not really. there are plenty of good places to get parts for mkbs.

which parts are you looking for? afaik many shops are from those places.

the kbd-5 degree is here, with kailh box red. as i suspected, the lelf shift doesn't have stabilizers (but it works fine without them; no wobbles, no rattles)



this is a prebuilt version from kbdfans. i will use it for a bit before a total disassembly is done. the overall build quality is decent for a CIY board.  i'm surprised that the stabs are actually solid. they are different from stock/prebuilt gk64 (Chinese-made cherry-style pcb-mount stabs; gold-plated wires; screw-in type)

i think these are the same screw-in pcb-mount stabs in the kbdfans-5-degree build. no they have no/very minimal rattles only. the rattling ones are plate-mount stabs from stock/prebuilt gk64.

for builds that require pcb-mount stabs, i will choose screw-in instead of slot-in, because the additional screw will secure the stabs on pcb much better. alternatively for screw-in stabs, you can also get gmk's, https://www.zfrontier.com/m/3129

i have pcb-mount stabs in the second link also (transparent type), but i never used them, so no experience with them yet. (it was a wrong purchase)
