Peripherals Mechanical Keyboards

Then I am sure you love to hear I have two of those exact same plates coming in for my Keycool... with Clears.

 

That's fine, you can go nuts, i'll happily put them on other peoples keyboards I will never put them on my own keyboards though.

 

I'd love a desoldering gun; I still have to do it the ooolllddd slllooowww way. I do a hell of a lot of soldering but I still don't have any proper desoldering equipment. Maybe one day.

 

I don't think many people do.

I DO THOUGH

Best £110 quid i've ever spent. Though, it gets through tips like no ones business. I find the tips are only good for about 400 - 500 goes, then they start to mess up pcb's. Maybe actually they are now lasting me more like 600 - 700 goes as i'm getting better with the unit.

 

It would be good though; I do a lot of modding for retro consoles for myself and other people; commissions and such. A proper desoldering gun would be great for those old boards, the solder is stuck like rock sometimes.

 

LOOOOOOOOL

Also, can't wait for my plate

 

Thanks for the link, certainly better than mechanicalkeyboards.com in shipping, although I sense the possibility of ending up with a well lubricated jiffy bag.

It would be wasted on me now, don't have the clear stems. Then I'm not really sure what board I want to put the ergo-clears on either. mechanicalkeyboards.com is still the best place to get clears right? I'll have to place an order at some point.

 

I was looking at one of those last week - as much as I would like a full-on desolder/rework station, I can't justify the cost.

 

Meh, free spikey hair - will save me a tidy sum on hair gel. Win win.

 

Any thoughts on WASD's keyboards looking at customising one of these.

Wouldn't you be better off with a Ducky Shine 3 TKL?

 

oh I definitely agree about what Gareth has linked - I didn't know they existed prior to my purchase, else I would of definitely given one of those a shot. I do not feel bad about my purchase though, as it gets several hours use every single week.

 

I just liked the fact i could get the caps i wanted from the start rather than getting a new set for the ducky?

 

WASD caps are pony though. their keyboards are alright, I prefer ducky's all day though having modded a few WASD boards.

 

Ill go for a ducky then I think, how hard is it to change out the leds? I would like to do a multi coloured theme?

Cheers

Plus it made the missus cross. Double whammy!

 

It's 6 quid?! Surely it can't be very good... Could be worth it just for some of the NES and NeoGeo stuff though. One day i'll have an epic soldering/desoldering station, my missus has to put up with it either way.

Also, that site is awesome; great conversion prices from USD and free GB delivery. Bookmarked I think.

 

I have actually ordered lube from them before (for Margon actually but it was delivered to me first) and it came very well sealed up actually - vacuum sealed and everything Plus you can stock up on novelty caps whilst you're at it
