Mechanical KB information

[Koenig168]

been looking around for a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard with black cherry mx switches

any suggestions? closest I can find is the CM Quickfire Rapid

You can consider getting a ZhuQue and replace all the switches.

i bought mine here : https://world.tmall.com/item/524142355125.htm

you can either buy the complete set and pluck everything out or buy the switch-less one and plug in the black cherry mx switches that is also available in taobao

rmb to look for rgb switches otherwise the light won't shine through the letters/words on the keycaps

Anyone knows where in singapore can i get replacement cherry MX Red Switches? dont feel like replacing the whole KB ((

Buy from taobao in 4s or 10s and replace it yourself, shipping shouldn't be too expensive if you use ezbuy.

Any particular sellers to recommend or have personally used before?

Saw a few sellers but dont know about the actual quality.
doesnt have to be like AAA but at least i want it to feel like the rest of my cherry red keys.

I bought that. Makes your keyboard mushy like rubber dome. Immediately removed it.

Having o-rings is better for your fingers in the long run. I'm using these o-rings in my BW Ultimate Stealth. Feels slightly softer as intended but certainly not mushy.

Half?? You mean 60% KB is it???

Been using since many yrs back. My first was a filco minila which is now in my office. Home using leopold FC660.

bro, what key caps are those? Looking good, been trying to find something similar on taobao

Recently got the C.M Masterkeys Pro S but their keycaps gets oily so easily within around 2 weeks of usage. Any fix to this? Keycaps/cleaning solution?

Don't really have any to recommend, I've gotten Gaterons from taobao before, not Cherry. Just make sure to check reviews.

To add on... Don't order exact. Orders a few more than you need. I ordered from 2 shops. 1 had a bent pin, the other one came with 2 that doesn't work.

Looks like second hand already, assuming it was brand new. Change keycaps
