Can someone guide me how to buy Magicforce gateron switches on taobao? Currently I only found cherry switches and some alien switches which are in Chinese language. What's the Chinese words for gateron anyway? I've search online but can't find it... Currently planning to buy as silent and comfortable mini keyboard for travel.

Some Chinese keyboard on taobao I think, I had Ling Yi blackwidow blue switches TKL, not bad, feel much more comfortable than Razer green switches.

No, it was oetemu switches, really not bad, almost as loud as Razer green switches if not maybe louder in terms of clicky sound

ok tks

too extreme for me to get into soldering, tried it once without practice on my ducky shine 3, end up with spoiled LED on PCB.

wow replace whole mechanical keyboard after one switch has failed, really 'rich' way to solve problem.
Have you ever cleaned your mkb? if not maybe got some real nasty stuff stuck inside the switch, maybe you can try dilute some alcohol with water with certain ratio and drop a few drip via cotton bud onto the switch, i believe there's a video on Youtube showing how to do it. If not just hire someone to replace your switch.

So guys, I've bought a new Ducky One full size non back-lit orange font and the volume up and down keys are inverted, which means that when i press volume up, it will decrease the volume. When i press volume down, it will increase the volume. Is this a manufacture defect? I've installed all updates on Windows 10 Pro original. Also, the keyboard doesn't seem to startup when i connected the USB to my laptop on startup, i had to reconnect the USB cable for the keyboard to work.

I've had a really bad experience with Ducky product before as my previous Ducky Shine 3's multiple LED died in less than a week, wasted like RM450. Can't even RMA it, says the seller need to export to Taiwan but they'll just fix the LED and not exchange new one for me, so the seller repaired it himself but the brightness of the replaced LED are not even the same.

Same with me also, I've never tried mx blue before until i visited a shop which let me test typing on new ducky one mx blue switches, i was using Outemu blue which is less stiffer than mx blue, ended up switching to mx red since it sounded good and feel much smoother. I expect cherry mx to beat the satisfaction level compared with outemu or even kailh blue, the springs r way too stiff!

How come I don't feel comfortable using a palm rest on my full sized keyboard? My typing accuracy for bottom row also decreased. Is it because that the palm rest is too thick? My palm rest type is leatherette bought from taobao . I've even read about how palm rest will actually induce carpal tunnel syndrome...

Attached thumbnail(s)

is it possible to replace the LED only on that keyboard if the LEDs fails? I'm planning to buy it to replace my Ducky One Red switches will that be a good idea?

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.

Anyone know where to buy the thickest O ring for MKB cheapest online? I've bought the transparent O ring from Aliexpress before and i feel that it doesn't do much dampening due to its thin and soft silicone. My current keyboard is MX red and the spacebar is the loudest of all and I had to put 2 transparent O ring to dampen the sound...

Will it be a good idea to spray some silicone spray to its cherry stabilizer and Cherry MX Red switches? My Ducky One keyboard is just around 2 months old, what I'm trying to achieve is smoother typing experience and to reduce the switches' sound, I did install some ordinarily transparent O rings to dampen the sound. My keyboard uses Taihao double-shot key caps instead of the stock key caps. One of the problem I have is the spacebar of the Taihao is too damn loud on the my Ducky One MKB even with double O rings, which is why i still using stock space bar key caps.

I've search online about silicone spray and there are myths about how it'll eats off rubber and plastic. However, I've seen this silicone spray sold at local store and online. It's made in Malaysia. Specially developed to lubricate, clean and protect most automotive parts, window gliding groove, fan belt, door joints, battery terminals and many more. This new formulation is safe and gentle to all rubber and vinyl surfaces.

The ingredient it contains is petroleum distillates(that's all it says). Some people are mystified by the name itself “petroleum distillates”, but that is exactly what they are — products made from crude oil that have been distilled in a refinery and then usually processed further and purified in some manner.

Some guy also says that they used silicone spray which contains also petroleum distillates and their rubix cube is fine.

If it's not a good idea to use it, can someone suggest me where and which lubricants can i buy online? Sorry for wall of text...

TLDR: Silicone spray can use? If not please suggest one lubricants that I can buy through online thanks.

I thought i waa the only one, few months back i went to a shop to buy ducky one cherry mx blue, i changed my mind when it was far way stiffer than the clicky switches that i had which are kailh blue, razer green and outemu blue. So i bought the red switches instead.

Has anyone found royal kludge rc930 topre clone 2nd generation with 108 keys instead of 104 yet on Taobao? Please share link with me if you found it or have any resource about saying when it will be sold on taobao. So far i only seen the one Massdrop sells...

I don't think there'll be much difference for the name, I've searched for RK RC930-108 but found nothing. It could be that RK has made exclusive deal with Massdrop to release their 2nd generation RC930-108 on Massdrop first.

Not much unless you're the unlucky one. If your keyboard is fine within first 14 days, then it'll be fine I guess... Since most manufacture defect item will be obvious for the first week for me. Bought a non-sealed Ducky Shine 3 from a forum member before this, like around 5-7 LEDs dead in less than 7 days.

Since I'm planning to get one for myself, care to share from whom did you bought it? Maybe it's manufacture defect. If it's me I would try to plug it in other laptop to see if it's really the keyboard's fault.
