Well designed, and quite cheap for what you get!

I wish I could replicate that USB port accent on my own case.

yes, it's a good deal. hafiz put a lot of efforts into this, with all those features and extendabilities.

finally, a custom kit that is both accessible and affordable haha

Is there any affordable mech 104 keys ? below 150

*left mech keyboard scene too long * been using my Rosewill 104 blue cherry for 10 years. Need a cheap spare to plug into other pc for debugging.

Latest facelift on my daily driver. KAT Alpha V1.1 with KAT Eternal spacebar and arrow keys.

This hobby is killing me. Q2 just started and I'm already in 5 diff GB. rip wallet

haha it's fine as long as you get what you want

Guys.. can someone recommend cheap Pbt pudding keycaps 64 keys?

Seems quite hard to find this in Shopee.. much appreciated if can share the link..

If ABS should also be fine... Basically I want to have bling2

Will be using it to replace the STD keycaps on SK64S

same, joined the GMK nightshade GB, KBD67 Lite GB, a couple of deskmats GB here and there & bought the EPBT Kon Momo keycaps from someone on FB MM yesterday I swear to myself that's the last thing I'll buy......until the bauer lite gets announced

I was lucky enough to score a Sat75. And told myself that's the last keyboard I'll buy, turns out kbd67 lite tempted me to join another kb gb

you should ask this at mymkb fb page, https://www.facebook.com/groups/MalaysiaMechanicalKeyboard

for Asian users, the usual places to look for similar sets are taobao, aliexpress, shopee, and lazada imo

Ive ended up ordering the Tecware Black Pudding keycaps ystd.. ard RM65 with shipping..

I know that it will not be 100% fit but there is a replacement e.g using the 0 Numpad keycap instead of the left shift key


(example below is HyperX 108 keycaps pudding)

ok haha

for key cap sets that don't have matching caps, i do the same also (for instance, recent double-shot pbt from capturers; they are fine for 65% and above)

recently, there are sad news about switches made by jwk. it affected certain switches released since feb 2021, related to either their sliders, or very tight top housings. (so far, reported switches are kiwi, tangerine, everglide's aqua king v3) the reported issues are key chattering, sluggish key travels, and sliders got stuck during debounce. rumors said announcements will be made for further actions, after the investigation by jwk.

as of now, to use them normally, possible 'fix' suggested by users are:
1. replacing the sliders;
2. relubing.

i have aqua king v3 37g and 62g. luckily mine are not having serious stuff like key chattering, or sliders got stuck, but few of them are experiencing relatively sluggish key travels. i will relube some of them and see if they can make it for a reference build hehe

worst comes to worst, i just use them as base for custom switches

edit: personally, i like aqua king v3. however, it might not be for you. a very tight tolerance in switches to minimize stem wobbles will have potential issues like sluggish key travels, due to increased frictions. just find the balance, and make adjustments accordingly.

someday somehow im gonna molest youyour boards.

haha yes maybe find one day, we join some friends, and syok sendiri together lol

i bought some tangerines from taobao 2 weeks ago and after seeing this news over the weekend I msg-ed the seller. They already took down tangerines from their store (instructions from factory according to them) and claimed that my order not affected since it's last year's batch. Not sure how honest they're being but I did realize one switch leaf very 'rough' and 'pingy', like when I press down I can see the stem legs making contact with the leaf and making like a 'click' noise, the movement is not smooth and feels & sounds like there's a tactile bump. Not too sure if it has anything to do with that issue but after lubing it issue is solved.
Because this is my first time trying tangies Idk how smooth they are supposed to feel or perform so i don't know whether the rest of my tangies consider okay or not

er if they have old stocks, why did they need to take it down?

about smoothness, imo, stock tangerine is similar to stock jwk recolored. the difference is not obvious. the main difference is its sound profile, compared to nylon and pc housings. to me, it's more 'crispy' (that's the only word about the sound that i can come up with. please compare it to nylon and pc housings hehe)

if it's only one switch, and lubing can fix it, it's not a problem. to me, the problems are key chattering (sliders getting stuck during debounce might still be able to get fixed, by lubing, swapping springs or sliders)

don't la it's one of my collections that i wanna keep for a long long time

Yeah I find the tangerines to be a bit high pitch compared to pc housings, but I really like the springs. Man lubing and filming them they honestly feels like butter!

haha it's fine, I'm just trying my luck to see if anyone wants to sell the Icon set & Anti color addons set or not hehe

right, higher pitched. lubing makes the switch smoother, and have clean key sound, especially coupled with foamed aluminum plate.

i hope that there will be extras for epbt ramenstop set. i missed the gb, https://kbdfans.com/products/ic-epbt-ramenstop
