Haha. The one place I didn't check. I hate browsing Taobao from my phone. Next to impossible without the app.

haha usually i just use desktop if i shopped there. sometimes there are details that i might miss out if i used app

I see. so far i am not nitpicking. the stock sound and feelings are on point.
i just watch youtube; too much work for little gains. hahaha....but good headsup bro.

ok haha

the rama mod looks like it will affect the travel distance of the stabilizer...

it might, but it shouldn't be affecting travel distance significantly

for plate-mount stabilizers, i also add o-rings between the slider and housing, held by wire tips. now that one has some effects on travel distance.

Just saw this foam. Genius! 3.5mm according to the Taobao page. The 3 types of modules can cover everything except for stabilized keys.

Edit: Also says this on their Taobao page (from Google Translate). "This product has applied for a patent, please do not counterfeit, counterfeiting will be investigated!" Lol

Yeah, I was searching for original cherry plate mount stabs as well before I assembled my board. Only place in stock I saw was Zeal.

About RM120 for shipping!

Yeah, definitely am not ready to pay as much for shipping compared to the product which might not even end up making a huge difference. Rather experiment with quirky mods and save the money for the eventual next keyboard/build

haha for me i will just use eva foam tape 3mm + 0.5mm stacked together

.. wow that shipping fee is a lot.

yes, it's better to experiment and use mods. i have a lot of stabilizers. the last time i checked, bent wires are common. it's the mods that make them acceptable tbh

looks like taobao had some sort of sales going on... whacked a dunno what... royal kludge RK987 wireless bluetooth usb-C with their own browns (not cherry) for <RM100 cuz it looks nice lol.

Cant find reviews about it, so wonder if anyone knows how it is? especially the fake browns (i think it's kaihl) so i can adjust my expectations when it arrives

Anyone know where I can get the IKBC F87 Black version? Seems like only white version is available. Are there any alternatives to this keyboard at around similar price?

Got la

You can also try looking for Durgod Nebula K320.

If you don't need RGB but just backlit, the Durgod Corona K320 would be slightly cheaper.

the price for that f87 is high, maybe due to the reason that this model is end-of-life for a long time. maybe the better place to look for it is taobao.

personally i think the relatively better build is their c87, a damn old model. it's really like a tank, even with stock plastic case.

first time just finished lubing 100 switches. I have to say, i wasnt enjoying it, hella tedious job omg.

is there any keyboard (can bought easily here) where the arrow keys and numpad are on the left side?
example:

i posted here time to time with another account. Now change account because privacy invaded matter

anyway i just built this keyboard
'
gateron brown with springs changed to 55g, switch film added, springs lubed with 104, stabs band aid+clip, 4mm eva foam between pcb/backplate and everything else lubed with 205.

A lot of building processes which I thought was easy, turned up to be not. I made tons of mistakes and took very long time messing around with the keyboard . Every thing is quite fun for me except the lubing part.

The major mistakes i did were
- soldering quite a number of switches without the switches fully touching the PCB. Luckily i realized something was wrong before i proceeded to solder more switches. I learnt that it is very difficult to push the switches 'into' the pcb. My fingers are hurt now because of it.

-cutting the foam to put between plate and pcb. I ended up giving up and put nothing in between the plate and pcb. Have to be very precise in cutting the foam to leave enough space for each switch and stabilizers, but I failed miserably. All the shapes i drew by aligning the plate to the foam were all incorrect due to the stretchy nature of the eva foam and also not drawing exactly at the edges using pen. I wasted most of my time here. Here is the showcase of my masterpiece.

I feel that Gat browns lubed are indeed overly light for me as oppose to be using MX Blues which I think is heavy. Might have to change all the switches to heavier ones in the future

I had bought some 3mm LED bulbs, but havent soldered them yet. The led holes are at the lower part of the switches. I tested the leds through the holes with a lithium bat, but the effect is like very disappointing. All the letters/symbols are floating towards upper part of a key cap. I think last time someone asked the same question, but now how ah? I didn't know because I see the mx switches in razer mkb are all upside down one. XD

Also, the taihao keycaps im using dont have R0 1U Ctrl, FN, Alt and numpad 0 & R4 Delete, End and Page Down. I wasn't thinking so thoroughly before this. I think most of the keycaps set doesnt have these, am i right? I read some where people saying have to buy the ortholinear keycap set of a GB/preorder lol. Can any1 give me advice regarding this?

Nice! YMDK 96?

A pity about the foam though. Although it doesn't look too bad IMO, what did not fit?

Yes, Melody96 to be exact.

Too much misalignment. Given that I had to close the gap between the switches and the pcb, I was worried that some uneven cut/excess parts of the foam will hinder the placement of the switches because squeeze squeeze squeeze. Actually can just attach trimmed foams (eg 2mm wide, 10cm strip horizontally) onto the back side of the plate, do the same for the vertical lines and leave out the spots for stabs. However, I did not have thin double sided tape with me and I was very exhausted and mad cutting the failed foam. So out of a whim, Idc and decided to skip the plate/pcb foam.
