A safer way to pull out the switches without breaking them is to unscrew the whole mounting plate and push the plastic stem (bottom part of the switch housing) from beneath the PCB. This takes a little more effort but if you still want your switches in one piece then I suggest you try this method. I've had this keyboard for a week and pulling out the switches with just the switch puller is quite annoying. I figured I'd do this method when I thought of lubing the switches and it saved me a lot of time and sweat trying to pull out the switches from the top.

This might be the best video of the year. At first anyone who's read the Tecware box knows that swapping only works from Outemu to Outemu-- i found the pins are 1.2mm while gaterons are 1.57. I was going to search vids on filing down the contacts as mentioned by reddit when I came upon this first. U just squeezed them narrower! 11:29 That's brilliant! You got me all excitied with possibilities now, though i still have longevity concerns with this pcb b/c it seems 20% of amazon reviews mention failures within a month to 6 months.

@fresharmo 3 жыл бұрын
I'm glad you found this helpful! As far as longevity is concerned the PCB has been fine for me after using the keyboard for a year. But I've only swapped the switches once so I don't know how long it'll hold up if you're frequently swapping switches.

Your keyboard looks so gorgeous with that keycap set! I love it! Sounds so good as well! I just picked up the black Royal Kludge RK987 the other day. I got it with the Brown switches (soldered) for only $49 with $5 off coupon. I am using it on my new Mac Mini M1 w/ bluetooth. I don't really game much and just wanted an alternative to the overpriced horrible feeling Apple Magic Keyboard. This keyboard is a dream as well. I really love these brown keys. (I have also used the red keys and like the linear feel.. I imagine your yellows are a dream). Anyways last night, I just bought the same keycap set you bought in this video; thanks for the link! Amazing the quality and aesthetics you can achieve with just $75 :) This RK987 absolutely destroys the Apple Magic Keyboard in quality and aesthetics. This keycap set perfectly matches the silver Mac Mini M1 case with the black apple logo on top of it. (I keep the backlighting turned off.. it's only a white light on the keyboard I got.. but I dont' really care for lighting nor the extra power consumption on bluetooth keyboard).

It’s all preference. But browns are very different from reds and yellows. They have a bumpy feeling similar to blues while reds and yellows are smooth and linear. I personally love yellows over reds. They’re better quality feeling.

I've read you can just push gateron switches a bit harder to make them fit in this board but ofc that might be a bit risky

If you live in asia a good 40$ keyboard isn't all that surprising. Mine has a 65% universal hotswap board (you don't need to mod the pins), detachable usb C, programmable macro and RGB, super smooth stock stabs, hell the keycaps is super nice too with the non-stenciled elegant fonts Mine also comes with outemu red but idk why it's suprisingly smooth and silent for some reason, it feels a lot heavier than the advertised 60g bottom out too
