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.

I want to know if this keyboard can change MX switch? If yes , where to buy MX switch? need to change certain key to red switch cuz i play o2jam alot
Don't get me wrong , I love blue switch
*
I play O2Jam a lot too but you don't want to do that as that will completely mess up your typing experience.

how can i know what switches i want if i have only tried mx blue? ahha
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?
*
costar gives nice typing feel, but changing keycaps is damn pain in the arse.
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.

What's your budget?

Rantopad MXX can get TKL Gateron Blues with backlighting below RM250 I think. Not sure about quality of keycaps though.

You can get a better outcome if you actually spend time using the configuration tool.

It's not that bad la...

It's like digging your nose, once you find the right technique, you can just stick to it for the rest of your life

I will always take costar over cherry stabs if given the choice. Modded (clipped) cherry stabs feel fragile, I dunno.

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.

when your change enough keycaps, and having the little inserts starting a treasure hunt game for you, you will finally know the pain lol!
sometimes the inserts are too loose to stay in the keycaps, one of the way is to put little bits of tissue in it. it all adds up.
if you don't change keycaps often, then costar is best for you.

what you mean by clip mod cherry stabs feels fragile? hmm.gif

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.

deswai everybody needs to buy & keep a few pairs of plastic inserts. They are dirt cheap anyways.

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.
