yes it's epbt. afaik they have included 1u- and 2u-shift keys in their newer releases.

haha yes we really need to dig around to find out about them. imo some manufacturers already have tools for these two keys. so it's ok imo, because as long as they still make caps as their business, there will be new options in future.

Thank you, bought ikbc c87 white blue switch at last.

I like Blue switch more after testing a key at demo.

For brown(outemu) the feeling is a bit weird, feel like the key stick to my hands.
Nt sure about cherry mx brown as i tested it with keyboard plastic cover ( shpp dun let me try without plastic as that keyboard is going to sell, nt demo)

how much u bought? last year boughtr from ultimatezone rm229 only

Around dat price with shipping from taobao..

Nowadays ultimatezone no sell le

enjoy your new kibod and njoy ur mkb journey !

tbh the mkb journey can be a very rewarding one, but it really depends on individual expectations. still, the more you know about basics the better.

in short i did these:
1. started from knowing common cherry mx switches (red, brown, blue);
2. chose red because that's what i like most;
3. tested different oem boards with red, found out all boards are not built equally, even with the same switch type; however decent oem boards will stand out from most choices;
4. got modular 60%, gk64 and started experimenting different parts: cases, plates, pcb, stabilizers, key caps, switches; used cherry mx red/silent red as reference to get rid of noises (pings, stabilizer rattles, etc.) and other stuff that i like and don't like;
5. got different lubes; started experimenting and identifying their differences;
6. experimenting with basic mods;
7. found out combinations that i prefer;
8. started to migrate from modular (gk64) to permanent builds (dz60) with those combos.

a note: nowadays, you can use modular boards as test boards. just bear in mind that they are not awesome at their stock states compared to decent oem boards; but they will become awesome after you applied relevant mods to them.

+1

How good is red/silent red?

each have their own feels. compared to stock, lubed red/silent red are relatively better; sound dampened (especially from springs), and relatively smoother.

also, i found those with standard bottom black housings are better than those with clear housings (for rgb).

opposite of rewarding.
It drains money like mad

Why are some keyboard costs up to RM1k++ ?
Like, its just a keyboard lol.. I understand the aesthetic and design ( Like the varmilo I really like when I saw it from taobao) , but some are really overpriced leh, I'm newbie to this, correct me pls all senpai~~

it's a hobby. just learn and do it at your own pace. you will at least gain better ideas about good and bad boards.

there is no need to over do it also. practically speaking, building a decent 60% custom with good typing feels is actually not expensive. it's when you must buy all those rare and limited parts, such as key cap sets or cases, that make the total costs bloated.

like any hobbies, there are rare/limited/exclusive items for those who like to use or collect them. that's all.

again, mkb modding is a hobby. we explore options that suit us the most. if you treated it as a keyboard, then there is nothing for you except for, like our friend puts it, draining money. in that case, don't bother finding out anything. just go to a shop, get any board and be done with it, because it's really just a keyboard hehe

no problem. it just depends on which route, and how far you wanna go. i prefer good typing experience only.

if you're really interested, you can still get it from tmall or taobao or aliexpress.

alternatively just get a base model of va87m from varmilo's tmall.

you also can view/buy from singapore shop Xtreme Solutions. they have a lot of ducky board.

Where do you bought your ikbc c87 from?

I am currently looking for a TKL keyboard for work can can be easily carry around in my laptop bag.
