Hi guys, sharing a quick worklog on building the B.87 Korean custom keyboard from winkeyless. This is my first time posting here, malula.


I've purchased the PCB and the acrylic casing from winkeyless.kr

White PCB + RGB Diffuser + Acrylic casing with the other components like resistors, diodes and also the leds from them. Got my Red Gateron switches from taobao since it's massively available at taobao at the moment.



Here's how the PCB looks like. Pretty neat stuff.


I've soldered the diodes after that. The SMD diodes are pain in the ass to solder with but when


The resistors for the switch LED is soldered after that


Cherry PCB Stabilizers is installed to support all the keys that's longer than a single 1u key


Mounting some switches to lock the PCB into position before soldering them


After all the switch soldering, the LEDs and also the extra RGB strip is soldered into place.


This is how it looks like after getting the main components soldered


Attached the top part of the keyboard to the bottom part of the case, added white blank keycaps and bling bling!


Few pictures of the final assembled keyboard





Here's a video of the RGB lighting below the keyboard and the typing test.

Nice!
Why this and not GONs?
Although i living in Korea, I also not that rich to use that...xD

GON's price very cantik. tak ngam my client.

besides, GON don't have RGB for his nerd board yet. and he's slow in fulfilling order for the past month.

winkeyless, today pay tomorrow ship use EMS. then GON got these and that inspection fee blabla which is not needed imo.

Wow. Very nice mkb.
The lighting mods damn syok.

hi i have cm strorm that have partial back-lit .. in case want to insert for the balance of the keyboard how much would it cost?

Thank you

You mean the quickfire pro? unfortunately, the PCB doesn't support full led backlit

how much the costs of building these keyboard?

hello sean

around 1k+ at the time of buying with keycaps. bought it around when ringgit value drop

yikes.

How much is the acrylic casing ? I'm interested with it and could you PM me more detail about it ?

Very nice work indeed.. you spend 1k++ for a keyboard must be really worth it. Nak rasa air tangan boleh?
