QUOTE(horns @ Nov 5 2020, 07:52 PM) search cherry mx at shopee/taobao/aliexpress. alternatively you can ask to see if there are owners in mymkb fb group that can spare one for you. Hello horns, yes I have searched through lazada and Shopee... Can see some of them selling but with my limited knowledge, I can't even tell if they are genuine switch...the better news is still its availability  hopefully it will all work out well.what's your board? it sounded like the windows key cap is in contact with the case, and caused this. maybe it's just misalignment; maybe it's something else.  I search through eBay, 10 x RGB brown switches cost about RM50, is it normaly that expensive? |

Finally received my Q1 Knob version today. Bought along a set of Christmas keycap but I guess it's too late to celebrate Christmas with that keycap.
Overall as a novice user, I'm surprised by the Q1 quality and oh my, this keyboard is really heavy compared to my very first Mech Keyboard One2SF. From a full size keyboard to 65% keyboard, I'm definitely missing some dedicated keys such as F ~ and Insert... So maybe 75% is a balance between full size and 65%. Switching from Brown -> Red switch and will see how it goes. I wish Keychron include dust cover to protect the keyboard from dusty environment...

QUOTE(Mavik @ Jan 16 2022, 10:21 AM) Do you want to trade the browns with the red? I just swapped out my reds from my Q1. Actually the brown switches is on One2SF. I'm moving from One2SF (Brown) -> Q1 (Red).Red feels softer but smooth and quiet which is good typing at night... |

QUOTE(Mavik @ Jan 16 2022, 06:22 PM) Got it, thought that if you were already buying them, then I thought why not a trade. Cool and have fun. I am still learning about all these mechanical keyboard stuff as well haha. What switch are you upgrading to?I haven't decided to open up to have a look... Will wait for YTbers review before I decided what to do with it... Out of the box I have no complain over the build quality but definitely looking forward to try other setup! Questions - how do you guys store the switches and keycaps / accessories? |

QUOTE(Moogle Stiltzkin @ Feb 7 2022, 11:39 AM) Durian pewter keycap o-O; Pricing is definitely the issue...https://www.lowyat.net/2022/264956/rebult-r...-pewter-keycap/ RM359 each  i think you can probly get a cheap mkb using the same amount. but if you're rich and got money to splurge, then that's a different story  The pewter keycap is hard to sell... as of 22:15, only 21 keycaps is sold...
