MY LATEST KEYBOARD PROJECT


I've bought the Kumara Reddragon k552-2 a while ago...

It's a decent keyboard (great for it's price), with a solid build and hot-swappable switches, but easily starts to presents problems. I've yet to determine if those problems are related to switches or keycaps. Weirdly enough, if I'd blow air into the keycap and switch separately (meaning, having removed the keycap from it's place), it would work again.

That would suggest a problem with dirt, right? Not necessarily. If you consider that I just removed the keycap and placed it again, I could just be fitting it in better. So... I don't know.

BUT as i recently found out, Akko switches and keycaps fit perfectly in the kumara! So I needed to have them! I bought a set of white on black SAL profile Double-Shot ABS keycaps and 2 sets of Akko CS Starfish switches, that are linear and need 50g actuation force. Absolutely fantastic products!

No they aren't paying me to say this... I WISH!


Do you wanna see how it looks after modding?
