Wow. So many things to do with a mechanical keyboard. I suppose stickers lube and grease all come after youve assembled the keyboard?

Before. You lube sticker the switch before assembly and soldering.

sticker is optional lube and grease is the same thing bro

I'll have to do a bit more research on those things. Gateron switch with sticker and lube got any effect ah?

Hehehe, you can skip both of those if you just want a basic build.

In the name of experimenting, I will do all the test on the extra switches that I'm ordering, then see if I'll do to all my switches.

Gaterons mostly use springs other than those that came with Cherry, so that's a pretty interesting thing to me.

Are you joining the groupbuy organised by Cloud8992? Im getting a lot more switches than i need to experiment! Are you ordering lube from gon?

Nope, not this GB, coz I'm using MX clears for this build. No, not ordering from GON anymore, cloud8992 showed me cheaper way to buy stickers from China.

As for lube, I'm buying from eBay, then I'll ship everything one shot from US to here. I'm not sure whether they will be accepted by the forwarding company or not. Last time I shipped twice package that have liquid lens cleaner in it, and they shipped with no problem.

Edit: I think those that are prohibited are those containing alcohol and industrial use chemicals, at such a small volume of lube and grease, I doubt they will reject it.

Filco Majestouch 2, where can i buy this from? is it a good keyboard for FPS gaming and some typing?

for gateron switches lube in not important unless you want super smooth linear cause gateron switches are consistent with their lubing.
gateron and cherry is using mostly the same except for the metal leaf and housing material other than that its the same.
i tested gateron blues without lube is really good and gateron clears with lube its godly

bought from here last week

keyboard does not effect your gaming skill those are all just gimmick.if your are playing keyboard intensive games like racing game, you should be getting cherry mx red or blacks due lower actuation point for double tapping which is not good for mx blue due to its white slider which makes the click sound and actuation point higher. Mx browns is also ok for gaming but not as smooth as MX red and black when comes to double tapping but just go with what ever switches you feel the best to your finger will do.

thanks

i understand that it doesn't improve on my ability but i want something that's more responsive for fps gaming such as CS GO. my rm19 keyboard doesn't quite do it so well anymore. few keys are not as responsive as i hope it can be. btw, ur ducky shine 3, negotiable?

Okay..thanks for the info...
But I still think Blues is nice Haha

Yea, for me, Blue is still the best. The satisfying clicky sound and the tactile feedback.

For fastest response speed, I guess, it's still Red. It's due it has lower actuation point and linear feedback(softer and easily register each press without needing to press each button to the end completely).

Hehe..But I at first I don know what best switch that can makes me feel use membrane.So, if I don use MKB (if go CC use membrane KB) at least my 'feel' is not lost

My advice, go test it out yourself on the demo set. I highly believe that once you used mechanical keyboard, you will not like the feel of membrane.
Even saying that, I can still use the chiclet keyboard on laptops and the membranes on uni comp lab just fine. Maybe it's just me, but a keyboard is still a keyboard no matter what. Just that the only difference is whether you bottom out or not and the feedback is a little different.

Else, if you want something closer to membrane feel, you can try out topre switches. Some people said that it feels like a better membrane switch( these people didn't like topre ). While others say topre are the end game keyboard. If you like topre, no other switches will come close in terms of feel.

Just today, there's a reddit thread on r/dota2 which says one of the player actually uses a topre keyboard in a lan tournament.

I'm very agree with you because some pipul say it is not the same 'feel' like membrane when I've my 'baby' Filco MJ2 TKL(Beige,Blue MX), totally it is like " antara langit dengan bumi"...

wow! i'm glad to see this thread is kicking and alive with posts after the drought!

happy to see more mkb users flocking in, this also means there's possibility of running our very own groupbuy in near future, though it may only be a wishful thinking but at least there's a glimmer of hope now

That keyboard is...
Topre Realforce 103U SE4200 (White casing) Variable Weight (30g/45g/55g)

Yea, i just watched a video of someone reviewing the keyboard. First time i found out that there's variable weight in a keyboard. More keyboard science to learn.

Still, I don't really understand why he chose to use a keyboard with variable weights for gaming. Consistency is one of the highest requirement imo,for gaming.

Btw guys, I noticed that when I type on the keyboard. Sometimes there will be duplicated characters coming out. It happens randomly and occasionally. I'm not sure whether it's because of faulty switches or because of my own way of typing which causes it to double press without me knowing.

Anyway,it is not restricted to a certain key. When it happens, I will try to check that particular key and tried pressing on it a few times to see whether it happens again but sadly I wasn't able to reproduce the double character output no matter how slow/fast I click or tap or double tap( double tap will have 2 characters, no additional characters ). So I kinda feel like it's not a problem with the switches.
