The seller said its vintage blacks with 55g springs. I don't really know how to differentiate vintage blacks. It might just be normal lubed blacks. unsure.gif

Vintage Blacks or old blacks have a bigger cherry logo on the switch tops.

You can read more about older switches here. There's probably more characteristics you need to look out for. tongue.gif

Anyone used USPS before? May I ask how long does it usually take for an item from the US to reach to Malaysia?

If is the first class mail with tracking, max should be around 14 days. Usually is more than a week.
The fastest is DHL global express 5 days from my experience.  smile.gif

Okie  icon_rolleyes.gif  Then I consider myself very fortunate that mine still works for so long haha.

Btw, I'm searching through Taobao ...found some keyboards but probably need someone to translate for me haha.

(Keycool stuff too expensive)

Want your opinions  sweat.gif

I suggest you to avoid those. Weird layout. It's like an ANSI layout with and ISO enter and the "/" key.
What's your budget? Pretty sure there's affordable mkb's locally. Don't need to resort into weird brands. imo, just my 2cents. laugh.gif

Heya,

i'm not sure if ducky sells those small parts but I know Filco does.

Try finding someone who can get them locally or alternatively this method might work:

Its been a long time since I've dropped by, same goes to GH as well and I saw there's a local custom keyboard? That's a milestone for the community here. I've recently just joined the group on facebook as well. Hope to see the community expand further here smile.gif
Good luck peeps.

^ +1, Avoid mechanicalkeyboards.com, maybe look at taobao instead(google translate works well). I don't think the amount of item you're looking at justify's the shipping cost anyways. Taobao would be cheaper and quicker.

anyone here offer services for spring replacements?
i might want to get a mx clear board and swap with 62-68g korean springs.

If you can source the springs on your own, I'm pretty sure most if not a couple of members here are able to help you for a fee. smile.gif

i've already ordered 62g, 65g, 68g korean springs and krytox 104.  smile.gif

Actually, modding is pretty simple if you have the right tools. smile.gif
The biggest hassle would be if your switches are already soldered on the pcb/plate. Then you'll have to desolder everything unless you plate allows the switch top to be removed.
