45USD for 85 Clears switches expensive or not? Or should I just buy them from Taobao for a better deal?
If you can get the diodes, resistors, led and whatever other stuffs from him better. Save shipping[V26] Lowyat.Net Mechanical Keyboard Club

QUOTE(hmwgbworld @ Dec 27 2014, 07:42 PM) Taobao have vintage blacks, 5rmb each. thanks for the info interesting really curious how vintage black feels like ?i only tried redsOr you buy the vintage blacks' board at 240~280rmb each and harvest by yourself or I do the desoldering for u to save a little cost. Normally old boards after harvested 100+ switches, only 70% are useable. Just my 2cent. |

QUOTE(cloud8992 @ Dec 27 2014, 09:56 PM) You can buy and try.Hope you will appreciate the feel. Veterans tried many switches before reach a conclusion it's the best for linear. Although it's not recommended for newcomers to get vintage black directly. It's same like Topre, if you get Topre at the beginning before you tried other tactile, you will think Topre is pretty normal feel. So, will sell the Topre off at the end of the day. And please don't get 55g in the beginning also, same story. Start at level 1, end your game at level 100. Need farming before you understand what is end game. Get end game item at the beginning, you don't understand the passion behind keyboard. Don't start your game at level 100, and get end game directly. People won't jelly, just pity the great keyboard falls to the hand of sohigh ppl. QUOTE Sohigh ppl forever will marked as sohigh ppl. It's just my humble advice for keyboard enthusiasts. |

Hey guys wanna get some more opinions on lube to use on switches that can be sourced locally.
@dadudeneverabides suggested singer lube previously in the thread before this. Any other option that i might want to look out for? I'm lubing cherry mx blues btw if that matters. |

For tactile you can get the lube kit from mechanical keyboards.com Since you're getting lubes for blues, get thick mix ba And you're going to lose clickyness. Just to warn you first. |

Cause although i like the clickyness but blues feels too heavy! So thought of lubing to reduce the tension a little.
Nvm decided not to lube blues anymore but i'm lubing the springs since i bought from sprit and it doesn't come lubed. Is there any that i can buy locally? Is the Dupont teflon silicone lubricant good enough for spring lube? This post has been edited by justordinary: Dec 28 2014, 09:58 AM |

Very nice scull, the color so vibrant. Better than authentic 1 at least in terms of color matching. |
