guys wan to ask
if razer keyboard wire have a bit torn
is it possible mod other stuff to make it nicer?
and razer blackwidow ultimate i saw video they say can install other keycap
can i get any keycap and install on that keyboard by myself?

Not very sure about replacing the cable, it have a huge chunk of plastic at the place which it connects to the keyboard housing. If you're modding the cable, not sure if it'll look nice.

Keycaps, Yes. Any MX stem compatible keycaps will do. But, you'll very likely run into issue with the spacebar row, because it's not standard layout. So take some time and read up before you drop your money on buying any keyset.

actually, i think it is perfectly fine for a RM180 keyboard. u still can replace keycaps for those frequently used keys and skip the bottom row, and i doubt u will type ctrl, winkey, alt as frequent as a-z, etc. the caps on my razer bwu (first gen) after 3 years of daily usage still perfectly fine when i sold it. mind you, i only have 1 mkb that time and i used it everyday, i even bring it outstation if i carry my laptop with me.

i'd say, go ahead, pull the trigger (after u tested it and make sure no problem with switches and led), and enjoy the mkb.

the wkl kit always have lower order because of the expensive price tag and there's without any doubt more standard wk user compared to wkl user.
i usually see moq of 25 or 50 for wkl kit. i don't recall seeing anyone setting 100 moq for wkl kit.
some groupbuy organizers in GH attempt to make it easier for everyone by including wkl kit into the base tkl kit.

SA Retro
Taihao GB

Yeah, 100 moq for WKL kit does seem unreasonable in my opinion. Some guy mentioned that Troubled Minds set is the best-selling custom keycap GB of 2015 (not sure how true) and yet it couldn't hit WKL moq. I hope Massdrop / SP produces the WKL kit anyway out of sympathy for the users.

I might be reading it wrongly but the Tai-Hao link above doesn't include WKL kit into the base kit? Looks like an add-on to me.

also, all of GMK's and cherry profile PBT dyesub keycaps comes in full set for standard 104 + wkl.
*
I've not had the pleasure of owning GMK yet sad.gif But I did just buy a set of Originative Carbon Black, comes in standard 104 + WKL. It's only the second WKL compatible set I have, after the DSA Dolch purchased from bro quovadis123. In fact, I didn't even know the Dolch included WKL pieces and I have no use for them.

one word of caution, lurk GH at your own risk...or in this case, your wallet's risk.
2 reasons.
1) the groupbuys in gh will make your wallet bleed
2) some of the groupbuys in gh will make your wallet bleed without receiving your end product.

be cautious of popular groupbuy as of recently, they are taking groupbuy participants as donors.
they will delay you for 1-2 years. replacing your missing keys take just as long.
i'm trying my best to be patient with them until i receive all my sets, and then i'm not joining the gb organized by them any more unless there's more rules to make the groupbuy organizers more responsible.
*
Wow that is ridiculous. You mean you're still waiting for keycaps to arrive? Over 1 year already?

I heard the story of DrugEr / JackAss cheating people's money on DSA Dolch, but I thought that was a one-off case and no other drama happening inside GH.

But for me, the main reason why I won't join a GH groupbuy (at least not yet) is purely due to the complexity. Judging from the Tai-Hao link above, reading the first post already so messy can get headache. I am afraid of misreading something or missing out a small detail.

Is it ok to take out and insert the mirco usb cable on the keybpard?  Can it withstand for at least 5 years if i put out and insert say once a day?  Using V60 now..
*
V60 is mini USB bro, not micro.

Personally I won't recommend doing that, I've been doing the same for a month and it does seem a bit looser already.

Use a usb hub and a short cable maybe. The USB A is more durable imo.

i'm not sure about massdrop, but SP did made some kits that didn't hit moq a year back or so. that was when their PMK website just got started or something. can't recall what set it was.
i haven't join any SP keycaps groupbuy for quite some time already. my latest SP groupbuy was from EC's valentine set and before this, raindrop r2.
it took me quite sometime to jump into the WKL league due to the expensive WKL kit.
that's probably why it's hard to hit MOQ, expensive, and most WKL users go for GMK or BSP or cherry profile keycaps since it's all bundled together.

ahh, yes, that taihao gb has add-on for WKL after much request from interested participants.
those are dirt cheap, but it's cheaper to get from taobao instead of that GB actually...haha!!

yeah, coming end of next month will be 1 year anniversary since the start of the GB.

there's a lot of conman inside GH, some more distinct, while others work in a group wink.gif you can guess by the way they delay you with gazillions of excuses. interestingly, they have ppl to back them up. much like our politician's macai2.

at this point of time, i really don't want to recommend anyone joining groupbuys in GH as there's too much risk since the popular organizers have high tendency to delay the sh!t out of international orders. the other organizer whom i previously had trusted in, betrayed it with one of his latest GB. that's it for me, i have trust issue from now on with any GB done by that 2 organizers.

sometimes we do try to do a subgroupbuy from a groupbuy to consolidate our orders in order to save shipping cost, but it's only for selected ones.
just keep an eye out wink.gif

alternatively, you can get a retractable mini-usb cable from Daiso.
just plug it to your keyboard and retract them when not in use.

Any of you know whether Cherry MX switches and Razer's Kailh switches have identical keycaps? If so, can they be interchanged?

Also, if they are, anyone knows where I can get some unique keycaps for my Razer Blackwidow?
