Title: New Member - Need recommendation for modding work
Post by: mbrown559 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.

Thanks for the quick reply CPTBadass,  It seems you stay true to your name "BadAss".  I will contact dorkvader and see if he can help me out :)!

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!
