Any recommendation for dual-mode wireless/wired tkl with linear switches?

sounds like it ticks all my boxes... but what are those chinese switches, can't make decisions

can get direct from taobao ma

the rama mod looks like it will affect the travel distance of the stabilizer...

if you are staying near Puchong I can borrow you Huang Hua soldering iron, stand, and the Mechanic HX-T100 soldering wire to experience soldering for yourself

if you're worried then maybe can get GRexer's help. I recently got his service to desolder a Poker 2 PCB, the man did a damn great job!

personally find that the 0.6mm Mechanic solder works great. also tested 0.8mm before and it was too thick

I'm extending the same offer again. I have a lot of extra and I'm not building keyboards anymore. so if you wanna, come collect from me, just return the leftover when you are done.

How about IKBC?

I thought Leopold is using mini USB instead of micro usb?

DIY your own keyboard tray

Looking for recommendation with these spec. Any recommendation?

1. Form factor: TKL (non-exposed switch)
2. Switch: Linear switch
3. Connection: 2.4ghz wireless
4. Hotswap: Optional if switch is good enough
5. Budget: Below RM500

Was considering Everglide SK87 or RK987 but the Bluetooth connection might not be as reliable as 2.4ghz

thanks for pointing that out, someone also pointed out that the Gateron Inks retail for much expensive than the K87 . Picture in the page shows Gateron Inks, but when I double checked with the seller, its actually using Gateron KS-9 switches. What else should I double check for regarding the custom PCB?

Just ordered this from Taobao -> https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=637294463074.

2.4G, BT5.0 and USB-C connection, available with TTC or Kailh Box linear switches. Also have the option to go without switches so you can use your own switches (hot-swappable)

freight shipping... going to be a long wait

You can imagine the quality with some keyboards going as low as RM100+ nowadays. You get what you pay in the end.

What do you mean by the 2.4G buddy? Good or bad? The reason why I didn't go for the IKBC W200 is because it lacks the option for wired connection in case wireless turns out to be a mess

anyone have heard of custom mechanical keyboard modded with logitech unifying/ lightspeed wireless? looks interesting but very few resources online about it

there isn't anything to customize. just order the complete set with switches, when it arrive just put on your keycaps and its usable
