I selling my Topre... Maybe. But it's fullsized though

Check reviews for weeks, then say fvck it all and go custom.

Exotic switches?

Wait until you tried things like Ergo Clears, Jailhouse Blues, Pandas and what not.

In other news, I just ordered the Tsangan set from techkeys... Hopefully in three week's time I will finalized my Lightsaber v2.

Raindrop R2 still available from me

Convincing me to sell is a different story though

Ok. But first impressions?

Jailhouse blues actually quite simple to make; just insert o-ring or plastic tabs between the stem and the clicker and you're done. Takes a freaking long time to complete though.

Pandas are usually black springs inserted into various tactile/sclicky switches. Kinda like ghetto greens if you use it on blues.

Personally I prefer Jailhouse blues than Ergo clears, but it's a small enough difference that most users won't really feel it.

Yup, it's always personal preference. I'm just trying too hard to emulate certain aspects of Topre that I really like into MX switches because I need that for my custom layouts

Buckling springs.

I'm not venturing into ALPS until they have a semi-steady keycap base.

Nice. Currently on the fence about the whole Novatouch thing. I really want a solid alu case for it, but it seems like I would need to make one myself.

Just another question though; how does the stabs feel? Can compare against Filco's Costar and clipped Cherry?

MX BLUES


BUCKLING SPRING



Decide, peasant.

It always depends...

If EDC then handgun better.

If blowing bloody holes around the office, I'd rather use a buckling spring.

Currently carrying my Lightsaber to the office because I love the feel. Once the Tsangan kit arrives, my life is complete.

Stock blues. Gonna re-solder once raindrop Tsangan kit arrives with my new SMD LEDs.

Not that many actually. Call for a gathering and see ghost.

Lightsaber + MX Blues + Raindrop R2

I have trained my colleagues well.

More like I trained them well...

At least you have colleagues that use MKB. Mine all wonder why I spend so much money on keyboards.

Dat capslock on the short shift.

In other news, I might be starting a GB for dark red and black keycap set late this year. After the Midnight and Pulse set

Lel.

Yeah, Sith GB gonna happen end 2014 or early 2015. If you can try to contribute la. I will do it my style (alpha base + 60% minimum mods) which is slightly different from Matt3o's style (alpha base + TKL minimum mods). I have base colourways already, but currently thinking about how to incorporate novelties without breaking copyrights because I wanna make it SA profile.

You slowly wait la. SP turnaround time for GB is 6-8 weeks, then go to Massdrop fulfillment center one week for packaging, then another 2 weeks to reach Malaysia. Minimum wait is 2 months.

@ssdroped again

Loving the layout on my Lightsaber so much right now.

I think I have hit the jackpot for my endgame. Now open for sale; all the keyboards in my signature at discounted price excluding the lightsaber and ergodox (nostalgia, bro).

PM me if you are interested.

Nah, just those in my siggy. I will update the WTS thread tonight when I get home.

What size?

Eh, B is RGB meh? I thought it only supports simple lighting modes?

Yeah, Topre is endgame for retail boards. For tinkers like me, I will only be satisfied when I can get a customizable Topre... Like a Lightsaber Topre or something.

Yeah, I know. It's like GON right?

Bottom RGB but top is standard LEDs?

But got zonal lighting and reactive lighting?
