Any nice TKL kit / groupbuy available?
Waiting for kbd8x to restock

Also anyone bought from singakbd before? Haha their keyboards look sweet.

But also almost always out of stock. LoL
Rama is another good one. I think their Rama M60-a2 is still available.

Thanks horns and niakulah for the recommendations. Man, mech keys are an addiction. I still can’t believe how expensive zeal switches are. If I accidentally bend one of the pins I’ll just cry.

You mean the U80-A? Preorder sold out already. Not that I'm willing to drop USD420 for one...

No bro, it’s the M60-a. It’s the 60% version

Ops, just realized the inquiry was for a tkl board. My bad.

Another rusty theme for you. GMK Copper. Only 7 days left to order.

that's a really nice looking kit. agreed, more 6X% and 7X% boards are definitely a good thing.

So I done dumb dumb and bought the Hakko Presto and soldering tips, only to find that these tips do not fit this soldering iron.

I wanted to use a K type tip that is long enough to touch both switch pins at the same time so that you can easily remove them when desoldering. Turns out, there are NO K type tips for the Hakko Presto.  doh.gif

So what do you guys think?
1. Get the chisel tip for the Hakko Presto. Still way better than my current cheapo soldering iron. Both iron and tip will be Hakko! Spend another RM28. Give up on using a K type tip.
2. Get  this cheapo soldering iron that accepts 936 style K type tips that I already have. Also just another RM28.
3. Get a cheapish soldering station that accepts 936 style K type tips that I already have. Spend another RM85.
4. Don't cheap out and get the real deal. Spend another RM585
