Hehe. Anyways if you're really dying for one asap in browns and can't wait for Amazon, NCIX is selling it for $90 (shipping is free if you can wait 2-8 business days, otherwise it's $11 for 2-6, which really isn't much of a difference).
http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=71928&vpn=SGK-6000-GKCM1-US&manufacture=COOLERMASTER

Man I really have to stop looking at the MKT. Every time I come here I feel like spending money. Right now I'm sacking my QFR blues for the brown version instead.

does anyone know where i can purchase keycaps for my keyboard? and whether i can design them myself? I am also not sure how to check for compatibility; I use a ducky 9008S; are all mechanical keyboards' keycaps the same sized, or would it not all be usable with custom caps?

Ducky is compatible with all standard keycaps. But that is the shine isn't it? If so it is kinda challenging to find keys that let the backlight through even though they will fit.

There is some Chinese store that sells keycaps, cant remember its name.

WASD keyboards if you want to design things yourself.

all cherry switch mechanical keyboards follow same keycap row heights and size standards, with exception of a few buttons on certain keyboards, if they keys are cramped into different shape, for the compressed keyboards.

He should be fine though with Ducky. There's just a few mechanical keyboards that require non-standard modifiers such as the CM Storm and Leopold. If he's buying keycaps for the Ducky Shine II though, he should do a bit of research on keycaps that allow the LED lights to be visible. There are a few on the market, but not all will.

From what you described you just need a new stabiliser?

I think you can buy new stabilisers from WASD, possibly available from other places.

Can you guys recommend me some cherry mx reds with backlighting?

At this point, I'm not too concerned with budget. Just throw Em out there.

I did find this, but it seems relatively new, so I don't know if the quality is well done: Gigabyte Aivia Osmium;

from what it sounds, wasd keyboards' custom keycaps don't allow the backlight to go through? not if its laser etched OR engraved?

thanks for everyone's reply nonetheless! :D if anyone knows where to make custom keycaps that allows backklighting please let me know!

maybe ...the metal bar that made the spacebar spring is completely gone ...all I have is the space key and the brown switch itself .... you can only press the space key down in the middle and it feels like crap

hard to answer. It does require a little dexterity to keep those inserts straight. There are videos on youtube.

So I'm looking to buy a Noppoo Choc Mini with Cherry MX Red switches with the black body casing I don't really like the white one to much. I was wondering if anybody knew of a good place where I can buy one?

I believe ebay (qtan specifically) is one of the easiest ways to get one internationally.

Probably with a screwdriver from one side only. Don't do it, kids.

Just bought the Noppoo Choc Mini, Cherry mx red switches, white version. Will receive it in a few days.
Thoughts?

edit: oh to the guy above me asking where he should buy one, go to ebay and search for qtan5370. First time buying from this seller but everyone says good things about him on forums so yeah.
