Bros, I recently bought some pcb mounted stabs off taobao.
For the 6.25X it's exactly like this picture:

I haven't use a bent wire before. Will it work with the keycaps properly ?
I know Ivan's GB had some problems and wires had to be remade.
I don't want to get a refund either since it's too problematic.
Any suggestions ?

This type of bent wire will work just fine.
As long as the wire turning points are right-angled (90°) u won't have any issue in installing then.
However, if u plan to use this bent wire with a plate; make the the plate have cut-out for wire, else the wire will most likely kicking with your plate underneath.

thanks, and noted. I might bend the wire on my own if it doesn't work. it should be okay right ?
thanks again smile.gif

No, if u try to bend in order to make it straight, it would became longer.
It will be really hard for me i think, to cut the wire and bend it again precisely.  sweat.gif

hmm yeah true. Didn't thought of that. Ahh well see. I'll figure it out.
What wire is suitable tho ? Incase I need to bend it. sweat.gif

Hmm I'm not sure what type of wire is suitable, but to save hassle i just replace it by using plate-mount type wire since it is straight.

Hmm alright then. Maybe ill Just use the 7x stab. I have like two tsangan kits that have not been touched before anyways. Lol thanks again buddy.

Sorry, didn't really know how it works...I mean the link you sent about the LED caps?

So at the bottom of each cap, there's an LED? If so, then how to connect all the electric circuit when I get the key caps. I always thought the LED lights are provided by the keyboard base, not the key caps.

Edit: I think I know how it works already, it's basically putting a coloured piece of plastic just above or next to the white backlight:
http://www.banggood.com/DayDream-LED-Cover...t-p-925837.html

I can't read Chinese, so is that 4.50 Yuan for 1 key cap? So changing the entire keyboard layout will cost a bomb? rclxub.gif

Can't find any info about the Ducky Shine TKL? I hope it's below RM400 as that's my budget sad.gif

Thanks for bearing with me notworthy.gif

450RMB for 10 of a colour I think

So I managed to sell my ThinkPad USB keyboard with TrackPoint and TouchPad for us$80 and use the money to buy my first Korean custom, 2TU with MX Blue for us$110. Is 2TU consider Korean custom? Very excited for it!
*
so you're the one that bought it eh ? laugh.gif
the turn off was the space bar placement. unsure.gif
I think it is considered a korean custom. just not really mass produced i think (?)

yeah, it wasn't terribly expensive and the timing was right as I just sold off the keyboard and have that fund in the Pay Pal. And after being in mech scene, I have never had a Korean custom and really want to see what the big deal was all about and the price is also pretty good. So, I just jumped on it. Didn't notice the space bar placement. What's wrong with it?
*
at one glance, I thought it was really off to the right side. Maybe a universal 6.25 would fit sweat.gif

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 !

may i ask where did you get those clear housing for the switches ? looks good can't  wait for you to put the caps on and light it up  drool.gif

its made by abostudios but you can get them from techkeys.
http://techkeys.us/collections/accessories...mx-switch-cover
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.
