Thanks for the info! I press my left shift on the centre of it when I type and I don't use the right shift. 2.25u without stabs is fine... right? haha

2.25U should be still OK, but, can't say the same for that 2.75U right shift

Anyone here bought wireless keyboard from oversea or amazon before?

Can help to share your experience?

Plan to get a Keychron K6 but worry that it will get held in custom or need sirim and all those hassle.

Thanks.

Thanks, mate. I'm waiting for my K6 from amazon now. Will have a look whether I like the size or not. Will get reference code from you if I'm going to get another.
Because I accidentally bought the plastic version from Amazon!!! bangwall.gif Wanted the Alu version.

Thanks again.

Any Logitech G613 owner here? I've notice my keyboard has been register some letters twice (particularly letter S and H) when typing. Is this a common issue with Logitech mechanical keyboards?

It's a "common" issue called chattering that happens when the contacts in the switches wear out (prematurely). I would recommend getting it sent in for RMA/warranty if it's still under warranty. If it's out of warranty, it could be repaired by replacing the switch.

Tried my hand at balancing stab wires from the stock plate mount stabs on the tecware phantom elite. Although it helped a bit but the longer keys (spacebar in particular) still sinks a little and makes a tapping sound when softly tapping on either side. I assume it's because I'm not balancing the wires properly but I wanted to know if it's worth it to swap out the stock stabs for something else. Seems pretty hard to find any plate mount stabs in the first place with the cherry ones being sold out almost everywhere leaving only OEM brands. If only the phantom elite pcb accepts screw-in or pcb mount stabs...

you should find some time to tune it so that it's much better than stock

you can try putting a small piece of fabric tape on the top part of both wire tips, then lube them with plastic-safe grease, like permatex, or superlube. i did the same to my space bar. there is no more tinkling sound even if i tapped very lightly on either side.

First time hearing this. Is it for when the key pops back up and potentially hitting the underside of the plate?

you can start with switch and stabilizer tuning. there are plenty of guides at youtube.

yes, try this one. so far i have done this for my gk64 and z70ultra. it's really effective.

later i will try to do the rama's shrink tube mod also, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3da8CMV2_M

it's a mod by our friend at mymkb. no this is to minimize the tinkling sound when wire tips hit the upper part of the stem hole when you tap on the edges of space bar. this sound is not obvious for shorter modifier keys, but they are there too, if the wire tips are not tuned properly.

another similar mod is is from rama (video above).

By the way, do you just cut a small square of tape that sits at the tip of the wire or a little longer so that it folds down onto the sides?

it's more like a rectangular shape that sticks on the top part of wire tips.

sound and feel mainly. well, if you liked stock sound and feel, then do nothing

Interesting...thanks!

There's a link on the YouTube vid btw.
https://rama.works/guides#/silencing-stabilisers/

The mymkb mod deals with the tips only, but the rama mod is after the tips but before the bend, correct?

Pretty soon there won't be a single surface that doesn't have a mod. Lol.

P.s. my switch stickers finally arrived. And my V2 C3 stabs GB. smile.gif

Just received my Keychron K6 (1 hour ago...) No problem from the custom. Lucky me.

Setting up and charging now.
It is a very sturdy built and I think I may drop the idea of getting the aluminium version.

Damn... this thing is so tiny. First time move to non-standard size keyboard.
