Brown switch quieter than black ah? I though the tactile will cause more noise? or is that just a feel? just want a quiet compact keyboard for my office work. so hard to find leh. hahaha

I tried blue for one day. Thats it. Swapped it with my black at home. Then sell. Time to buy new one. Office cannot use blue or any clicky one. Even black quite noisy for office tbh, especially if you type fast.

By steel plate you mean the bottom layer of the casing? Im looking at doing a steel plate at the bottom, then stack it up with carbon fiber. Thinking of using carbon fiber for that plate between the keycaps and the pcb board. But pcb board a bit hard. Was watching them hardwire they keyboard instead. What do you thing?
Apparently theres one in sungai buloh. Sc tech or something. |

QUOTE(cloud8992 @ Apr 23 2015, 09:19 PM) check my signature down below if you want to buy gateron switches (if you are not familiar with gateron switches you can ask around how good are they here Gateron switches are really cheap!  ) are they as reliable as the cherry MX? I suppose for first build its better to use Gateron? Are these pcb mounted or plate mounted? I think I will need plate mounted if i want to hardwire the switches instead of using a pcb board.QUOTE(DarkSilver @ Apr 23 2015, 10:30 PM) Maybe Ducky Legend(released not long ago) Mechanical Keyboard will feel better or have better quality compared to Filco due to it's aluminium construction. Nobody seems to have stock for the majestouch 2 black tkl version. By the way, I weighted a Filco MJ2 TKL(87 Keys @ TKL Layout) vs a Ducky Shine 4(108 Keys @ Full Layout). Filco MJ2 TKL, despite having lesser keys and non-LED here, still heavier than Ducky Shine 4. And, don't forget about Vortex branded keyboards. The latest Vortex POK3R Keyboard is using pretty thick aluminium case.   |

QUOTE(dadudeneverabides @ Apr 24 2015, 01:05 AM) Plate-mount and PCB-mount have virtually no difference. Most PCBs can accept either and if you mounting on a plate the difference is minimal anyway. Should I go the non-PCB route, a PCB mount switch will not have any impact as well? I do want to follow this guy:- http://cubiq.org/build-your-very-own-pc-keyboard |

QUOTE(dadudeneverabides @ Apr 24 2015, 02:08 AM) No impact because PCB mounted switches just have 2 extra plastic slots at the bottom for better attachment to the PCB. Looking around for a cutter as well. Not easy to find. Not quite sure how its done in US though but was going through geekhack and this thread popped up http://builder.swillkb.com/ which led to this guy https://www.bigbluesaw.com/ Not sure how much the damage will be. If you're following matteo's route, I suggest you settle the plate first. Find a cutter. SC Tech in Sungei Buloh can't handle all the materials (5mm acrylivc) I want, so I'm still searching. |

Wow. So many things to do with a mechanical keyboard. I suppose stickers lube and grease all come after youve assembled the keyboard?
