Highly bored. Looking for some colourful keycaps (I ordered already) to spice things up. But everybody selling damn expensive keycaps...

As for my real question, what's the cheapest option for a costar stabilizer keyboard? Spacebar feels annoying nowadays :|

New spacebar to replace the one I wrecked, some RGBY keys, and some Dota 2 R1 (or is it R4?) keys because the 104-key massdrop last time doesn't cover my 105th-108th keys and I'm annoyed.

I thought raindrop close dy? But I not entirely like the colours... maybe I will... or not.

Linkies for round 2?

Just in case I regret didn't join


edit; nvm found it.

Hence, no regrets.

Also, how much you charging for co-star stab modding? Gonna mod my KBT TKL first and get that pause key fixed at the same time

No, as in changing from cherry stabs to co-star stabs.

Yeah, I read about the clipping thing.

Anyone here wanna do it for me?

1. Cherry MX is the type of switches. Others include ALPS and Topre, for example.

2. Bad keycaps feel like shit. It's like driving a BMW with plastic seats.

3. Most cherry MX switches have easily replaceable keycaps. So most users will switch from the basic ABS to PBT (probably best feel) or POM. Usually we go for PBT.

4. LED lighting will add about RM80 - RM 90 to your keyboard. Sometimes will add about RM150 - 200, depending on manufacturer

5. Mechanical switches got 2 types; linear and tactile. can be tough, or soft, or very bumpy tactile and very soft tactile also. Some switches have noticeable sound profile also.

6. Ducky shine one of the best LED keyboards around.

Cheaper to get clear keycaps from signature plastics I think.

But clear keycaps only can get polycarbonate right? IDK if got other materials that can do clear plastics. If you have can you share

Shipping comes to about 9.75USD for Standard International. I pay using paypal, so the item must arrive for me or I will complain through paypal channels and they will get into more trouble than it's worth (and resend). #evil


That's my main beef with the clear sets. Polycarb. Not sure if I'll be ok with the feels or not.

Hot damn! Looks like the keycaps I've been searching for my whole life!

Both decent. Buy the one you like the look/price. Both also using standard layouts, so there isn't much difference. Both Made in China, probably by the same factory for all we know.

Woooooohooooooo

Ergodox FTW.

Gonna buy the PCB and case and all that shit first. Switches can get easily

Who cares about LED. Ergodox is like a throwback to the keyboard I learned how to type properly with two hands (Microsoft Natural Keyboard will always have a place in my cold lifeless heart), so it's 99% nostalgia and 1% I-must-have-this.

Might have gotten the last part wrong though.

Yeah. Sounds like a good deal. About RM500++ for the PCB+case, then get my own switches when it arrives (wink) and then on to some DSA keycaps from KeycapsDirect.com

Should be gooding.

Buy own switches man. -44USD ezlief

Well, if you go the paypal route, the don't deliver you can claim back. Ez.

Yay!

My items arrived from taobao just in time. Going on leave tomorrow onwards.

pictars to come tonight.

Also, giveaway for 2 PBT spacebars (beige-ish white and jeft black) but the stems are off center. Because I can't f***ing read chinese and see the stems :|

You can have both since I can't use any. Effing mad right now...

But I gotta start packing for drive home :|

So mehbe after CNY then I pass to you.

Hahaha. Much poison dy.

Buy first, regret later.

Happy CNY bros.

I count other people's money for them. Prefer MKBs after started using. Never went back

I brought my keyboard to my work... which uses a desktop... bring home everyday because scared people steal.

I brought my MKB back home also... Currently in hometown tapping away blissfully while my parents are stuck with their membranes.
