How much woukd a kmac ii cost? Also how to buy it ahh is there any groupbuy coming up for it?

Filco have a controller above the arrow keys hidden in the casing. So nop no low profile cases for filco.

I'm the same as you. Few months ago i was looking everywhere for a low profile case for filco or any TKL low profile boards. Ended up buying a poker ii because there's low profile cases readily available for it.

But decided i still need the arrow keys so i sold the poker and got myself a b.87 instead

There's this too for way cheaper price. http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r...id=&abbucket=11

But it uses kailh switches though you could desolder them and use cherry/gateron switches instead.

These came in the mail today

Hah i didn't order the child deals only wanted the glow in the dark nuka cola.

What lube do you guys use for cherry stabilizers? Is oil better than grease? Grease seems to make the plastic part a little gummy.

How much would this cost roughly if there would be a gb? Such a beauty.

Filco for me. Switching from first board with costar stabs to a board with cherry stabs (even after clipping the stabs) takes some time to get used to in fact i'm still not too happy with cherry stabs until today but i just use it anyway.

PCB 卫星轴 for pcb mount

Pretty neat looking board for that price. Too bad no TKL

yep.

Legit. Never had issues. Previously bought a poker 2 from them through the facebook pm, got the board the next 2 day after payment. Found out a keycap were defected, sent them a photo and they sent me new ones for free within a few days again. Well that's just my experience with them not sure about others.

2977 purchased granite set on MD whuut...

Really tempted to get it too but there's triumph adler set at the same time and i could only choose one.

Anyone know where to get acrylic cut? Want to cut notches to allow for switch top housing removal.

Anyone did sip socket mods here? Does it have clearance issue with stickers?

Yeah i got into the TA drop

I saw SIP sockets without the shell on taobao but didn't save the link. So if without the plastic shell it wouldn't have clearance issue with the switch sticker?

1. I think you're confused here. Gateron black linear is LINEAR while ergo clear mx is TACTILE. The thing you should be comparing gateron black to is cherry mx black. Gaterons does not their own version of ergo clears / cherry mx clears.

Fair comparison would be,

Gateron Blues - Mx Blues
Gateron Browns - Mx Browns
Gateron Black - MX Blacks
Gateron Yellow - Heavier MX Blacks.
Gateron Reds - Mx Reds
Gateron Clears - Lighter MX Reds


2. Ergo clear has a stronger tactile bump than mx browns. I'm not sure about gateron browns.

3. If im not mistaken I've read the FAQ or somewhere on massdrop that says you cannot combine 2 drops shipment. Each of them is own its own.

Ah alright. Linear switches feels like nothing. No tactile bump, nothing in between. Just feels like a downward push and a little bit of spring tension depends on what spring you uses. For me the most similar to clears feeling wise i've used i guess is blues but without the click sound. I've not used other switches than cherry mx though like topre/buckling spring/alps/matias etc so i'm not too familiar with those. But for cherry clears are the most similar to blues for me. You should really try them at a retail shop though different people have different opinion. I like both linear and tactile switches personally.

Are you in a rush? If not you could probably wait for the pok3r and it comes in aluminium case originally. Someone posted the review before this just scroll up. If its the same price as poker 2 introductory price it's a bargain.

If not, http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index....oduct_list&c=44

Whats the full specs? Alu plate or acrylic plate or no plate?

Rumoured to be +$10 USD for the backlight version.

Sign up > join a drop > pay with paypal > wait for items to arrive. It's not really cheap after you factor in the exchange rate and shipping fees and the waiting time. Shipping costs about $7-$15 usually depending.

Sometimes some guys here will organize a group buy to share the shipping so you could just tag along.

Also if you want to get keycaps, can look for it yourself in taobao or look at the previous page, cloud is organizing a group buy for taihao double shot PBT keycaps currently.
