dadude is going to disagree, but IMO you should try as much mass-market junk first before building a custom. I'm glad I did.

QUOTE(irsyadfy @ Mar 8 2016, 05:59 PM) how can i know what switches i want if i have only tried mx blue? ahha costar gives nice typing feel, but changing keycaps is damn pain in the arse.im curious to feel the diff between cherry stabiliser(my ducky zero) and costar stabiliser, most ppl will opt for costar am i right? but is it really that hard to change caps on costar stabiliser? Custom switches as in changing the spring etc? this is another thing im curious of how hard to do it? cherry stab got mushy typing feel, but can be fixed by doing clipping mod and changing keycaps is as easy as changing other keycaps. changing switch is not difficult. just that you have to desolder the old switch from your keyboard, change the spring or lube it or sticker, then solder it back. |

Okay, but if I do go with either gateron Blues or Outemu Blues. What are the examples of keyboards with these switches ?

Not sure about quality of keycaps though. |

CNC case for Novatouch - something I've been saving up for.
The maker is also testing it to see if it can fit the QFR-i. |

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Ok so which one of you wrote this? Found this while browsing fb lol. By the way, any of you experienced things like, you wear your earphones, heard your switches differently and felt like, "ah, this is the sound that I want." I wish my Greens are as quiet as linears or tactiles. Maybe I should invest on Clears next lol. |

QUOTE(justnits @ Mar 8 2016, 08:31 PM) The stabilizer stem has 4 small feet that helps to dissipate the force whenever the Backspace or Enter key (for example) gets bottomed out.Clipping = removing two feet per stem = lesser surface area to dissipate force = higher stress on the remaining feet. But that's not the worst part. I managed to yank out the a stab stem once while changing keycaps. IIRC it was the left stab stem of my RShift key. This wouldn't have happened if the stem had all its feet intact. The right stab stem managed to stay in place though. |
