Ah. Well that's sad. I was looking for a costar keyboard.

Hi guys. I'm looking to clean my keycaps. I've got a white keyboard 2nd hand so the keycaps are a bit dirty. Any tips on doing this? I found this guide online.

I assume I get that from pharmacies? Any recommended brands?

give review on the feelios of the zeelios?

Really interesting, wonder if there is any downside. Hope to get Zealios + this board one day

New cherry switches exclusive to corsair (for now).

Marketed towards gamers of course. I wonder if any keyboard enthusiasts would be interested in this?

I think it is mentioned that it is linear. Kinda like reds but with lower actuation points.

I know keycool uses it. At least mine is. Cooler master rapidfire uses it but not the rapidfire-i. Best to check the specific model as some companies use both cherry and costar.

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

The previous owner lost some of the keycaps that's why its a bit rojak. Need to save some money first, planning to get a whole new set.

Looks awesome. One question though, why does the modifier usually have different colour to the rest? Is there any reason other than aesthetics?

Posted about this keyboard a while back. It has started its own kickstarter now. The analog "mechanical" keyboard, wooting one. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wootin...precise-movemen

Kinda feel its going to be similar to logitech romer g switches. Also manufactured by omron.

to be fair, that taobao page put a lot of keyboards pics on it.

Personally interested to try those out. Haven't seen one out on display though.

Hi guys. So I followed the advice that you guys gave to me and currently own a red and blue switch keyboards. Out of the two, I am preferring the red switch. Although it seems I make a lot more misspellings, I feel more comfortable with the reds.

My new questions is, should I be looking for other switches to try out? Or am I red switch type of guy?

I always thought that brown was kinda in between red and blue, so the only reason to get brown is because of the noise (or lack of). I'm guessing this is a wrong presumption?

I could have never just determine if I like something by just reading or trying out the switches for a few secs in a shop.

Hmm, I guess I should try out browns next. Gateron red is similar to cherry reds? Topre is sadly too far out of my reach currently. Mx clears are quite rare no?
