nice

how hard would it be to install new leds?

well too hard for me

but it's just resoldering i think

desoldering and resoldering

wish I could pay some paki to solder them for me tbh

lmaoo

how long have you had your ducky shine for

like 5 years now?

idk

holy shit

how are you still sane after using blues for 5 years

whats wrong with blues

i started hating them a year into them

love the tactile feel

my mother would disagree though

that tactility started feeling unnecessary for me

and i started hating the sound

so i just switched to reds

do you have any idea where I would be able to buy new keycaps and leds?

aliexpress

but basically most of them have a really shitty typeface

unless you're getting pbt

saw some anon post his keycaps after 2 years of use

practically melted tbh

lmao

that's what happens with most abs keycaps

if you don't care that much about backlighting you could just get a nice PBT set and just forget about the leds

just leave them shining underneath

yeah I might just do that

the colour doesnt match anyway with the rest of my setup

like this for example

$40 <:pepewot:327934404234313739>

yeah those are a bit expensive

but there are way cheaper ones

anywhere I can buy tkl variants?

might save some money since less keycaps <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

the TKL variant is the 87 key one

the problem with cheaper PBT caps is that the typeface might fade away
