I have the same keyboard, well mine is non rgb, it has white LED'S, I love mine too. Also waiting for keycaps to arriveWhy did you ordered 108 keycaps set for a tenkeyless board though?

I ordered 108 because I couldn't find just a TKL set of the same keycaps (or other ones I liked) for a similar price for the same thing (dark grey or black PBT dye-sub). I have browns on mine.

That's exactly what I did on my G710. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have very, very little experience soldering. I don't want to mess it up and be without a keyboard and have a bunch of useless switches lying around. If I get better I might consider doing that, but at that point, I might as well build one. I'm not a fan of the case on my keyboard; it has a horrible soft-touch plastic on it that gets dirty from just sitting on my desk. The stabs are also shit, but I bet I could replace those if I replaced the switches. Quote me to see my reply!

My board also has browns, they are fine for my taste,far from great though. I'm planning to build a keyboard myself, but have trouble deciding what switch to go with..

My only experience soldering was nearly 10 years prior, and when I soldered the switches I used a crappy, very basic soldering iron. Not saying it's impossible to mess up, but if even I could do it... But building one would give you more options for everything, yeah. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at Aliexpress, but I wanted something from a reputable brand. I completely agree with what you said about browns, but it was all I really had available at the time (Cherry MX switches that is; there was that, clones, or rubber domes). If I had to go off just sound alone, I'd go with BOX Jades. They sound so good...I wish I had somewhere to try them out Quote me to see my reply!

Posted December 30, 2018 I'd never soldered before when I built my first keyboard. However soldering is a bit more difficult and requires some extra equipment.

Posted January 3, 2019 Plum NiZ 84ECs Pro 35g Electrostatic Capacitive Keys PBT Key Caps I added 10g springs to the ESC, Space, Caps, Tab and Delete keys. I prefer it over my KUL ES87 or Corsair K70 Rapidfire by far. So pleasant to type on and super responsive. I also really like the F keys directly above the numerical keys for keybindings in MMORPG’s.

Posted January 4, 2019 FYI, for those who don't absolutely need a Scroll Lock key (has anyone ever used that key at all?): Here's my Soarer's map to make my IBM F XT have a decent "layout" with additional functionalities behind the Scroll Lock "layer". Feel free to extend. # IBM XT remapping, best used with European layouts. # Mostly restores an "almost Model M" feeling. remapblock PAD_ASTERIX LGUI # PrtScr = Windows key CAPS_LOCK RALT # Caps Lock is less interesting than AltGr # standard nav cluster: PAD_1 END PAD_2 DOWN PAD_3 PAGE_DOWN PAD_4 LEFT PAD_5 ENTER PAD_6 RIGHT PAD_7 HOME PAD_8 UP PAD_9 PAGE_UP PAD_PERIOD DELETE # switch ^° and #' BACKSLASH EUROPE_2 BACK_QUOTE BACKSLASH endblock # provide two layers: # make NUM LOCK (mostly) work as NUM LOCK should, # use SCROLL LOCK to remap some of the keys remapped # above so we don't lose any functionality. ifselect any remapblock NUM_LOCK SELECT_1 SCROLL_LOCK SELECT_2 endblock # definitions when NUM LOCK is active: ifselect 1 remapblock # restore numpad PAD_1 1 PAD_2 2 PAD_3 3 PAD_4 4 PAD_5 5 PAD_6 6 PAD_7 7 PAD_8 8 PAD_9 9 PAD_0 0 PAD_PERIOD PERIOD endblock # definitions when SCROLL LOCK is active: ifselect 2 remapblock # Make PrtScr PrtScr again PAD_ASTERIX PRINTSCREEN # Transform <> into ^° BACKSLASH BACK_QUOTE endblock Note that I don't really need the number block for anything other than using the nav keys. Those of you who do might want to un-remap the PAD_ASTERIX (no typo ) key or add a LCTRL + PAD_ASTERIX combination. HTH. Write in C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
