Finally received my unprinted Thick PBT from IMSTO today! For statistics, I ordered and cleared the payment on last Friday and receive it today. Only took around 5 days to arrive. Initially I thought it would only take 3 days tops though seeing how close I am now with China. Anyways, I'm just glad to receive it finally! No complaint here.

Removing the keycaps, including the ones with stabilizer bar was really easy and not as difficult as I once thought, thanks to the Ripster guide that I followed here. In fact, it only took me ~15 minutes to fully remove all the keycaps. Putting them back is again, easy as pie!

Several things that I note:
- The texture is really something compared to ABS. The extra premium spent on this one is really worth it. You would have to touch and feel it to know.
- Apparently the keycaps that I purchased has a slightly lower height than the Filco. For example, the height for the QWERTY... in my ordered keycaps is having the same height as the 'ZXCV...' from Filco. Still, I really appreciate and like the lowered height as surprisingly, I feel more comfortable typing on it!
- Dark grey and black looks just perfect!  rclxms.gif Initially I wanted to purchase the White + Gray combo, but later decided to withdraw and choose the dark grey set instead. NO REGRET!
- BLANK IS SEXY  brows.gif

Here are some pictures taken throughout the whole process. Warning: Hefty load of pictures  wink.gif

Just a note for those who want to get FMJ~

There is no center screw or standoff to support the pcb and plate, other than the 2 at left and right.

So the typing experience is really different from those standard OEM keyboard outside  cool2.gif

saw 1 review from a china forum, saying that if you put poker X pcb or any pcb without plate on FMJ is superb lol!

there are a lot of methods to "customize" your tkl, you can add led / lube the switches / apply stickers for the switches or even if you mod the casing to different colour also consider as customize what ....
what you want to do on your keyboard first?

for ergo clear, it is actually referring to mx clear switch with custom 62g string, it supposed to be heavier string.

there are plenty choices for tkl alu casing. I have vortex alu casing in mind and others are pricey tongue.gif
Just buy a used kmac2, less hassle and problem solved biggrin.gif

DIY and it will definitely cost you more than its price.
or from Taobao, they have freebies if you purchase kmac series diy kits
