Morning ladies and gents
Need some assistance.
Wanting to upgrade the stabs on my Keychron.
Will these work: Everglide Panda Black White Gold Plated Plate Mounted Stabilizer Custom Mechanical Keyboard Plate YC66 Zeeyoo 68 YC96 Womier
As far as i can tell they will but just want to be sure before i waste some money.

@Mike Should have a list today for you. Any idea on shipping time?

Hey man - pretty much no idea, but I will be using expedited shipping. Details below

Regarding the gb

I want to buy waterkings and that might cause a delay. KPR don't say how long it might be.

Just a heads up as it seems no one can keep up with the demand of these

Yea!!

Regarding the GB

KPRepublic has a sale on from the 15th

Big discounts in 618 shopping week​


2021 KPrepublic 618 Shopping Week is coming.
We prepare lots of best price items and discounts for you.
Here are the general discount codes,
they are available
ONLY on kprepubic.com
from 15th June to 21st to June.

Buy $100 get $5 off - 618b100g5
Buy $150 get $10 off - 618b150g10
Buy $200 get $30 off - 618b200g30

The $30 off $200 seems decent, but I'm not sure how much our total will be at this point. The more over 200 we go, the less of a difference it makes. Please let me know if you'd prefer to wait until Tuesday for me to order in the hopes of saving 5-10%

I think it would probably be better to wait a couple days.
My order is between 75 and 95 dorra so if we can save 10% that would be amazing.

In hindsight of this maybe someone can make sure I've selected the right stuff? Think I might have gone overboard...

Was also considering the Everglide stabs and decided to rather stick with Durock. If anyone finds a review, please can you share here? :)

So I need clip-in stabs for the Keychron.
The Durock's are pretty good.

Is the shipping cost of getting a varmilo this side rough or does anyone have prior experience? I saw ctrl shift esc having some varmilo's but no ECV2 switches nor 65%s which is a bummer.
 
Wondering if anyone in JHB might have a proper switch puller for me to use or a spare to sell me?
This casual peasant has some sweet switches but no decent puller to swap them out with
 
Hi Everyone I have a quick question.. so I am looking to get my first dz60 kit. Woop. My budget allows me to either get a tofu 60% case or a premium keycaps set... Which do I go for? I am coming from modding cheap kits with in lubed brown gateron switches so I'm not sure what premium feels or sounds like .

I would get the tofu and a cheap pbt keycap set. You can (will) always buy quality keycaps later.
 
I fitted unlubed milky yellows to my GMMK pro to test it out.... Immediate impression... What the hell is up with these stabs!? 🤣 Shift key, backspace and enter are sluggish. Also, the shift key sticks when bottoming out. Spacebar is fine.

I'll take a look at the stabs when I lube the switches... The scratch is real.

I haven't figured out how the layers work as yet. It feels like I'm switching profiles instead of layers. I just want a 2nd function/layer print screen button without QMK.

Overall, I'm really happy. Stabilizers are easy enough to fix. It makes for an excellent platform/kit to build upon at the price. I probably would have been upset if the keyboard was sold as a complete unit with switches and keycaps.
 
Oh and RGB accuracy is pretty good. It really, really grinds my gears when I set RGB to a certain colour in software and it's totally off in real life. The GMMK Pro can pull off an understated soft white quite well.

You really have to clean the stabs. Stock lube on these are absolute atrocious.
 
Ok so
After tinkering a bit more with my GMMK pro, I discovered why even my Durock stabs felt like they were "sticking". I direct your attention to the picture below:


Now , you are probably wondering what you are looking at. For some reason, the material Glorious decided to use to silence the stabs has become sticky thanks to their lubricant, leading to the stabs sticking whenever I pressed one of the bigger mods.

My solution? I peeled the material off and replaced it with some insulation tape. The result? No more sticking.

Quite strange lol. If anyone else has this issue, let me know.
