Nope, I assume the model is Cherry G80-3800 (AKA MX 2.0), and I need to tell you that it is seriously light due to lack of backplate and pretty flimsy build.

Unless you actually like pcb mounted feel ;P

Good morning

Finally got my first mkb keyboard. Ducky g2pro mx black with abs keycaps at 199 only.

I find it better than getting the version with pbt dye sub which is around 409. I could spend 210 to get the keycaps I want instead now. Anyone selling keycaps here?

Btw, Mx black seems a little hard to press, maybe compared to my lenovo laptop keyboard which is very light and I'm kinda used to typing on this laptop keyboard for 3 years. So it might need some time to get used to typing on a harder and deeper accentuation point.

Also, one question i have in mind is what are the korean springs that everyone is talking about for mx black and vintage mx black? From what i know, vintage black are smoother because of the difference in materials of the plastic used. but what about the springs? isnt mx black advertised at 60g force? then does the 62g/65g make it smoother or stiffer? If I were to change the springs in the board, how much are the springs??

First, congrats on your first ever MKB purchase. Welcome to the club.
You made a wise choice by spending less for a keyboard, and saving up for later keycaps replacement.

Korean springs are springs invented by korean for the purpose of modification.
Vintage black springs and new black springs are similar, 65G actuation, bottom weight at 80G.
The korean 62g/55g/xxg indicates bottom-out weight. If you are buying 62G korean spring means it bottoms out at 62G which is significantly lighter. (20G difference is damn a lot)
Springs cost about RM20 for 100 pieces.

congrats.

anyone have stock poker2 keycaps for sale?

I have one set that have seen very little usage, It is white though.

how much? pm me thanks

thanks so much for clarifying the difference between the springs with me. that kinda confirms what i initially think of it, because it doesn't really make sense to say that a 62g spring is lighter than a 60g force switch and I sort of figure out that it meant the bottom weight.

That kinda makes me wanna make the mod immediately. I'm all in for a lighter switch but heavier than mx red. However I'm worried because my keyboard is still new and is currently under warranty, I do know that switching the springs means that I have to void the warranty due to swapping springs requires desoldering the switches.

Where can I buy those springs? and should i change them? from what i know, the only problem for mkb is either led dying or the switch causing some double press issues. Which 1, my board doesn't have much led and i don't really use them so i don't have to worry. 2, I don't hear much double press problem and the only double press problem that i hear are from razer keyboards..

I found that group buy but i thought of not spending so much again right after I buy the keyboard. Might just want to try a 37 set pbt first, the most i want is also a 87 set, does the group buy have link for 87 set? but from what is see, its for full size... or i could save up and buy some second hand ones that some of you might have buy but didn't use much.

jeez, that cat keycap.

there is 87 set but most of the 87 set price is only RMB 30-50 less than fullset so its not worth getting 87, and also easier to sell fullset than 87.
ad for 37 will not look nice if you dont have a matching set.

but then i'm not getting another keyboard and it feels like a waste getting the extra 20-30 keycaps which i will never use. :/

on the other hand, I don't really mind getting the full set,but I don't really like the color combination that is provided in the link, some of the color combination i just don't like, while the miami one just look too lala..

Any other pbt which is darker in color or maybe combination with white?

but u going to resell ur keycaps later. trust me.

Okay, i trust you..
anyway, i didn't check at the shop yesterday but i notice that there's some rust on the usb connection and some of the letters on the keycaps are stained... :/

Guess that's what you get for a cheap EOL keyboard.. think they're just getting rid of their remaining stock.. :/

Any cheap pbt keycaps to recommend?

wanted to try pbt due to all the praises that i heard about it.

check the link given. its pbt

I've checked but i don't like the color combination.. Guess I'm out of luck?

SO NICE.

Guys, i have some question. Are these keycaps good to get?

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r....=1&abbucket=12#

I like the one which is grey and black. Since it's not white, i think it might be less likely to have discoloration..

those are taihao ABS double shot is one of the best value keycaps and you can get them locally from cyntrix tech or their re-seller like heavyarms
