Man! I was so tired yesterday I didn't get a chance to put the keys on. Will try tonight.

I didn't build this keyboard. I bought from Apollos in Korea who designed and build this keyboard. He named it 2TU for 2 Thumbs Up or TUTU. So he put the transparent housing, not me. The LED has 6 styles which is kinda cool.

I thought 55g is heavier spring than stock MX Blues so I don't think I will have any issues with keys not popping up.

An earlier bro said that the space bar switch is a bit to the right. Its true. I can't fit the Code Clear spacebar because the switch is one notch too far into the right. But I can put a Bro set and Vortex space bar because they have an additional slot. These are all 6.25.

Ah cool. Maybe the code's spacebar is a little bit different.
55g feels heavier than stock blues ? o.o
I'm planning to get 62g to swap with stock blues for my upcoming build.
I would like a slightly heavier feel.
Do let us know biggrin.gif Since you've used stock blues and now this 55g blues laugh.gif !
Enjoy your board !

its made by abostudios but you can get them from techkeys.

It's a little pricey at $0.50 per piece, maybe you could source it from taobao it might be cheaper. (I don't know if taobao has it btw)

Looking at my board, the transparent casing is indeed by abstudios! Thanks joonwei23.

Edit: yeah, I will share my experience on Blues - I have used stock Blues in Razer and Poker 2. I have not used on a modified stem, so this will be interesting to find out. Also, I have a JD40 from ctrlalt.io on its way to me, which I chose MX Green and is even heavier. We will see how all these compare biggrin.gif

wow you got the JD40. I think it's a little too small for me. Even 60% is just nice for me and I don't think I can go any lower.
Sure sure, greens will be stiffer tho. I've only used it on my caps lock. biggrin.gif I'm trying to find a sweet spot between blues and greens.

For those who are looking for clear switch top, may look for gateron clear switch top from TaoBao. Good for its price but...

Yeah if there's one with cherry logo i'll be all over it. abostudio's one isn't that bad but I heard the first batch breaks or doesn't fit tightly.
Btw, can you link the gateron one ? I wanna have a look tongue.gif

EDIT : wait nvm. I found it.

These ones ? For RGB purposes I guess its fine sweat.gif
I asked 7Bit @ Deskthority he says he's not bringing it in anymore. Must be something to do with Corsair's agreement with them sweat.gif

i'm not sure in particular for that one you've linked but it doesn't do anything other than aesthetic purposes.
(i.e switch stickers can be seen through which gives it a nice look) biggrin.gif

Assuming it's a korean spring, 55g korean springs are lighter than stock mx blue/brown/red springs. Cherry springs are measured at actuation but korean springs are measured bottomed out.

If i remember correctly a 60g korean spring is equivalent to stock cherry mx blue/brown/red springs.

It is interesting to note that Korean spring is lighter. As I am using this, it sounds like you are right. Gotta use a lot more before I can safely conclude. I have put my GMK Dolch set. It is so beautiful.

Sorry .. More keyboard pimping .. With GMK Dolch and EK Red CC. I wish I had a Blue CC..

I can't put the standard Caps Lock but have to put the Stepped one. And luckily, the Dolch spacebar has additional hole for the cherry stem that was off to the right. And, I'm glad there is also a shorter right Shift.

korean springs are measured by bottom out force and the measurement that you see in cherry switches are actually actuation forces.

yeah the CC is higher profile because it should go with the Function row instead of number row. Perhaps I should put function row in the keyboard?

GMK is really superb feel. Im tempted to go into Ivan's current GMK group buy. The one with reverse beige. Anyone here went in?
