looks like a double shot dsa keys to me
but i know that excitement when you found a mech keyboard at work or somewhere random

u mean now the switch cannot press already?

i used to be clicky blue lover but now turn into linear lover
no regrets though

EDIT: i have to add, i didn't like the stock mx black and stock mx red. the black springs are slightly too heavy for me, and the red is slightly too light for me, and both feels scratchy.
i have lubed old wyse keyboard's mx black on my nerd tkl using mx blue's stock spring, they feel wonderful.
now i'm re-building my ducky shine 2 from mx blue to lubed gateron red using 55g korean gold plated spring.
still in the process of modding it.

what's your budget?

so many new filco, i waiting for 2nd hand filco

if fullsize layout and no need led backlit,
1) Filco
2) Ducky Zero
3) CM Storm Trigger (but this one i think macam EOL liao or hard to find)

if fullsize layout with led backlit,
1) Ducky Zero Shine

if tenkeyless layout and no need led backlit,
1) Filco
2) Ducky Zero Tenkeyless

if tenkeyless layout with led backlit,
1) CM Quickfire Rapid-i

*Note: the number sequence denotes the recommendation level, with 1 being the highest.

i is banana and i use google chrome page translator to beli taobao

i'm actually more interested in wooden case keyboard
but the cost of it..

no, need to find design

in the case of one or a few broken LED, having warranty is quite a headache because:-

1) you don't want to DIY because it'll void the warranty
2) you need to wait long long if you RMA

i am interested until i saw 2 weeks old
me is looking for lama lama second hand punya...haha! but good luck!

pakai getah mestilah x sebes xpakai

i have done some mods to my friend's keycool 87 mx blue.
the people surrounding him also complain him.
so i cut and put in the nonslip mat inside the casing, underneath the PCB of the board.
this reduces the hollow plastic case sound when bottoming out.

and of course i put in o-rings as well.
right now it's only the clicky sound from the blue switch and a muffled bottoming sound if u type with rage mode on.

kan bagus if it's RM400 instead of USD$400?

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

FIFY

if it's just to clear the switch inside, you don't really have to take the switch out.
one of the way you can try is to remove the keycaps of that affected switch, press down the switch until you see enough opening for you to spray some high pressured air inside or something similar.

if this doesn't work, then only resort to changing the switch.

not so soon man
my recommendation is that if you need it urgently, better get the cable from taobao or elsewhere. i can't guarantee or give any ETA at the moment.

the ones i mention doesn't need you to open the housing or desolder the switch. this is one easy way you can try before resorting to those methods.
1) remove keycaps from that affected switch
2) use ur finger or tweezer or any tools to press down the stem of the switch
3) blow air into the opening using your mouth or any tools that can blow air into that opening

per type?
meaning 5 different types of grade oil/grease?
or can it be 2oz x 5 of the same grade oil/grease?

i'm in for 10-20g of GPL 107 if you need any numbers of interested ppl.
FYI, GON is selling USD$11 for ~9-10g for GPL 103 or GPL 107.
if we can get the price cheaper than that, then it's justifiable.
but of course, distribution also headache since need to get proper bottle containers

alternatively, we can try to share shipping from GON haha!

i have GPL 104, and personally i think it's a bit too low in it's viscosity.
and i heard from a very reliable source that GPL 107 itself is very good.
2oz x 5 is about 283gm?
need at least 14 ppl to take 20g each and maximum of 28 ppl to take 10g each

ahh, you are tactile user.
i'm not too sure about mx clears d, and i didn't use krytox's grease before, so i've no idea about that haha!

i have mx clears on my ergo dox, but i'm not sure if the housing has issue or because i didn't lube the stem, it sometimes can be..."stucky".
i need to find some time to test out different lube on my mx clears.
reason why i didn't lube it is because i want to get maximum tactile from the mx clears.

US$ 17.10 (tax incl.)

shipping mahal siot!

you are correct about the spring having to be of a certain weight to be able to push the stem and keycaps right back up.
but i used 62g spring for it, the spring force should be able to sprung the stem back up without any issue.
but because the mx clear i have was harvested from an old cherry board, i noticed quite a lot of the switch housing has dents on it, indicating that something heavy has been placed on top of the board. probably the boards are stacked up on each other before it was shipped to me.

i suspect that because of that, the housing might have internal damage to it, as in the "copper leaf" thing inside the switch, might have been bended more than it should, thus affecting the pressing and depressing of the switch.

probably the easiest way is to change housing altogether
