Will it work?

[Totally-A-Hero]

So i want a tkl backlit mechanical and the cheapest one is 130 usd so can i buy the CM Storm sothin for 70 bucks and then get the nzxt hue lighting and line the keyboard with it inbetween the keyrows? If not is Kail switches alright?

It'd be a pain in the ass but it may work but it seems like a waste of time IMO.

[Askew]

Sounds like a waste of time to me, I wouldn't try it.

Ok thanks, is backlighting that worth it? Bcuz if it is i wont get ten key less.

If you want backlit tenkeyless then go for CM Storm's QFR-I. Tested, Cherry Brown switches. not some china ripoff so that's okay.

 

Kailh switches is not alright (based on experience)

 

And NZXT's hue IINM it's 12volts. you need to know how to powerup 12 volts. definitely not usb.

 

It's hard to say whether if backlighting is worth it or not cause it's user's preference. If AND ONLY IF youir budget is high then you can consider getting NerD TKL.

 

This is perhaps one of the best custom keyboards out there. http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com/custom-kbds-w-assembly/66-gon-ns-nerd-tkl-w-tuningassembly.html

 

TKL with on switch + side LED. the reason that it's so freaking expensive is because of the keyboard's housing included.

 

If you're the DIY kinda guy and good with soldering I would say go and get a naked NerD TKL PCB and start accquiring your other materials slowly.

I solder but def not in price range.

yeah true. the PCB alone can't do anything.

 

I think if you want backlighted TKL with advanced features, quickfire rapid - i is okay. just that it's only available in brownswitches for now.

Do we know if it'll ever be available in clicky switches?

by clicky you mean blues?

 

I personally do not know what other switches they'll come with. I know they're going to come in with mx reds though.

 

Else, desolder and solder in other switches

I meant ether blues or greens. Preferably greens since I like a heavy switch. But as you said, you don't know what other switches they'll come in so don't worry bout it. Also I am the WORST person to go to for soldering, I somehow always end up burning everything in sight (myself and other people included).
