Why did you sell you cheat?
Btw, I saw this kmac 1.2, 375 shipped with everything in the picture.
I think it's a good deal. What say you? Hopefully it's not a scam. Any advise on dealing with ppl from geekhack?

Cheat sux
Any case that allows the PCB to move around in it, is not a good case. Kills the typing feel

ducky la no need to think  icon_idea.gif

shipping from taobao is never a good idea...
i don't get how a keyboard, mousepad and a webcam,

actuaal weigh 4.65kg
volumetric weigh 8kg.

i ended up topping up another 60 bucks which makes my total shipping from taobao rm 90 ==
*
That is some very heavy mousepad and webcam you got there?
Keyboard baru weigh 2.5kg most. Where the 2kg ?

This is how strong a mechanical keyboard is.

Plastic case is okay.
If you have KMAC or LZ or ...metal shell boards, that thing probably will bend already

this kbd was modded a few times  sweat.gif
no money to buy new one liao.
It depends on how the plate is designed as well.
If the plate and pcb is designed like "hanging" on the case, the feeling is very good.
That means the vibration would travel less and reduce the bottom case vibration.
Imagine you typing a keyboard without vibration from the bottom case.
*
I added non slip map at the bottom.
Seems to help, but not much.

Best is still to screw them down, or some sort of plastic fitting design like how most of the plastic case keyboards are made.

I've got the keycool 87 from taobao.
You buy things through taobao from an agent. Find one from the classifieds subforum and get a quote. The first one tried to scam me by adding extra charges for shipping even though the taobao website said nationwide (China) shipping was free and his nick starts with "c".

Mkb is considered an electronic item and you will need to pay sensitive handling fee of RM25 on top of the normal fee. Agents will not take responsibility if items are lost/stolen during shipping(all of them, its in the terms of service) and the warranty is practically useless since you have to ship it to China for returns/repairs.
*
Find other agent, no need pay sensitive handling fee.

if you buy Guangzhou based, normally can nego the shipping fee. 15RMB become 8RMB, for example.

hahaha i suddenly feel more inclined to wash them often dee

now already cleaning them once a month

soak in warm water with soap. thumbup.gif

Cold water and denture tabs.
Either get polident or Tesco brand.

Few tabs into the water, keycaps as well, 30 minutes later all done. No scrubbing needed.

I would be careful with warm water. Don't want to warp the keycaps.
