u use the DSA on which keyboard?

Both also similar symptoms.

UPDATE: I mount it on the switch now, and only ONE stabilizer. It seems like it works better on one side than the other (even after switching it around). Is it salvageable?

i forgot what keyboard u using lah  doh.gif
haha!
but i suppose it's a costar stabilizer.

funny that i believe costar should have less spacebar compatibility issue compared to cherry stabs.
hmm...i'm not sure what else can be done, other than making sure the inserts are really pushed in, the |_| thing are placed properly, lube the contact point, make sure the metal bars are properly seated, and finally making sure the whole spacebar is properly seated.

btw, did u try putting the spacebar flat on the floor and see if it's warped?
something like this.

Cherry stabs. And the keycap is fine sad.gif no warping.

I'm wondering what stab? Do you try on costar stab?

Cherry stabs everyone... bloody cherry stabs. My vortex set no problem... sigh... and I really liked how they looked on my KBT Oni sad.gif

ahh, cherry stabs.
and kbt oni  doh.gif should've thought so.

kbt oni have some inconsistency with the spacebar stabilizer's distance.
i'm not sure what can be done here...

Swt.

Sumbat till balance, and not stuck.
The middle stem, I no sumbat.  brows.gif

OK. I try. Will report in 5~15 minutes if unsuccessful.

If you don't hear from me, assume either:

1. Frustrated. Killed self/keyboard and too ashamed to post anymore.

2. Success. Playing dotard 2.

The next time we have meetup, I'm going to buy you a drink. Although I had to use some surgical tape on the stabilizer in the end (one side didn't wanna listen), you set me on the right direction.

Problem solved.

Wait till can't wait. Haha....

Height is actually ok, since I didn't sumbat the center stem.

2nd hand KBT Oni, from justnits. Keycaps are DSA profile from SP.

oi, oi, oi, those DSA PBT...damn sexy yo! rclxms.gif

Took me 15 seconds to get used to it. Bwahaha. The red keys are actually slanted (R1 or R3 IIRC) but I mounted them upside-down so it kinda sits flush.

QUOTE(hooh888 @ Feb 11 2014, 01:03 AM)
One thing I can confirm: I won't wait anymore once month end is here haha.
Will try the wax, though I've used a laptop for 4 years+ then changed to another laptop for around 2 years before getting my current desktop and never experienced shiny keys before, beginning to suspect that my typing is still considerably gentle compared to you guys lololol.

No thanks. Once you start noticing it... you'll hate the shiny.

http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r...ed55e27b&pm_id=

Other aftermarket also got this. RGB or RGBY modifiers.
Some are expensive and rare such as gmk, some cheap as dirt like those in taobao.
Your pictures very nice. smile.gif
Do you look at your keyboard while typing?
Typing speed ~100wpm is considered fast. Most of people here are slower than you. rclxms.gif
*
I got one set from taobao. Cheapo kind. The double shot is nice, and the keys are solid, thick and the doesn't wobble. The legends, however, are blurry and unclear. Font too bolded I think. And the colours not too nice, cuz it makes the black legends seem faded.

So, a fugly products with no qc.  biggrin.gif
I think blank should be ok. No ugly fonts.
Taobao got gmk, or other god tiers modifiers too. nod.gif

Why do you think I switched to all blank PBTs on my daily driver.

On the other hand, the profile on DSA spacebars are a little short for me. Might switch back to DCS profile spacebarf after all. This one is ABS biggrin.gif

QUOTE(hooh888 @ Feb 11 2014, 08:02 AM)
As I suspected, this is what it looks like, because I saw this in real life for the first time yesterday in office, on my colleague's Dell keyboard. I've been using my current keyboard at home(non-mechanical) for a bit over 3 months now and no sign of shiny keycaps yet, will see if it remains the same end of this month.
I'm a programmer and I'm only at average 70wpm.
*
70wpm is hella respectable. Anything above 120 characters per minute is already above the average human being.

QUOTE(0168257061 @ Feb 11 2014, 08:04 AM)
But many people who only buy 1 keyboard and settled.
Some of them just simply want to replace membrane keyboard but not really interested to go even further.
*
*Raises hand shamefully*

I have an MKB addiction.

Now that I have a decent set of DSA keycaps, next step is.... IMSTO?

Not really sure cuz I'm still trying to find the perfect set of keycaps.

near perfect keycaps for:-
ABS - GMK double shot (original cherry profile)
PBT - BSP dyesub (original cherry profile)
if you are getting from massdrop with a purchase of anything over USD$100, u should consider upgrading your shipping to one with tracking and insured.
email them at support@massdrop.com to ask how much is the additional shipping cost to top up for the realforce keyboard.

for example, i purchase the ergodox, the standard shipping is USD$24.90, this shipping is without tracking and not insured.
if i want shipping with tracking and insured, an additional of USD$25 will be charged, thus making the total shipping charge of USD$50 for shipping with tracking and insured.
*
I dun understand the paranoia...

I'd go for tracking and insurance if I'm buying without paypal, but a merchant paypal account works differently.

If they charge you for shipping and all, unless there is proof of receipt you can dispute the transaction and 90% of the time you'll get the money back unless they can proof somebody received it.

So....

afaik, within 45 days to dispute.
production/sourcing takes longer than that.
i want my package to reach me, not buying something and then didn't get it or taken by some idiot postmen. vmad.gif
also the refund, will it go straight to ur bank or credited into your paypal?
*
Not sure about the timeframe for disputes.

The refund goes into your paypal. If you have a credit-card, you can transfer to CC too.

I also dunno. You buy 1 and see.
If love, keep it. If hate, resell it.

In the future, I want to buy HHKB(blank keycaps) and test.

Happy Hentai Key Board.

Enjoy your feeling.

I know somebody selling their Topre TKL in garage, but... IDK if worth it to invest so much in keyboard I might not even like.

I guess it's time to find sugar mommy to fund my excesses.

If you don't like it, you won't go for it.
It's up to your preferences.
Like certain MX cherry switches, you don't like it. Then you won't buy it.
Some don't like linear, some don't like clicky.  laugh.gif

IDK. Like a virgin I want to try everything even though I'm quite satisfied with my MX browns.
