Nice set, without backlight looks nicer imo .
Else the shine effect isn't look that well for keycaps that doesn't allow light to pass thru.

dadudeneverabides I found CAD design compilation on geekhack, it includes design for plate that support swappable switch cover. Dont know how I missed the compilation when searching for it last time, or else would have easier time with my CAD.

I've uploaded the CAD into my gdrive, plate_components.dwg, and also stole it for my own starter kit use

Hmm. Thanks for your input. Might order one from Massdrop in a couple of months if I have the budget to burn. Hahaha.

Btw, just did a double o-ring mod on my blue switches.

It's not really apparent in the video but the bottoming-out sound is almost gone when typing. All that's left is the clicky Cherry MX Blue sound.

Is this a metal or acrylic case, kinda digging the naked switch look. Why not just mod the hell of it, rather than add in LED now, changing cases another day.

And is this a good soldering iron for a beginner?

P.S: Sorry for the many questions, its just that I'm excited to actually starting to mod and stuff.

Just go to any hardware shop and get cheap soldering iron around RM15. If you're in for a long run, get solder stand and solder flux for cleaning.

cheap irons need skillz to operate, or you might seriously damage your stuff.

Thats why lah, my budget is around rm50-100, not that much, and I want to learn to extend my skill set. So better go with something with quality, but not breaking the bank.

Just get yellow flower

Boss gives thumbs up, boleh lah. hehe.

im cheapskate like that. Anyhow if spending on a quality soldering iron, you need to take care of it properly, I had 2 iron tip broke before due to rust and flux residue. Cleaning kit is important too.

True that. Cheapskate also, just trying to get the most of my very little funds. Thanks for the advice also, not my first time soldering, just finally trying to actually get a kit of my own.

sifusss. any idea where i could get vortex kbtalking race II white colour blue switch ?

I followed these instructions from geekhack. As you can probably see, it's a huge step simpler than hasu's work:

In the end, I have an excel worksheet to help me visualize the key locations and how I wanna deal with WYSIWYG issues.

Pretty neat stuff.
