What things on the keyboard can we fine tune? for better typing experience
- lube spring, stabilizers
- keycaps
- casing
My knowledge is limited. Anything miss out?

Change plate, change spring, change stem, change case, change caps add stickers

If really too noisy, then put o-rings a.k.a silencer on keycaps


I think the MX Blue "clicky" sounds nice to listen

Relax bro, if you've decided to get the RK-9000, just be patient and wait for it.

If you purchase other replacement because you can't wait for the one you needed, buyer's remorse will hit you real soon.

Unless you have the money to burn or you don't mind resell... then nevermind..

For me personally, my jump towards the mechanical keyboard bandwagon its primarily because I felt the tyyping experience was far more superior than a membrane keyboard feeling.

Prior of getting my own mech keyboard, I tested MX black and browns in the form of a SS 7G & 6G and also a Filco Ninja.... Both switches were nice and suits what I'm looking for...But the switch I really wanted was a red MX which is about as Rare as a Ducky shine 3 TKL now...back then only had SS, Ducky and Filco with either black , brown and clicky blues to toy around... I work as a writer and almost 80 A4s pages with font 9 size I need to type monthly...

So when I decided to pull the trigger, it was a Filco Pink Tenkeyless because 1) it is a tenkeyless and I don't need a numpad 24/7, secondly because it had white keycaps...' I wanted a red switch but it only comes in a limited edition Camo Red bla bla bla, which I didn't prefer...

Ducky was around but its fairly new and trying to get reviews on it like almost close to none. SS i didn't opted because of the braided cable and the hideous keycaps font... Filco looks and feels much better..mine was equipped with a MX brown switch.

For 3 years++ I type on a stock Filco TKL Brown, everything stock and no need to pull and plug back in ever...I was solid and was very dirty thanks to the white keycaps...

My advice is this; DON'T GO TO THE SHOP AND JUST PUT YOUR NASTY FINGERS ON THE KEYBOARD AND CLICKING RUBBISH, Period!

Go and ask for a proper demo, don;'t just click with 2 fingers and judge with your ears and eyes...Judge with your fingers because in the end your fingers do most of the work.

If you straight away click click on the demo or worse, the stock that is for sale, 1) you look noob n rude 2)its not your keyboard yet mang 3)shop keeper or assistant would be cursing you inside their head....

Ask nicely for a sitting demo and try to type naturally like you would on your table. Type away for like 5 minutes and try the next switch that your are interested.... Mechanical keyboards are basically the same, the only difference is maybe the keycaps, illuminated or not, goodies that comes in the package and the package itself. Most plate mounted feels the same most PCB mounted feels the same.

So again, select the switch then select how much you are willing to spend on your tools...


Apa itu moogle kit???

you right also,good thing have to wait

No, your hadn't met the real waiting games yet...

At least you can always get Filco from SG or Taobao anytime you want.

But our waiting games... Wait for years until you forgotten that such desire exist in you b4 can be a normal phenomenon here.

moogle kit is what most standard layout is using.
1.25 modifier and 6.25 spacebar as opposed to tsangan kit which is a 1.5 CTRL ALT, 1.0 Winkey, 7.0 spacebar.

In summary, it's a set of keys meant for Cherry classic keyboards. It's for the people that want to use vintage Cherry corp keycaps on a modern keyboard like a Ducky/Filco. Sadly not all the keycaps will fit, hence why this kit is required to fill in the gaps. The color scheme and the font style is crafted to be as close as possible to the original.


PS: other than being moogle kit founder, i am also the original Malaysian Mechanical keyboard club founder and pioneer I created on lowyat forum, seeing as this is probably the largest online community in Malaysia. biggest contributions is bringing mkb awareness to the malaysian community via lowyat, to spread the poison that over priced rubber dome high end gamers keyboard is a marketing con, and that the real quality is that of a mkb (even the cheaper models are way worth it). My poison has more bang for your buck, than the usual logitech so called high end rubber dome keyboards

as a result... more people know about mkb, and even the resellers are selling mkbs locally now (before it was very limited in the Malaysian market place). mkbs internationally has gained more coverage, that more mkb products are being released.

Even logitech competitors, ROCCAT and Razer have turned to making MKB products.


Don't worry. lots of people also were rather blur and overwhelmed about mkb when they just started. it gets much easier once you own one, then you know what we all talking about.

Meaning that this 'kit' is actually a set of keys (produced NEW) which resembles the original Cherry keyboard keycaps but made to fit modern keyboards such as Filco/Ducky?

or

In order to fit those Vintage keycaps taken out from an old Cherry keyboard to fit a Filco/Ducky/QFR keyboard, some of the Vintage keys (which did not fit) is replaced with a set of keys which will fit on a modern keyboard?

The kit isn't a full set. meaning you would STILL NEED TO BUY! the entire Cherry corp vintage keycaps (for a full keyboard). The kit is only to replace the caps from the original, that would not fit a modern keyboard like a ducky/filco. The keycap width is different

Yes it is possible to order a custom sp double shot for the entire keyboard, rather than a patch kit, but a lot of purists, prefer having the original cherry corp ones, but with a patch kit aka moogle kit

I believe it was 7bit who was selling it if i am not mistaken

So meaning lets say I'd order a set of keys that would fit an old Cherry keyboard, I wont be able to use 'all' keys on a modern keyboard such as filco/ducky correct?

So the below pictures are the kit correct? all of the keys in the pictures will replaced their respective original vintage Cherry keycaps? So basically can only salvage the alphabets and number keycaps from the original vintage cherry keyboard?

yes correct.

also because the keys being use for kit, aren't the alphabets/numberals, the very slight discrepancy is hardly a detriment from using it. And you can get to use vintage Cherry corps

Much thought and revisoning had went into this, to make it as close as possible (font face, and color) to the vintage cherry, so as it won't look so out of place.

In short, may refer moogle kit as one type of the modfier kits i suppose.
Modifier kits inlclude keys for spacebar, ctrl, alt, win, fn, left & right shift, capslock, tab, enter, | \ and backspace.

the beauty of mechanical keyboard is, we're able to lube the switches individually if you find the scratches and sound annoying

Audiophile spoiled my mechanical keyboard plan.

choose one for great happiness and one sorrow wallet.
choose two for unequal happiness and one greater sorrow wallet

hey guys, how's the quality of keycool tlk compared to ducky and filco?

Anyone here can fix my friend's Razer Blackwidow Ultimate?
Problem is the key trigger randomly (all range F5, shift, numbers, characters, etc), all driver detect and the LED's working fine.

keycool just have lower qc and less polished up.
i still like a keycool for the price
