What is normally recommended is silicone grease (not heatsink thermal paste) which is also used to lube flashlight o-rings. Lelong has one or 2 sellers, or find some dielectric grease which are pure silicone grease.
I just used vaseline which was more widely available which might corrode certain types of rubber but I'm not using o-rings.

There are many reviews for those 2 keyboards which have been around for years. The keyboard layouts are different and they use different stabilizers. Take your pick.

Yeah I agree that they are close enough to be comparable.

Why isn't Kuzumi Taiga's link for cheap Lingyi/Aula keyboards in your 1st post? And the the CM QFR-i should be removed from the recommended list due to the high rate of led failures, or at least a disclaimer about the issue.

The g710+ might have an issue with keycap stems breaking which I think is made worse by using o-rings especially thick ones since it shortens the portion of the stem that slots into the switch and that weakens the keycap.

Yes thats the advantage of standard layout. You could try landing pads (or something similar) which doesn't shorten the inserted length of the keycap/stem which makes the stem more prone to breaking.

To be fair, you are promoting your own storeuni.com business in your sig in the 1st post. And Kuzumi Taiga might not be making a profit (or very slim one) selling cheap RM150 keyboards so its more of a community service and not a business especially since he is offering personal limited warranty when other local sellers lazada do not.
I haven't bought anything from him or know him yet, I just found out about his cheap mkb deals. He's given out his real name/info(Cheah) so he isn't just some nick on lyn.

If you are not too particular about standard key layouts, many gaming brands have tkl keyboards with non-std layout. If you buy from China, theres reputable brands like keycool, noppo, plum. Chinese brands mostly use cherry clone switches. Theres alot of new Chinese kb recently with chinese clone switches gaining popularity and acceptance.

I'm interested in open/lidless designs like the corsairs because its easier to clean and any liquid spills will drain out easier if it happens.

The tkl/fullsize Lingyi's only have black/blue and I want cherry browns or clone browns.

I never had a problem with the seller links, and I would've preferred that section to be left alone since new/old buyers would find them useful. I find it odd that you prefer to remove a useful section instead of putting a link up.

I never had an issue with you advertising your business but if you say "A business is always a business" then its odd that you don't follow your own rule by advertising your business and forum.

Its not about me "forcing everyone to accept" something, you have a personal issue with Cheah since you don't actually say that he's doing something illegal but don't seem to like his "methods" whatever that may be, but don't say what they are.

edit-
quoted from post #996 link to show that there is some dispute going on.



I never had an issue with quovadis advertising his business but it looks like he's got an issue with another seller. He removed the whole seller section just to avoid putting Cheah's link up.
