Mechanical KB information

[zephyr11]

wah, away for a couple of weeks, didn't know so many ppl checking for stuff/info.

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

I actually have some spare gateron browns laying around, if you want can pass you a couple, maybe you can take out the cherry from the not so often used keys and replace with the gaterons.

let me know if you need any.


marsbarz:

nakedshades:

side printed keycaps should be easy to find on tb. just search for 侧刻

still looking for a set of nice keycaps for myself, nothing flashy but some details, sky dolch would have been perfect, but they're sold out and waaaaaay to expensive anyway.

any suggestions?

Those Keycaps cost more than twice of your keyboard.

quality keycaps don't come cheap

i may have a set of GMK dolch to let go if you are interested(need to dig them out, all over my keyboards lol)

similarly you can purchase the classic black from originative or geekkeys

bought a varmilio from taobao, and at the same time, bought an additional set of keycaps. didn't expect the keycaps to feel THAT much better than the default varmilo keycaps.

and it's not expensive as well.. costs about 30 bucks. the default varmilo keycaps really kinda suck. not to mention other brands like CM, armaggeddon, or razer. all of which really provide really lousy default keycaps.

^^^^^^^

i asked for the source of your keycaps in the hooots thread, if you could let me know where they are from, greatly appreciated!

adv:

yes i know, but they really do make a great diff in feel and "shiokness", lol...

been looking on geekkeys, really have some that i really like, but still trying to find cheaper alternatives, if really don't have then have to bite the bullet...

i bought it from this link:

https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=533821086077&sku_properties=5919063:6536025

i can't say that it's really good though, because my experience with keycaps is somewhat limited to the default ones. but right now, this is one of the best feeling keycaps i'd experienced. i got 2 more sets of key caps coming in tomorrow though. i'll post a picture of them once i get them changed.

the MD stuff you see in taobao is basically the chinese buying from MD as a middle man, most of MD's or geekhacks group buy quota gets hit mostly because of the chinese

 

[RyuShinEX]

Oh... Didn't know that.

 

[Darknights]

as promised, here are some pictures of the keycaps that i'd bought from taobao.

This is one whole set on it's own.. with my old armaggeddon cherry red.
i like the color combination, but i don't really like how the keycap feels.
Though it's definitely an improvement over the default keycaps.

This set, is my new varmilo with 2 different set of keycaps.
Though it doesn't look like much, the alphabet and arrow keys, which was brought separately from another seller in taobao, feels A LOT better. They are both PBT keys, yet, the white keys feels much better on the fingers and nicer to type on. The difference is rather stark.
