seem to wobble a bit less - but the feel when hitting them is the same as Costar.

Coming from a rubber dome - I feel that MKB switches are better for all the regular keys (you guys call it 37 i think) - but the wobbly effect on the mods make it feel less awesome. Costar stabs on the spacebar changes the feel completely.....

Of course - those Costar stabs are true PITA to change keycaps.

Woww.....my skills so far is changing keycaps nia - and even then I still don't dare remove any stabilized keys on this Filco yet.....I'll probably need a while to 'level up' to modding stabs.

<-- this is seriously fitting to be the tag for this thread.....

very easy to do leh....a lot of youtube examples you can watch...

need to buy the desoldering thing right? btw any cheap and good brands to intro?

Hakko fx888d
u won't go wrong with it.

around rm6xx that one?
lets say a more budget one around rm3xx got ah? ( incase wallet not fed enough )

you wanna remove the keys or the switch? if keycaps no need solder iron also can remove already...

if you wanna remove the switches then you need a soldering iron to remove or replace the switch... my advice is get a good adjustable temperature irons....those cheap ones really wont last long...

planning to solder LED myself after getting back to malaysia next year... maybe much more, if i cant resist the poison xD ( lets say just LED ) ?

taobao rm300 shipped

Mind to link 2nd hand Cherry Vintage Keycaps set from Taobao? They PBT or ABS?

No

the Numlock Caps and Scroll lock is very bright.
but i noticed u change the default blue led, probably it's not that bright.

first time i want to change a costar big keycaps takes me more than 5 minutes to put it back
now just need 5 seconds.
just need to be brave, the stem won't break that easily

what kind of lube you guys using instead of krytox?

krytox is expensive right? is this available around Malaysia?

I installed LEDs on F-104 but there are 2 leds not shining ,,, what will cause this to happen?

the "fullstop" and the spacebar

you can use tamiya lubes.
