Found this piece at taobao and got it for 110usd. Model is G81-1800
just received it not more than an hour ago. unpacked and find the condition of the keyboard is almost like new except a small scratch on the spacebar.
started typing on it and this how i feel generally,
- the switches feels a bit clumsy, not as crisp as my other blue switches
- the typing experience feels hollow, very plastic
- key caps are 99.5% brand new. Love the caps
- Love the layout, good for working and even gaming.
- the case is way too thin, when you accidentally tap on it you can actually hear that hollow plastic sound.
Plans
- changing the pcb (possibly leeku with plate)
- lube all the switches or even maybe changing them
- add LEDs, orange is my color
- spray the case to dolch color
- custom a usb cable for it
- custom pvc sticker for the num lock,caps lock and scroll lock indicators.
Would love to hear what you guys think about the mods im gonna make. any suggestions?
