Care to tell more about the 500 one? I was thinking of building it from scratch. Also is iron solder like Pro'skit good enough?

200+300=500

There are no easily available full size custom kits. You can try to hunt for a TX108SE or Hex6C in the aftermarket.

Oh confuse sikit lmao. Oh so just need to buy tecware as the base.

Man really hard eh finding full size. I can't live without numpad... maybe need to buy those numpad only and get other sizes base.

anyone know where the best place to get ducky one 2 with cherry reds? seems everywhere sold out. is there any alternatives to that also?

thanks

seems like Dotatech has a magnetic cover for the Tecware Phantom to hide the switches -

if you are only looking for mkb with the numpad area can try to search for 96/98 key layout like the Leopold FC980M. There are also a lot of custom kit from Taobao like this one that cat_food_lover just bought

Found a few mkb on PCByte Shoppee (if you are open for other brands) -

Working on site in the office today. My setup.


Took me a few days to get used to the split. Now I'm getting 80+ on monkeytype which is normal for me.

another up-coming hi-pro set from melgeek, called mg salmon. https://www.melgeek.com/collections/group-b...set-melgeek-com

i guess not many know this: their mda profile caps have a good characteristic: the modifier and space bar key caps are able to grab stabilizer stems securely. this helps reduce some stabilizer issues, like see-saw effects, and provides good up-down key movements.

here's a quick note on the current trends of custom springs.

to get everyone on the same page, my references on force curves are based on the one at sprit designs, https://www.spritdesigns.com/mx. currently, we have 5 main types of custom springs: linear rated, progressive, complex, long/slow curved, and multistage (M0/1/2; there are differences between these variants, check the graphs to find out).

as of this writing, multistage and progressive springs are the focus of the expansion of choices in custom springs. manufacturers also started to use springs other than the usual linear rated ones. currently, there are 2-stage (gateron silver pro; giant v4), and 3-stage (jwick queen). in general, besides typical characteristics of long/slow curved springs, multistage springs have another characteristic: there are at least 2 force curves during key travel. from the graphs, the force curve changes near actuation point.

in terms of progressive springs, one unique custom spring is the combination of long and progressive, made by lumia, https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=648273243443 . this one is unique because it's long, and it's progressive; also, more coils are present at both ends, not at the usual one side.

CX60 (CX60-VIA) unofficial QMK source code; code cleanup by myself. tested the code for a while; so far so good.

Hi all;

Recently during housekeeping found these 2 keyboards.

One is printed as JIOR T1000, another is 6511-TW as shown below.
Is both of these considered as Mech Keyboard?






The original coiled wiring still there albeit separated from the keyboard for JIORT1000. Is it still salvageable?

Mechanical keyboard from china finally arrived. Took about 12 days from seller to house, via freight shipping
Supports 2.4Ghz, BT5.0 and type-c connection
Stabs and switches are lubed. TTC golden pink linear switch
Silencing foam under PCB (need to double check)
Total damage RM363.06

some simple googling leads me to this.

JIOR T1000
6511-TW

nice

😁 thanks

The JIOR T1000 looks like using ALPS switches (but can't confirm since the photo isn't clear enough), while the 6511-TW looks like a membrane keyboard.

This is likely what your T1000 is Rin-Teck RT-1000

What is the best wireless keyboard on the market? I've seen Anne Pro 2 or Keychron. Any other that I can buy from a local seller?

i have successfully ported CX60 to support Vial, https://get.vial.today/



the main problem for now is that i can only compile Vial-enabled firmware in Linux; still no luck with msys2.
