Title: KUL ES-87 with Ducky PBTs
Post by: JiveMasterT on Mon, 28 September 2015, 14:30:42

Just a quick pic of my work setup.

I'm trying to get the same setup for home but I can't find anyone else who still carries KUL ES-87s in the US with brown switches.  If anyone has a lead on them lame know!

Looking good! I've always liked the blank green/white (or is it "cream cheese").

Thanks.  Yeah I'm a big fan of the way these keys look and feel.

I managed to track down a white KUL ES-87 for home.  I already have a set of blue/grey Ducky keys to go on it.  I'll make sure to update the original post with pictures of it when it shows up :)

The KUL keyboards are really well built mechs.  It's kind of annoying that they are becoming harder and harder to find.

I very much like mine, except for the ping. I'm hoping it goes away when I swap the switches for Zealios and add some sound deadening behind the plate.

Well my KUL ES-87 in smoke/white came in...

I swapped out the keys for some more Ducky PBT.  I'm not sure if I like it yet... I thought the blue was going to be a bit more teal but it's kinda powder blue so it clashes with the white a bit.

I am thinking about just getting some plain black caps for it but I don't know yet.  It's perfectly serviceable as is.

Weird.  Neither of my KULs have any ping.  I hope you fix it.  I can understand how annoying that must be.
