New Member - Need recommendation for modding work
« on: Tue, 02 September 2014, 11:35:17 »
Hello everybody,

New GH'er here and just started my Mechanical Keyboard "addiction".  I discovered the miracle that was mechanical keyboards about 2 months ago and since then purchased my first keyboard a WASD v2 with MX Blue.  After doing lots of research I decided I wanted ErgoClear but did not want to attempt the mod myself yet.  I have a poker II with clears coming to me from Massdrop and am looking for an experienced modder (in the USA) to do a spring swap and lubing for me.  I will pay for all shipping and compensate them for their time.  Thank you for looking at my post :)!

(Currently trying to get 62g and 65g springs from this thread)

Also can anyone comment on whether "stickering" a switch actually does anything or is it for looks?

For a modder, I highly recommend you talk to dorkvader. I've got a board he worked on and I love it.

In terms of stickers? They supposedly there to help with the wobble and for aesthetics. I don't care for them as I don't think they help or look that good compared to the time it takes me to sticker all the switches.

You're welcome. I unfortunately lie in the first part of my name since I'm not a captain :(.

And before I forget, welcome to Geekhack!

Welcome to Geekhack!

Sounds like you have already met some of our esteemed members!

Sorry to hear about your wallet though ;)

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
