just leave this here as a reference, in case the diodes are detached from your pcbs.

the correct model number for the compatible diodes for mkb pcbs, such as yd60mq, and kbd67 is 1N4148. (e.g., 1N4148W, SOD-123F)

as for the sizes, the more common ones are SOD-123, and SOD-323. for instance, yd60mq is using the smaller 0805/SOD-323, which kbd67 is using 1206/SOD-123.

Hello! Interesting flat-bottomed Alice case. Where is that from? Or you made it yourself?

its a new Tecware keyboard, there is a new ignite logo on the keyboard.

The product name is Ignite

If you still want backlit, in order of quality (comparison is with CM stock keycaps):

Feels better sounds better

https://shop.tai-hao.com/categories/pbt-dou...backlit-keycaps
Feels better sounds about the same
Also look at their rubber keycaps, pretty good for WASD.

Pudding. Never tried but should be about same feels as CM.

Above 2 are from the same company.
Feels and sounds the same as ABS. They're ok to get if you're on a budget and you're really going after a colorway change.

This is worth a look.

NON Backlit
Drop, KBDfans, ilumkb, zfrontier en,

Lazada, Aliexpress and Taobao have more. You slowly look lah. Most will be roughly same quality like from this YMDK company or worse.

If you're going after feel and sound improvement, I suggest you lube instead. Night and day difference. My gamer friend was thinking of changing board for a while till I lubed his CM. Now he's super happy and content.
If you're going for a change in colorway then yeah go for it.

NOTE: I have tried SA keycaps on a CM board before and they dun fit because of the north facing LED. There's a chance thicker wall PBT keycaps might not fit. If you can find used Ducky keycaps, they're actually quite good.

Thanks so much bro... this hobby is definitely interesting but takes up quite a lot of time to do researching.
If there's any meetup, please let me know!

by the way i saw gamers hideout bringing in leopold.... are the prices ok ? i see range from 500- 1k

It's Zambumon's Lubrigante, but I added the full plate and took out some extra holes as well. I had the layers cut from Ponoko.

Apologies if this is not allowed here but I am looking to let go of my Royal Kludge RK71. More info can be found here: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=5081820&hl=

Thanks!

Oh nice, Zambumon is a great guy.

Are you in Malaysia? Mind sharing how much it costs for Ponoko to make and ship here?

No I'm not currently haha. I've heard that you could get it cut priced rather similarly in Malaysia though. It isn't a lot of acrylic so I'd imagine it would be fairly cheap if you find someone with a laser cutter that isn't an ass.

It was roughly $60 USD to have it cut from Ponoko. I believe the half plate version is slightly cheaper as well.

below RM500 any suggestion?
need 87 key and red switch only

If you want something non flashy and of decent build quality, look for Leopold FC750R. It's around your budget and there are models with red switches.

leopold 750r, https://shopee.com.my/Leopold-FC750R-Graphi...6936.4352298598

yeah, i also found this, dont like flashy and rgb

sweet.

this one has all the better options, compared to many others: decent build quality; double-shot 1.5-mm thick pbt caps (step sculpture 2 profile, very similar to cherry profile); full nkro; detachable cable; local warranty.

New Keycaps from Tecware, very reasonable price though
