Sweet! Now I'm rocking my SA caps again after seeing your post. Then I found out my space bar kept on popping out from 1 side. sigh...

*okay, I added a small piece of square plastic on top of the stabs stem. Now it's staying in place and not popping out.

If you are looking to try clicky switches, then I think you should try the Box Navy. I don't have experience with that but it's really hot right now. It's also very heavy and the click bar sound is bitch loud. LOL.

Sad la... no love for 2u shift. T_T

Last night had a real scare when doing my switch lube and exchange. I actually snapped one of the hot swap sockets when I was pushing in the switch. Luckily, the important part of the socket is still intact. The connector pins and sockets all still functioning. Just black plastic housing broke.

Moral of the story, when you are sleepy AF, do not continue with your keyboard chores. hahaha... XD

The GK64 pcb does have the 2 mounting holes for PCB mounted switches. However, if you look closely, 1 of the hole is partly covered by the hot-swap sockets. Now, if you push it hard enough, the switch (5 legs PCB mounted version) will snap in place. That is after one of the leg pushes out the hot swap socket. T_T

Can't really 100% tell if those are genuine or knock offs but judging by his seller feedback, he should be okay. Anyway, how are you going to change the stabs since it's already assembled? I assume you will be re-soldering the whole board if you need to change the stabs. Unless I am mistaken.

So, if you are getting the screw in stabs, then you can just buy from kbdfans as well. GMK screw-in stabilizers They are the real deal and I am using them right now. Rattle be gone... hehehe...

You can try Ace Hardware for Super Lube 21030. It's the grease type. This will be suitable for stabs. You can also use this for your switches but most veterans will advice against this. For proper switch lubrication, you can try Taobao. You can use a forwarder for Krytox GPL105. It's not cheap though. Good luck!

Anyone have any idea where can I get nylon M2 washer? Both black or white/transparent colour. Did a few round of searching online and most sellers also from foreign countries.

A single 50g bottle is more than enough for a 60 board. I tried both Krytox and also Super Lube on my linear switches, in truth, it's not that much different from both of them. However, I can definitely say it's much easier applying Krytox compared to the grease type Super Lube. Anyway, I only tried on linear switches and nothing else.

Are you looking for full size, TKL or 60%? You have any budget? If you have budget, then the list can narrow down by ALOT.

My OCD is telling me I need to ditch them.

All Kailh box switches have this issues? They do not line up straight.

Number row = Kailh box brown
Alphas row = Aliaz silent

I already had the caps on. The whole numbers row are with the box switches and the rest in Aliaz. You can already see that the number caps ar elining up straight. Each caps on the numbers row have a slight "rotated/bent" to it. The bottom right corner will not match the bottom left of the cap on it's right. If you know what I mean. And it's very consistent throughout. So, it's definitely design issue.

Hey, it's a lot cleaner than my GK64. The soldering work is a lot cleaner on the new board!

The one I have:

I assume mine is 1 version and 1 month earlier.

That space bar is big enough for you to use as a makeshift boat during flood.

I think you can just get them from site like kbdfans. They offer fully assembled service and you can choose the switches to go with it.

Yes... it's a trap. Mecha keyboard is a trap from the very beginning. I was naive. I was just a small boy back then. I should had listened to the words of the elders. Never venture into the forbidden realms... but the lure is too much. Once I feast my eyes on them, I know it's too late. Now just have to deal with it. Instant noodles is my staple food now. hahaha... okay laaa... not so dramatic la. However, once you get yourself a hot-swap board, then it's even worst. You wanna try so so so many different switches. T_T

Between the two, I would take Tecware just because of the board design and the keycaps legend alone.

You can do a simple search in Google and you'll most probably get answer similar as this:

Generally because for the amount of money you are paying, you are getting a very decent board in return.
