I don't think CN will ever be cheaper than acrylic, but you can try checking the costs.

cnc is about quantity. for example if you are just making one, the manufacturer will need to stop their current production, write the program, just to mill one for you.

eg.

1 unit - 1800rm
10 units - 1100rm

Yea of course everybody would love getting 7075 alu haha. Problem is the cnc mill. The machine must be  well maintained if not the case will come out with many blemishes. Im not sure if i trust the local fabricator here because of this issue. Want to source aluminum blocks is one problem. Getting it made locally with good finishing is another problem. Nvm ill just prepare a nice drawing of my designs and we'll see how it goes.

Test running one aluminum prototype would already cost more than 1k. Anybody willing to sponsor?

After calculating the price for a 60% custom ergo clear and comparing with HHKB, I don't think it's worth it going down that road. My CC is still Topre, but most likely to trade with some Toxic Bros to match with a black HHKB.

Don't do that to me, man.    I think the only way to finish my end game is to avoid lurking at mech keyboard threads full of poison. 

work in progress, still waiting for stabilizers and springs  

praise the Lord!    sell me one please... 
$200ish for OG NIB

My gf bought me a Majestouch Ninja TKL (Brown switch) last Saturday as birthday pressie  but there was some issue at MVP Store 

Guys got a question here.. I see one of the source to mkb is from taobao website.
My question is are there fake ones? There seem to be alot priced at 399-499rmb/yuan which is around RM200-RM250 even with the backlit that are priced around RM300+ in malaysia

Just bought a ducky g2 pro TKL from heavyarm shop. I know it is old model, but for price below rm200, new mkb and 2 year warranty, it is hard to beat.
Would any of you know any cons for this keyboard other than old model and no back lit LED?

Yesterday tried to find some of white keycaps, end up I still liking the one stock on Filco Pink + White.
Is ok, my bad to ask noob question in this thread. I kenot afford a Topre keyboard

I only need for lightsaver v1 and viper, that customer service person really stupid. i mention very clearly with pictures point out which ones + quantity i need but he still make the orion and lightsaver v2 ones.
Which set u need?

Why do koreans like the back to be super high. Is it because they leave their palms on the table while typing?


Picture of the night

Do you know how to turn off the stupid layer LED?
I can't read Korean

I figured out how to turn off the side LEDs but the flashing thing on the Caps Lock, IDK
Yeap
Got 45g, 55g, variable silent., HHKB

Stabilizer internals dislodged. Means somehow, the stabilizer wire dislodged from the stabilizer mount. I have a hard time thinking how this could happen. Perhaps it is due to me reusing the stabilizers from an old Cherry keyboard. Will wait for my order of stabilizers to arrive before fixing it. There is no way I can fix it without desoldering the whole thing. This is the stupid design mistake of using PCB mount stabilizers on a plate mount keyboard. Totally not practical. Putting it to storage for now.

There is also an LED mode where it blinks every time you type. Annoying as hell. I don't know why someone would design such an abomination. Imagine someone sitting next to you, using MX Blue, and his keyboard side LED blinks every time he types. That has got to be up there with those idiots whose 3rd Brake light is blinking in a traffic jam.
