I just noticed that those 2 are the same keyboard hahaha

Nice keyboard, any aerial pictures? hehe

Thanks this helps.
(Might get you to solder and lube for me in the future)

Anyone local msia got do customized keycaps as per request what i kind i want?

Like this cool resin one... uhhh my eyes

Are ducky brand good? planning to get one.. or any other recommendation for TKL mechanical?

are artisans worth getting? can they be resold later for the same price as the raffle price?

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?

Cherry plate mount stabs just arrived.

Less than 3 weeks to get to me from US. Not bad.

How are you liking this board so far? Which set did you buy btw?

If my grail fullsize board doesn't materialize in a group buy in the next few months, I might consider the Melody 96.

Given that I was using Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013 with MX blues, of course it is better, but dont take my word for it as I dont have other boards to compare with. I want to change the switches and add foam in between plate and pcb. Also relubing springs because bag lubing is inconsistent, some keys got the pik pik sound.     I bought brass plate + weight, went full ham.

What is your grail full size board?

guys anyone here is using Steelseries APEX pro? worth buying for a keyboard lover?

The price tag is the craziest so far

mkb users that have sufficient know-how will not go for commercial boards anymore. it's really easier for them to get parts that they want, tune, and build one themselves.

with the right basic tools, building customs is actually a relatively painless experience.

Hi anyone know who does mechanical keyboard repair?
Mainly to remove and solder few switches. Possible at KL region got any recommendation?

buy a soldering kit, and switches ? (they are pretty cheap , and you save a lot of money and hassle sending the keyboard to the Repairman , and then wait for repair usually 2 - 3 days (i think) , then another 1 - 2 days for courier to deliver it back to you? or COD but need to be at weekend, or after the Repairman finished his day job...?

I at first also tried looking for people to help remove and replace switches, the charges are fine, but you can never know which switch later start to act up after got the initially switches you found are double chattering. at first it was only 5 switches, then later it increased to other area (alphabets) and just yesterday (spacebar). Before was only the numpad area, only numbers, then later the *, - , + , and ENTER, including NUM LOCK, then /. it kept increasing, so i bought the switches from Shopee, bought the soldering kit too, get some scrap board , practice on desolder and solder, and when i am cofident, i open up my keyboard , Logitech G613, and desolder the switches and re-solder the new switches.

Save up the workmanship cost, they charge per switch about RM9 if you provide the switch, and RM15 if you didn't provide the switch, mine was for ROMER-G.

''Typically for Cherry type switches it's RM10/switch (parts and labour) but I do have a minimum charge of RM25 coz it takes roughly an hour to open up the keyboards and put them back together after assembly. So typically it's RM25 for 1-2 switches, and RM30 for 3 switches etc'' , said 60 11-1538 9868 (Puchong)

as for KL, i think will be around that price range too...

what keyboard btw?
