They're not sold together. Cherry doesn't make LEDs AFAIK. If the LED is working fine, all you need to to fix the switch. Cleaning and lubing it might fix your problem.

pretty much what he said, i wonder if there are any custom foam out there for leopold

Oh ok. Yes, my own foam mod was much more complete.

been using cheapo mech keyboard my whole life.. then upgraded to tecware (red switch) then ducky one (blue switch).. gave both of them away.. now unsure to just stick with budget (RK71) or do better and consider leopold/filco etc.. sigh

there are plate foams made for specific models of tkl, e.g. those from mkultra.click, or kbdfans.com. if you really wanna try them out, you can. however imo the better option is to just get strips of EVA foam (3mm + 0.5mm, or 4mm) with single-sided adhesive, cut and stick them yourself.

right. it's actually a practical and cheap mod if you do it yourself. i did get pre-cut plate foams also. to me, they make no obvious difference, besides looking clean. (which serves no functional purposes)

first of all, mkb modding is not about price tag in many cases. it's mainly about tuning, with the right parts. it's already proven in meetups for many years and times, that with good tuning skills, cheapo boards feel nice too. (while still bound by physical limits)

if you just wanted to have a decent typing experience with commercial boards only, then you should opt for leopold, filco, and varmilo. if not, maybe you should consider hot-swap kits, or jump straight into custom kits, and learn how to solder/desolder.

varmillo main web allows you to customize from ground up if you're lazy to learn.

If you don't mind doing some research and waiting for shipping, you can source parts from aliexpress and make your own budget custom board. Or you could mod prebuilts like I do

yup! decided to keep my phantom 87 red switches.. met a kind soul on fb group to pick up some colored keycaps from him.. start of my mkb mod!

since you also mod prebuilts.. you got any parts looking to clear? can pm tepi..

Anyone got experience with TTC Silent brown pro v2 switches?
Cheap, silent, tactile.......
Might be my cup of tea.
Unless got some fatal flaw somewhere.

I only have a bunch of Cherry MX Black and Clear switches XD

I desoldered them from my Ducky Mecha Mini and Kul Es-87 and put in Gateron Yellows. Sooo smooth, and after filming and lubing with Krytox they sound amazing. Swapped the terrible stabilizers with genuine cherry ones and they don’t rattle anymore.

the cheapest is from kelowna, and it's not bad.

First post material right here.

Ohh. I thought the switch and LED is together. Cause it seems like together when I remove the keycaps. Hahaha

The problem with the switch is that sometimes I press it doesn't register or it will register twice or more. Quite annoying.

once i press one key, it auto come out double and triple
any ppl know how to solve it ?
G810

some also make their own by 3d-printing them hehe

both sounded like key chattering. you can try blow compressed air into the affected switches (stuff like lens blower works also), and see if it helps: take off the cap, press the slider down, and then blow air into the switch. you should spam the switch for a while also.

usually air blowing trick should do the job well. if air blowing is not working, you can still desolder and tear the affected switch down, then clean it up, then put it back. or, you can just replace it with a good one.

if it's still not fixed, it might be something else at fault.

ok
thanks
tonight i try XD

anyone know where can i get a topre here?
