QUOTE(niakulah @ Apr 18 2020, 05:24 PM) OK so I should qualify that I will not be using backlit keycaps. I'll be relying on the light diffusion effect of the transparent housing to get an underglow between keycaps. Since the SMD LEDs will transmit its light 180 degrees, some of it will be blocked by the film. Question is, would it be enough to matter? Straight answer, nope they won't

QUOTE(horns @ Apr 18 2020, 10:35 PM) er what's your budget? which form factor are you looking for? the custom builds are not expensive, unless you use all those expensive parts. there is a temporary workaround to lube switches on soldered prebuilts, but only with partial outcomes of properly lubed switches. for switch lubing, i suggest to do it properly, with the right lube and techniques that you want. even with plates that claim support for switch top removal, its actually a pain to do so. might, that iqunix seems to be a custom kit, why not buy it and send to a builder like grexer to do it for you?

QUOTE(niakulah @ May 2 2020, 05:43 AM) Guys, would this neoprene sheet be suitable to be put between PCB and plate? https://s.lazada.com.my/s.b0KK4I measured the gap to be about 3.5mm, if the product is OK, should I go for 3mm or 4mm version? neoprene sheet between PCB and plate? Or do you mean between PCB and case?

QUOTE(niakulah @ May 2 2020, 05:08 PM) Between PCB and plate. A bit troublesome though. Need to cut holes for all the switches and stabilizers. that's something new.. is it supposed to make the place more solid?

QUOTE(horns @ May 22 2020, 06:01 PM) about switch films vs led lighting, it's explained before, https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=96402303yes. if you're still worried, wear rubber gloves also. the Verge needs to make a video on building custom mechanical keyboard...

QUOTE(irsyadfy @ Jun 2 2020, 11:29 PM) the poison is stronk ! my kibods all are cheaper than ur Durgod i think(depends on how good of a deal u get). I have the Filco MJ2 if u want to try and that is if u r in Klang Valley. but give me few days to put on keycaps and try it myself first. long time no use so not sure if the switch is still clicky and consistent or not. i do have a green switch too. its heavier than blue and can get quite tiring after awhile of typing and it is full sized. This i rarely rarelyyyy use, only the first month of getting it i think. so switch feels new. owh, Filco is TKL. just trying to help in this community. it is nice being nice to other ppl. if ppl dont repay me, someday somehow god will. can borrow the ikbc bluetooth to test how it works?
