Good night

Good night.
Just got flash gun from friend to play around.

Recommend to buy on your own.
One set cost almost RM 400.

Two set will either kena GST

Dulu bulk 800usd no tax whatsover, becasue it is not taxable.
Now even though it is not taxable, GST still applies for item over MYR 500.
Unless zero rated, different story liao.

For people who wud like to buy PBT + Cherry profile at cheaper price
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/vortex-pbt-keycaps

The pbt is not as smooth as imsto pbt, but it is kinda the 2nd best after it.
Cherry profile is a plus

Hope to organize this soon.

Morning guys

Stock Filco
I planned to buy pegasus hoof and remap the keys.
I need CTRL in Caps Lock position. Already used to it in my kustom keyboards
Right now I have not touch the keyboard yet, just taking photos only.

Did you join Triumph Adler keycaps group buy on Massdrop ?

It is made in Malaysia. But PCB is not, but from korea.

Reason why we always use PCB from Korea is that,
Koreans, especially who are into MKB stuffs, they are more careful when designing the PCBs.
I don't like to generalize, but many of those Chinese made PCB, indeed have many problems.
Some more author seems to ignore users complaint, leave them no choice.

For this reason, I support the use of higher quality pcb. The price different is not a lot it seems, for about RM50.
But it could saves a lot of trouble.

WKL row has A profile.
WK has B profile because GMK dont have A profile mold for em.

Some of the details or text used in this set is still lacking.
1. The kit is typical 60/87/104-centric, hhkb layout, 1800 users suffer.
2. I see PRTSC instead of Prt Sc in the past GMK keycaps. That is a bit ugly.

Apart from that.. it is alright. Else the drop would not hit easily.

We are 130 sets away from 500 now.

What kind of korean pcb you used before?
I never encountered pad lifting but 2 times (1 time with my shitty solder when I'm still new, another time is pre-owned pcb which the guy did a bad job, already near-hangus state)

Closest is Filco you can try.
For which shop I am not sure.
F104 quality and the feeling more or less equal to Filco

Good afternoon.
Just finished changing my brand new Filco switches.
Because stock mx red is too sucks.

g104 got backlight
f104 dun have, but u can add urself. topkek

f104 anytime.

Will never use stock spring
Always 55g for me.

If you don't like linear, dont paksa urself to like linear
Gateron stock linear got 3 weights, 1 is clear with 45g spring, 1 is red with 60g spring, and 1 more black is 80g spring kinda heavy.
Gateron switches are smooth to start with, and they comes with a little lube.

GON

Last photo for tonight.

Kinda frustrated whenever I desolder mass produced keyboard, Ducky, KBT, IKBC, Filco..etc.
The solder melts really slow that I have to add my Kester solder for reflow, so it is easier to melt.

Kester solder wire is really good, highly recommended for anybody to do soldering works.

Took me about +- 8 hours time to do everything, excl cleaning

For this I did not lube the switch, I left it at "default". Not worth to spend so much of time
You can apply a thin layer. Also depends on the viscosity of your lube.
Lubing thicker oil will definitely making it more silent.

mount to centre hole position

how come the plate is blocking?
the plate should support all kind of layout, if it is a decent one.

well. I always test first before soldering anything.
At least, when counter such situation where the pcb is designed for universal fit
i will put keycaps to test first

Check my thread for keycaps.
Cheap only.

Custom controller the best controller

but I only left 2 keyboards now.
