Eh my bad I think it was for acrylic hmm.gif because too thin, and with that many holes, quite fragile during CNC process.

if 1.5mm stainless steel or alu price okay then i'll go ahead with it. if not then 2mm acrylic? hmmm

If standard 60% or tkl acrylic plate, better just get it from taobao seller
Like dadudeneverabides said, its not worth it. Even lasercut acrylic plate is not worth it unless you need specific size and dimension. Go aluminium tongue.gif might be pricier, but if you're going for custom, better make it worthwhile. Oh and there's specific aluminium type you should request, and that one you have to refer to ainuddin

left : aristotle cherry clone right : cherry mx clear

Swap aristotle cherry clone spring for mx clear spring (thanks 016!), and totally love the feel now, feels as good as cherry blue in term of response. Key used to feel sticky during bounce back with old spring, so I loathe it for typing. Tried clone spring on mx clear, still sticky.

Does this mean that shorter spring = better response or more down to quality? Or do I need to lube the spring or something?

anyone getting this? Haiz, so little money

The price.. and imho, its cheaper to make one yourself, and replace teensy with pro micro controller (1/4 of teensy price, less pin)

QUOTE(zennasyndroxx @ Jul 31 2014, 10:22 AM)
60 is okay but 40% layout is impractical IMO. Unless you use only alphas then there should be no problem. And kaiser what do you mean by teensy bga?

I think its ball grid array soldering

Can anyone help me with this since I cant read chinese and google translate sucks.
M87 PCB - does this have controller and anything related soldered? Just need to solder diode, resistor and switch?
And for casing, should fit any custom made case for A.87 pcb?

And what is the different between this faceu (RMB 130-160) and this faceu (RMB 80)

-there goes my 'no more mkb' sad.gif -

yeah the details is in EC whereby the controller is soldered but not the resistor and diodes for the switches. the great thing about this PCB is buy 5 free 1 and buy 10 free 3. 016 might organize groupbuy soon. (i hope :3)

I think this is a pretty good buy provided that it's 175rmb for 1 and the faceu replica that he made, the quality is pretty good as well.

I vote for m87 GB laugh.gif

Get ducky zero or rosewill for less than 300 for starter, as LED is just an option you can live without if you have limited budget. Later on if you have more budget, get a custom keyboard with better bling bling disco light enough to annoys everyone

That one memang cannot la laugh.gif but the best thing is you dont have to move hand when typing and navigating.
Yeah from pjrc, around rm92 with delivery. And maybe you can buy board above and hook up teensy

Around 2 weeks, they should email you after they shipped the item, usually the next working day, if been to long better check and ask them incase of anything

Bad PCB. 2KRO.

Modern Blacks, so no vintage smoothiness.

noted, for that price I sense there must be something wrong with it

anyone wanna get m87 a.k.a. a87 clone?

it's 175RMB per piece with soldered controller and ps2avru flashed. need to get and solder diodes and resistors on our own but this PCB is the best bang for the buck!

buy 5 free 1 so if we've 6 people joining us then we can get it for 146RMB which is lesser than 100 ringgit!

Been dreaming of having a custom keyboard but budget tight? You can get your dream tenkeyless kibod with whatever switch you want, whatever led you want! and of course you can choose either acrylic or godly aluminium casing.

If you're interested in the PCB, feel free to let me know.

Currently there's 3 person who's getting it, me, ntw and fadrir so we need 3 more for a cheaper price biggrin.gif

Me, zennasyndroxx and ntw getting a cheap tkl board. If you order with case I think around Rm230+-, With switches, led, diode, resistor and so on, everything should be less than RM400 I think sweat.gif But you can get part slowly, go for pcb and case first, and buy other stuff slowly. If can get 6 people, lagi cheaper

Hahahaha, guess i am not ready for "kastam" yet, thanks for the input guys.

Speaking of brands, do the Ducky keyboards (Cherry stabilisers) really feel mushier as compared to Filco and CM Storm Quickfire XT/Rapid/Trigger keyboards that are using Costar stabilisers?
*
Or you can do the slow painful way, getting part little by little, start with pcb
