haha...so far over here can see only me n ainuddin appears interested, but pretty sure there will be submarine A87 user wan

kaiserreich had experience with the older version of a.87. according to him, the previous versions doesn't have SMD diodes soldered. so u need to get your own SMD diodes, switches, leds, and resistors for the leds. and soldering smd is quite a b****.
so far from what we can see in gh, sprit mentions that all of it are presoldered. just need to know if that includes resistors as well or not.

oh wow.. that's alot of things. how much budget do you have for this?

EDITED : ok got it now.. sorry.

dont sell ur keyboard first. buy a87 then slow2 build. once its ready, then sell ur keyboard

i have them switches ready already which i harvested from a faulty board.
getting leds from taobao since i just saw some new ice blue leds appearing in some taobao store
and i'm preparing to ikat perut for the metal case if it's nice and appealing to my eyes.
otherwise, i'll slowly save again for other case while getting the pcb first.

and i just found out that blue switches from different brand of boards have varying spring force @.@
varying force from 45-58g just for blue switch alone.

My SOS

There's some sort of metal paty that helps to smoothen scratched surface for metallic surface for car, i assume it might help too in case ur alu kb case is scratched lol.

i'm not too sure about that. i wouldn't be spending time searching/reading about it unless i actually own an aluminium case

where you get the faulty board? i saw WYSE board selling at good price in Taobao. but i don't know all of the switch on that board can be use or not.
no confident... maklumlah first time wanna have own custom board..

ya i think i have to consider about casing if i wanna get a.87... metal case price just tooo @_@ either carbon or acrylic.. but since you mention acrylic is not the best.. i think carbon.. should be ok i guess? lol.

that source useful (Y)

me no no if acrylic feels really that bad, anybody here tried acrylic case and alu case before?

1 USD = MYR 3.176 according to google rate

However paypal rate is 3.3 .

That one is wooden wrist rest?
How bout wooden case for poker ?

aite thanks mate.. google rate i think wrong one btw.

Top one is gray+black right? I guess get gray+dark gray. I love that classic look. Will fit in mainstream color IMO.

Tidak suka, jangan guna. Haha... What to do man...

paypal pun kena cari makan

google one is still correct imo, just paypal rate higher for profit imo.

Haha, if can i also dun wanna use. But the GB I must use it coz its the only way.

paypal tax

paypal tax will be another 1.04% when to either seller/buyer when invoiced. 3.3 rate isnt include the tax or transaction fee .
