Anyone ordered from winkeyless.kr before?

Saw this keyboard here which was really interesting https://imgur.com/a/jZz30

Not sure if winkeyless has the option to build for us before sending over because i dont really know how to DIY a keyboard haha.
Yes they do, I'm probably gonna order it some time next year to make use of my Zealios switches. They used to have an option to provide switch soldering services, but seems like they've removed it. Just send Hojin (the owner) an email at winkeyless@gmail.com, he replies pretty quick.

I'm sure he still offers it, but it might be cheaper to look for soldering services locally (Rochor centre has a few) since he charges quite a lot to solder IIRC, US$30 or 40.

check out geekkeys, quite a lot of color options. and also on sale.

just take note, the # is printed wrong side. (and I think it's for all sets, but not a problem for me.

;)

Ok I think I should rephrase my question lol.

Which is your preferable switch and what's the reason?

Gateron > cherry > outemu > kailh

Outemu isnt bad if u prefer lighter switches

and kailh isnt bad if yo u get a good batch

I just received my 120 Gateron Browns from Massdrop. Quality-wise, comparable to the Cherry Browns on my Razer KB. Feels a bit different though. Smoother and slightly quieter.

Thanks will do that. By the way. Is there no way of trying out the various switches before buying?

I understand there are many switches like gaterons, zealios, outemu apart from cherry. So do you guys usually just buy the switches and just trial and error?

For Zealios, I think ZealPC sells a switch sample set on his site, quite costly though if you include shipping, I just went with it since it's got such good reviews by the community. Cherry switches can easily be tested at X-treme solutions at Sim Lim. As for the chinese brands, you can get a small amount from taobao for fairly cheap, maybe 5-10 of each switch and mount them somewhere to test.
