Isn't that a WKL TKL layout? That's 86 isn't it? 84 is 75% boards, unless I got it wrong.

WKL for TKL is basically the ones that needs tsangan kits, 1.5x 1.5x 7x 1.5x 1.5x, there are 1.5x 1x 1.5x 7x 1.5x 1x 1.5x too.

Still searching for other acrylic casing. Taobao one looks nice but the red too dark for me. If I can't find suitable acrylic then I might get the hammer, after payday. Previous pay day so early and I eat once per day and reduce consumption of my bubble bitter tea. laugh.gif

What are you looking for? 60% acrylic casings? Can get from alixinzai or something from geekhack.

so these are 86, but depends on user whether want to put install the 1x switch at the bottom row or not? if put switch, 1.5x 1x 1.5x 7x 1.5x 1x 1.5x but if no switch soldered, can put blocker or top casing with permanent blocker. like that?

from the LZ-GH thread they said these layout are 84 TKL since no 1x at bottom row.

QUOTE(0168257061 @ Oct 30 2013, 09:49 PM)
dont confused.
the top is 84
the bottom is 86. It just use blocker to become "84"

Ah, so that's what it is.

i assume KMAC is the best?looking at its smiles..aha..u know any trusted seller here? want see price

KMAC is a korean board, I don't think you would be able to find it here unless someone somehow wants to sell theirs. If you want to know about the price of those listed by noobandroid, you can ask him, because he sells those.

why the vast difference in price? shocking.gif

Just go find a board to cannibalize, if you want cheaper, mechanicalkeyboards.com has just became an official partner of cherry, and they are selling mx clear 110@53$, but they are pcb mount, you can just mod them to plate mount anyway.

Any switch is good for gaming, it all depends on your preference. Just be aware that MX Blue might have problems with double tapping. Good luck with your research!

Build quality of CM QFR is better than CM TK, they are from different OEM.

If you want to change keycaps, QFR is better because it has standard layout, while CM TK is different you'll have a hard time finding replacement.

CM QFR uses costar stabilizers, which feels better than cherry stabs when not modded.

This 3 alone can change everything on a keyboard, not just because the keyboard has LEDs means that it's the best.

A costar stab is one with wire and white'ish transparent stems. That is not a costar stabs.

QUOTE(hmwgbworld @ Nov 2 2013, 12:35 AM)
I took off the spacebar and it seems like TK is using costar stab. The think metal string thing is underneath the stab/plate.

And Poker II using cherry stab right? Browsing from GH picta.

You didn't like mx blacks? Actually I loved mx clears, until I felt vintage blacks.. Now I have mixed feelings : (

QUOTE(justnits @ Nov 3 2013, 11:50 PM)
not really. but from that link u can read it and understand mostly how it's done.

basically why he did all that is because he wanted the LED to shine brighter with more glow beneath the keycaps.
so he sandblasted the pcb plate and spray it silver.
also he replaced the black switch housing into transparent ones with silver stickers in between, apparently for better light reflection.

the sound dampening thing i don't think i'll do, since i like the clicky-gasm sound biggrin.gif

also, thanks kaiserreich for meeting up with me and showing me your poisonous keyboard collection!
i wanted to try out 62g blacks and 62g clears, but he go n bring his master keyboard race of oneness with cup rubber as well >.<
now leopold is lingering somewhere in my future wishlist already  vmad.gif  tongue.gif

right now i'm leaning more towards mx clears and blues hmm.gif

i had the privilege to try normal blacks and vintage blacks...and yeah i agree that vintage blacks has a smoother feel to it.
but i like clears better...i still prefer tactile to it...
so right now i'm torn between blue and clear lol
