Title: Thai user 6664's keyboard mods
Post by: tribade on Wed, 19 November 2014, 11:02:32: Was just browsing r/MK and saw a link to a guy's Thai thread on his keyboard modifications. I really like the black and yellow one:

No idea what it says though.

The pseudo-carbon plate blue alps board is my favorite I think.

Mixing MX-mount and Alps-mount clicky SMK switches for the sake of mixing keycap sets seems like a great idea to me, though I’m not sure the feel/sound is quite identical.

But I wonder how long the spraypaint lasts?

Post by: mogo on Wed, 19 November 2014, 16:54:41: I will only dream of modding so many boards, and with such great execution. The digital camo board is surprisingly well done, with a very keen choice of keycaps. Thanks for the find. :thumb:

In my experience you don't have to worry about the paint on the case. The caps, though ...

That's what I assumed, thank you for confirming my assumption.

Post by: jacobolus on Sat, 17 January 2015, 02:28:38: Were SMK switches made in Thailand?

In any event, that Laser board with the straight ANSI layout (no two-row enter key) and MX-mount SMK switches is pretty sweet. Most of the ones I’ve seen have silly huge enter keys.

Because it's blue alps?
