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!

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

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.
