Guys, is it worth to upgrade from razer blackwidow to huntsman?
I have been using blackwidow for 4 years now and thought of changing to huntsman elite. Looks cool.

Hi all, any local seller that sell Keychron? or is it have to order thru their official website?

delivery will cost u USD13

Ya consider cheap dy, my friend want to chip in as well 

missed the time when 1USD = RM3 tho  last time got borong from newegg

Hi Horns. Any pics or link for this? I've figured out a way to cut my foam to allow my space stab to be removed after desoldering the space switch(in theory) and will be tuning my stabs this weekend.

Thanks! The O ring mod video you posted also looks interesting though. Aiyo how la. I don't want to keep desoldering my switches to mod, later my PCB die.

But I don't think I have o rings small enough to fit in there. Or can it take the same size as keycap o rings? I don’t think there is enough space.

So either desolder multiple times or wait to get small o rings.

hi, i am new comer. I just got my new mechnical keyboard - Kemove61 with TTC gold pink switches at 37g.

Phantom Elite has PWM hiss/buzzing issue? Tried to use Phantom96 before and the hissing from PWM is annoying

I checked on Reddit and it is quite common they say. It happens on certain RGB colors only. Some are low hissing, some are high

as soft as Gateron white switch, slightly firm.

Switches and soldering tools arrived few days ago, soldered new switches in, works okay...

The older switches which i suspect have double click actually is fine, i used greases, and carefully put on four corners of the housing, and some thin layer on the actuator, and carefully not touching the contact pins... and soldered back in, and it's been very responsive like when it's new.

The keyboard now works fine.

I experienced de-soldering and solder it back with everyone who helped giving me tips and guidance , and now i am not that nervous , and surprisingly it's pretty easy.

the switches :

- the switches quality looks totally legit, with different plastic texture compared to factory switches, but they are 100% identical with G Logo and omron logo, no defects of any sort.

Do switches need greases? is it key chattering due to dried up greases over the years?

I lubed with automotive greases on ' double registering switches ' and it's back to okay again...  so, the switches are actually faulty or just need lubing?

I dissembled the new switches i bought from china and there's seems to be some transparent greases on the actuator... so it must be when over the years, the greases will gone from all the pressings?

I read about the terms ' lubing the switches ' for cherry switches, does that also to all switches of all makes? like Outemu, Cherry, romer-g, Gatereon?

I see.... i opened, the lube is thin and only cover the actuators, the side housing where the friction is none.

I used the automotive one, should be okay right?

it feels nice though... i can't feel friction. is there special lube/grease for mechanical switches?

I stored the grease in a plastic container, it looks okay though..... How to tell if it's petrolueum-based?

lol... i got a bit from a car workshop, store it some transparent container... it's green... i remember that the guy say that grease can withstand high temperature, etc etc.

i applied on many plastics before, it doesn't look it corrodes the plastic , so i guess it's safe.

Okay... it should be good for many years.

Spent an afternoon modding and for once nothing went wrong lol.

First goal was to get the Navy on Lock duty.

Curious thing I discovered is that the center "pin" of Kailh box navies don't go in very far.
[attachmentid=10547149]

The Kailh is the switch that hasn't been soldered. And as you can see from the clean holes, my desoldering iron is working like magic once again. I think for some reason it doesn't like the KPrepublic PCBs? No problem desoldering my IKBC with either lead free solder or my generic  63/37 solder. Curiouser and curiouser.

Second goal was to undo my band aid mods. Some keys were sticking and slow to return.

Interestingly not long ago, Taeha Types said in a Twitch stream that he no longer does this mod. Maybe his clients also had the same issues?

And while my stabs were out, I wanted to add some cloth tape on the ends of the wire. I thought I had cloth tape at home but it turns out I didn't. So I used PTFE tape instead. It's not "secured" in any way. I hope I don't regret it in a few weeks....

And lastly, this is how I got around to removing my spacebar stab with the foam in place.
[attachmentid=10547181]
[attachmentid=10547182]

how do you secure your PTfe tape on the board?
put on double sided tape?

just curious, what are you guys talking about? the stabilizers thingy?

My spacebar rattles a little if i tap on both ends.... the switch for the Spacebar is okay though.

Later i will try to find in taobao..

i use taobao using google translate

actually i`m not sure what has happen to me, ever since i manage to buy keyboard stuff from taobao,
i feel like my interest in mechanical keyboard is growing
last time i felt like this was back in 2013.
then busy working.

bought keycaps, switches, stablizers  and many more from there since early this year.
even manage to get Maxkey SA keycaps base set for RM 230.

my latest work is reviving old CM storm quickfire stealth - bought in 2013
desolder old chery swistches and replace with gateron brown. ( lubed, filmed)
+ lubed costar stabilizer

mechanical keyboard hobby indeed cost me a lot of money.
and right now i`m thinking of buying GMK set + KBDfans KBD8x mkii
