YE BOIIII V29!

hmm, never bring in from taobao before, my bulk supply for mechanical keyboards is based on looking for supplier on AliBaba CN.

just go talk to any agent and they should be able to help you, but I know for a fact you should be worried about taxation, it's not a rare incident to get taxed from buying from Taobao.

DEFINITELY do not use Taobao direct shipping (especially if you're not able to read Chinese, A LOT of steps) way higher risk of taxation and longer waiting period, just pay the mark up fee by agent if the item isn't so expensive. Direct shipping is good for buying large quantities of cheap non electronic stuff that you're not rushing for.

Any idea what's the local pricing here?

I calculated inclusive of agent fees, it should still come below RM690 before tax (brown switch).

then seems like a no brainer to go through Direct, but better get advice from the Taobao direct thread in Serious Kopitiam for advice.

hard to say... CM is 3 years btw (at one time it was 4 by Jayacom).

recently kena fk by China customs, brought in fifteen keyboards one batch, coincidentally that batch of flight kena lockdown because got drug trafficking. delayed by a week

Any item valued over RM500 is subject to GST, import tax, etc. SIRIM too. Yes, definitely less likely than buying from the US, but Chinese imports are taxable as w
WRONGGGGG, got import tax! ell. This is where the agents come in, they lower the risk by a lot.

Skynet is good for cheaper uses, but for mine since it is a business involving mechanicals, I use a more expensive courier service, but if you're just buying one for yourself, just use skynet. ABX is fine too.

Courier to avoid: Kangaroo

P/S: They won't give extra care to mkb, etc, the only ones whom you should rely to give extra care would be the seller themselves, couriers no give fuk.

prepare at least 20% of the total cost price. I wish I was kidding.

not sure, because tenso is a foreign agent, not local, so i think they have less control when it comes to taxing.

Hey guys, I want to try my hand at soldering (have a faulty Ducky keyboard with me a customer traded in for a LingYi keyboard + top up cash so I figured this would be a good learning experience)

It is using Cherry MX blues, I think I won't be able to swap the faulty keys with the less used keys since got at least 4 switches that are damn near unusable, so I'll need to find spare switches already.

Can anyone advice/or if anyone here is selling a few unused switches? Kaihl works too, as long as it is Cherry compatible.

Also this one is an LED keyboard, should I consider getting replacement LEDs or re-use them? Thanks!

mine is not a shine 2, but I doubt i'd need to desolder the whole board.

even if it does happen, be it before or after warranty period, it's an easy repair job. if there isn't any one to one exchange I'd just save the troubles and fix it myself.

if you can live with it for another month, come look for me in cheras selatan after 20th May, I'll be able to repair for you if you come over to my place. Try determining if it is switch dying or not, if yes then might want to start sourcing for a few and standby before bringing to me.

Hmm, hope it's alright to promote here, spreading awareness? haha

grateful for LYN's support for my LingYi keyboards,

i'm currently selling a new addition, haven't had the time to promote properly yet.

It's a true RGB keyboard,

so if you don't have the money to spend on a Razer BlackWidow or Corsair's RGB series which are easily 500~700 ringgit, you should consider getting this.

Price is RM290 (inclusive of Poslaju, one set of keycaps, mousepad) (black keycap blue switch currently out of stock in factory, as of 27 April can order white keycap blue switch as shown in video #2 and black keycap black switch)

Video 1, black keycap blue switch


Video 2, white keycap blue switch (compared against Corsair Strafe RGB in terms of lighting)

plz don't bash me here, I think you guys especially the experts would sanction and allow this.

For those who haven't noticed, I'm selling keyboards with Gateron RGB switches now, [davey.havok] (wait, you're Bunny on fb right) says I should be hyping this out since it's probably the only keyboard in existence with Gateron RGB switches. So..

And here's the kicker, it's less than 300 bucks (well, 290, but still less)

comes with free 104 keycaps, and warranty for as long as I sell mech. keyboards.

forgive the ugly watermark, kinda hate it when people steal photos/videos without my permission, especially them tards in the past trying to pass my LingYi keyboards as RGB keyboards

edit: (disclaimer on the comparison with K95) I think it also looks dimmer because of camera focusing on the AULA, but it really IS brighter than the K95.

LEDs used can fit? oh no.... let's hope this is as far as AULA's keyboard can be similar to Razer.

Letme know if you encounter any issues also. Have you downloaded the app?

feeling kinda funny to be selling a pbt keycapped 60% rgb wireless Bluetooth gateron switched mech keyboard at rm350, never thought it'd be possible btw your future front print pbt keycap plans, totally black?

I want to but no time.. and I am not a very skilled modder, due to some things I have caused.

after reading his post of gateron modding taking >10 hours. No thanks might as well get a board that already has Gaterons on it. *hint hint*



sorry bunneh for posting this here

As far as blues are concerned:

Gateron > Pre-2015 Cherry MX > Cherry MX (2016) = Kailh
