I'm not sure which is why I'd like to try it, since Novatouch and Topre are both expensive which is why I want to buy the cheap one to see if it fits me.

Yup, you just need some soldering tool and it will do
I'm not sure though, I'm going to Topre from Red too

go to Viva City Megamall at Tabuan..there got one shop that u can try many brand or switches of mech kb..sorry i cant remember the name or what floor is the shop located..ahaha

wow another giveaway.
thank you sifusss

My old Ducky 9008s some keys had delay registering, so I desolder the affected switches and swapped with lesser used keys and they seem to be working . Pretty easy fix each switch has 4 points of solder 2 for the switch 2 for the LED. The LED solder was quite small & took some time to remove but with some patience can be done. Next time can try fixing my SS 7G which some keys double/triple register, should be easier since no LED to remove but don't know how the insides look yet.

phew

woah, where did you get it from?
amazon?

Now you can start collecting topre artisans!!!

Invest in a good solder sucker will help speed up the desolder. If the solder are small to be "melt", just add more lead into it and it will help melt the smaller solder (just make sure other solder point not shorted.

Hi guys. I don't know if you all remember me but I asked here a few months ago about which switch to get.
So I went and bought a second hand keycool 87 with red switches.



As you can see, or not, because camera quality is potato, the keycaps are a bit dirty probably due to the white colour.
So I took upon myself to clean it!
You can already see the denture tablets on the upper left corner of the picture.

Keycaps removed. Don't know if you can actually see but a lot of dust and hair in there.


Used a usb fan for drying the keycaps overnight.


The end product! A huge difference.


Big thanks to ripster555 from reddit for his cleaning guide.

Notes:
1. Costar stabilisers really are frustrating to work with but with patience it can be done.
2. You need a little bit of force when pushing the keycaps out and into the stabilisers (on youtube and internet they all didn't mention this!)
3. Got a mini heart attack when keyboard was not detected by the computer when I plugged into it the first time. After a couple tries, it starts to work.
4. My backspace keycap does not have the black things under it (the ones that connect to the wire stabilisers). Any idea where to get some?
5. Overall satisfied with my purchase and choice of cherry mx red switches. Now to learn touch typing and fully use this keyboard.

PS: Already been dreaming about getting a second keyboard
