Guys, can guide me where to get a set of red on white key set? Prefer PBT doubleshot if can. I saw a set of vortex on eBay, but the seller said it have some minor flaws on the legends on certain keys.

I need a set for my upcoming mech kb. (cherry MX)

I PMed him/her, not sure if it is possible, coz the set I want wasn't in the GB list, but available on taobao, also TaiHao set, looks almost the same like Vortex Bi-color red white.


Thanks for suggesting, I found it on Taobao. If the GB can't fit my set, I'll take it on my own. XD

Guys, may I know where you guys buy Krytox lube?

Prefer USA site la, mostly I saw are out of stock, or sold in huge volume, which is super expensive and I don't need that much.

Or anyone here have extras that can sell me some.
Project incoming, but not too soon, just wanna get things prepared.

EDIT: I found on EBay. Well if anyone got extra locally, I don't mind buying just don't rip me off..

Oh yeah Sprit, huhuhu, golden springs, good stuff. Thanks for the info, I'll check that out.

Yeah I'll check with him, but actually these are used for MX clears, so I'm not sure what to use, many on GH used 105. (Higher number higher viscosity right?)

How about the GPL205 grease? I'll just test a couple of switches first, then only I'll decide if I want to lube them all, the set I'm buying already comes with 62g Korean springs.

I'm new to all the lube stuff, definitely need more experiments.

Thanks for the advice, thus I think I know why they say only apply very thin layer.

Thanks for the advice bro. Well, I'm not not using linear this time, so I think I'll just get the 205 and try. Can't really find 107/103 on eBay. Probably need to dig in GH.

Yeah, I saw, but if only getting that from GON, the shipping hurt so much, if from US, can combine with my other shipment and come at once. Around 20$ for gon's shipping? I'll go check again.

Hey guys, sorry for disturbing the gateron switch discussion, where do I post a keyboard build log?

Thanks for pointing that out to me, I just posted a log over there.

But my stuff are not in yet, so I've just listed down all the stuff that will be included in this build. Should be able to post some pics next week.

Well, it is a little sad to see no place for such build here..

I will post some here when I get my hand on those stuff, currently I paid big cash, but nothing arrive yet, just a B.87 build. haha

Well, very huge thanks to Zennasyndroxx and 0168257061, they helped me a lot for getting those stuff and answering all my crappy questions..

plus: my cheapo dlsr at hometown, now got phone only.

Will do. But my first project, might have some quirks here and there, and might need some wait coz i'm still buying stuff.
Still have switches, lubes, stickers, and custom USB cable haven't buy. Current damage already very high.
And now i got my iPhone only, might need to go back Sban take my 550D.

B.87 from winkeyless

BTW, anyone want anything from GONs? Stickers / Lube? I myself will be buying lube and stickers, shipping expensive yo, but I won't charge you a lot, max few ringgit lo, then distribute.

edit : max few ringgit is for the shipping from Korea to here. I know winkeyless got more options of colors, but I'm only taking red and I need that LUBE..

edit 2: No more ordering from GONs..

Erm, shipping I mean, share shipping, Item price will be according to exchange rate. Idk how about the shipping locally, can't really fold the stickers sheet.

I was hoping for this answer for some time already...hehehe

Woah, PET... Thanks for shining light on this. Also looks quite thick.

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.

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.

Really hope it will happen though.. Then I'll have more keyboards..XD

I think I can imagine the Topre feel, watched some videos, really soft and elegant sound, hope I can try one.
