Just keep it, F104 is come from the same factory as your Shine Zero does. Their internal should not differ by much.

is it okay to wipe abs cap with 75% isopropyl alcohol?

i was trying to ask if the various switches have difference in terms of durability.
true but i like the loud sound so maybe blue or green, and black is like a pure gamer kind of switch from what i managed to understand at first page. i am not much of a gamer, but i do type a lot.

Great info. What you said is probably true.
Tactile is sure lower in the life cycle 20m whereas non-tactile is 50m.
From what I know, the switches will finally fail due to fatigue failure.
Few methods can fasten the process, that is, you always type (stress on it), seldom let the switches rest. So, it will failed prematurely.
If seldom type, will able to reach life cycle of 20m and above.

p/s: experience from my own fyp, "Finite Element Analysis and Fatigue Failure of steel"

edit: the beauty of mechanical keyboard is, we're able to change the switches individually if broken 

failed miserably when i sold off my keycool 87 and f104

that is what most of us told ourselves eh?
just one keyboard...next minute, WHERE DID ALL THIS KEYBOARD COME FROM!

I am still kinda new into mkb, but already spent a lot 
will stop after a custom tkl

haha...that's one b!tching part about ur unit being under warranty and this minor defect happens XD

I think because gaming keyboard (NKRO, etc) limiting the choices.
So, non-gamers more choices, sure choose higher end mkb.
I see no reason not to choose expensive like custom, topre etc for keyboard.

I don't know. But from gamer perspective, you need that NKRO for standby.
Although, you really don't know why you need that. 
Got NKRO, will suang a bit. Psychology issue.
It's a feature for them.
When you stand at their point and see, it's quite make sense.
NKRO must have! although no use yet, but standby 1st
