Well, I'm not the one who kicked you out, but I guess you did things that really pissed the admins off from what I heard from some of them. They created a mech market, so why not use it? If you're so fond of browsing GH, you should notice GB and normal WTS is posted in different places right? It's just much easier to manage.

They set it up just to have a place that keyboard enthusiast have discussions on FB, taking the inspiration from vnmk just so you know. But if everyone also post their wts and bump like every few minutes, where will the post that is actually asking something constructive be? So having a mech market is much more manageable.

If you think they are making a f**k ton of money running GB, then please think again. Or try to run one by yourself. It's not like the stuff came from factory will automatic deliver to customer doorstep. The conversion rate by bank, bank charges, shipping, taxes, fuel(back and forth factory,post office and bank), sorting, man hour in handling and assembling stuff ,QC and etc. All of them have full time job, and they are spending so much time on these GB and sometimes even sacrifice sleep. What they earn? Probably at a loss.

You saw some cheap ass deal on taobao, but have you bought it, tried it? Or just reading those reviews posted on taobao? And you know the difference between ori and clone right? Just like you said you won't be spending money buying fake artisans, but spending money buying clone tools? How if the tool actually malfunction and cause some serious damage, is your Hakko solder station clone as well? And do you actually know the PCBs for the acrylic keyboard GB are custom ordered, and not some clone B87 like you saw on taobao, and the case also is custom designed and cut locally, try to find an exact 100% copy from taobao, doubt you can even find the same pcb. So you just neglect all those and slap on all their faces saying everything taobao also got, milking newbie, earning a s**t ton of money. Or you just unhappy that you're not the one doing it?

I also not sure what to say to you anymore sir. I'm not here to argue, I'm just telling things that you should know. And thing that I said is solely from my stance, not the others, thank you and hope you can actually read sir. You can join the group again, I will surely approve your request, but how long you'll stay, I don't know.

Yes, there is a mech market for buy and sell.

why do u even bother correctly people that dont want to be corrected?

help me complete my board better

congrats to the dude. ..

Banana here
Ah well, guess I'll just have a friend to help me out. Thanks.

yeah same for me to oo o ..

That SSK went for a wild ride eh? Almost went missing right?

OK. Let's be clear here. I'm not taking sides, and I'm not going to discuss anything that will not be relevant to the facts:

FB's MMKB group is for discussion. It will remain for discussions for the foreseeable future because there is a trading group. I have removed users/posts myself for violation of this, so this is nothing new.

As for the mech market group in FB, it is open to all to post, so I don't think there is an issue there.

As for your removal from the group itself, I will not say anything until a discussion with other admins.

There is a dedicated page for trading. You should post it there if you looking for buyer.

If you bias to them, you should leave at early stage. Otherwise will have conflicts at the future like now.

Ya, I agreed that.
Although I'm not in that group, but it's should be the way of doing things.

Another 15 pages, we will moving towards V29.

Do you guys think our community is big enough in these years?

From my perspective, active members are less, very very less.

If we can expand our community a lot, then I will move towards building a dedicated forum for mechanical keyboard community.

Our spending power too low to grow. Fact.

You are right. Thanks for your time.

Building a low to high end, keyboards selections. My target is joining all keyboards club into a centralised 1.
Of course, will include all the makers from normal to mechanical, custom as well.

I'm very realistic, I don't make loss from doing things.
Finding sponsorship, donations, and ads for sustain the forum.

THIS

But you still spend on my store. Have a little room to grow.

I am under the impression that the awareness about MKB has reach the stage where almost everyone knows about it already, at least PC enthusiasts/modders/builders/gamers.

Like 0168257061 says, spending power is low, which is true. Just look at the budget that people allocate when they ask for MKB recommendation.

Let's not go to keycaps yet since the price for decent keycaps are usually bigger than the budget set for their first MKB.

True that.

Take for comparison Ergodox. Normal price is about USD199, plus shipping is around USD219. Keycaps go for the range of USD88 for a dox.

Low budget of around RM200 would probably mean that you'll never join a SP GB, and resort to cheap-ish taobao or Taihao caps.

Middle budget RM300 means you'll only reach dye-sub levels.

High budget of RM400+ would end up buying Razer and realize the cap profile all wrong.

Anything above that and you'll probably never worry about "price" when it comes to keycaps.

Question is, regardless of quality and feeling and all that jazz, how many people can afford the FCF/disposable income to buy an MKB?

I am struggling to even buy a 500RMB keyset

Trade your kmac, anybody will give you any set of keycap you want.

I only owned a Filco now.
Meanwhile, Filco will be TM soon, because Inter-ASIA no more with Filco.

Look from bottom to top. We need more of lower end community (newbie) here before all moving to top.
Even you and me also start from low.

Once they have low end, they will move to middle end as they get priority on it.

If everyone target on high end from the start, the community not even can move upwards.
Many those rich young ppl lcly in the forum, all act like cb-kia here and there.

Appreciate you comments, I think if we can't do it, just leave it as now. Just normally come and chat here.

Any tips on how to do macro on HHKB?
