Custom Keyboard
« on: Tue, 06 October 2015, 10:05:59 »
I want to buy cherry mx custom keyboard but I don't know what to buy any suggestion?, I want the case to be Alumunium. Korean custom that I know that sell available custom keyboard with Alu housing is just Gons other than that? And Duck keyboard is only GB. It's hard to search on Classified cuz the price is so crazy. Any advice? winkeyless and Ansi layout of course. Pls help!
  :p cheers

Any korean custom is going to be quite costly. If you want the keyboard relatively soon then your best bet would be classifieds. If you would prefer to have a keyboard to your exact liking then you could always order one from Gon but there is quite a wait on that as well, even if you happen to get in a active group buy now for another board it would still take a while for production and shipment of parts. Kustoms take a lot of time to develop and produce. They are also quite costly because of how small the orders are(Usually around 30-50).

Well I can wait, but I don't like the Gon floating key design. Will there be another gb for korean custom?

I believe the next GB for Duck's boards is going to the Octagon v2(75%), but the current groupbuy that started in April is just shipping now which is a perfect example to show how long GBs take. I would just keep an eye on classifieds just in case a nice kustom comes along but there will be other's interested as well. I would do a little research and find what layout best suits you because there is a decent amount of variety out there.

I've recently seen quite a few kustoms go up for sale on the subreddit r/meckmarket as well

The Orion v2 buy is closed, but should be shipping out soon. You could try and snag one if they show up in the classifieds.

There is a slight chance of that working, in fact it worked for me when I messaged another user that had ordered more than one. I fear though that not too many people will be willing to give up there order after waiting so long and how nice the board looks unless a financial problem comes up. Don't let me stop you though, I've developed an addiction of checking classifieds everytime I'm on the computer haha. Best of luck to you and if there is anything else you need don't hesitate to ask. :thumb:

I'd suggest getting in on the CF-LX Carbon Fiber 60% Case Group Buy while you still can, and you can order a PCB from Winkeyless.kr. (If you want a 60%, that is.)
