got mine a week ago.
Its not bad, but couldn't get used to the layout. but it's for my gf anyway.
Going to mod the hell out of it, mainly for silence.

-White spraypaint
- KAT BoW keycaps
- Switch Pad
- Tape mod (might remove if it makes the board louder)
- Dampening foam
- Aliaz 70g with 62g TX springs (and lube of course, film if its quieter)
- Stab tape mod

cant wait for the taobao parcel to arrive biggrin.gif

I am a beginner, and I am purely addicted to the sound.

What is it about gat yellow that you like?

I'm not a linear fan, but I am a Gazzew fan lol, so I'd say bobagums.

It's kinda on the heavy side, but the best thing is it's 'creamy'. I like the 'creamy' sound.

which gateron yellow? (i.e., ks-3, ks-3x1, ks-8, ks-9) in general, gateron yellow has relative more stem wobbles, so it's kind of like unique compared to other competitions.

to me, everglide's yellow and jwick yellow pro are the closer ones, compared to gateron yellow with pc switch top. (well technically jwick yellow pro is more like gateron yellow pro) these two have relatively less stem wobbles
technically they all boil down to 3 main typing feels, but yeah the richness of stock key switches alone is crazy.

Erm, I have the lubed ones. Is there a model no to it?

afaik there are at least 5 different models on paper, i.e.,
- ks-3, ks-3x1 and ks-3x47 are with full nylon housings (these three are technically the same; the main difference is colors of housing);
- ks-8 and ks-9 is pc top and nylon bottom.

because of the differences in housing materials, they actually sound different. those with pc switch tops also have relatively significant switch top wobbles. (fixable with switch films)

[attachmentid=11115544]

if it's a prelubed, it's called gateron yellow pro.

Yes, it's the gateron yellow pro.

getting use to the new keyboard ...  sweat.gif  it is a bit longer and feel a bit diff since have been with my rk61 for almost a year already.
switching from my frankenswitch to the Harimau switch ... seems like the switch is softer then my previous maybe because the previous has a double spring and a longer stem.

Just one rant about the harimau switch ... the quality would be better since the pin is so damn fragile and i did bend a few when trying to replace the or switch  rclxub.gif
a funny story the no 1 key i cant get the harimau switch to fit but can get others to fit in  rclxub.gif  sweat.gif so in the end i use panda switches on the numeric keys. Heck i swap almost all switches that i have in hand can fit but not the harimau one ????

overall the sound of the keyboard is awesome to my liking out of the box  rclxm9.gif
no other mod yet though  ...

will share the noise it makes soon hahaha

Hi. You bought it from the official website? How's the shipping like and how much did you pay for shipping?
