Check the edit, I think people are quick to comment without actually getting what the issue is

Thanks :) I watched this one: https://youtu.be/Fea82bxE8EA
There might be some other shorter guides but I liked being able to see the process start to finish

Listen to some sound tests of the NK87. Personally i think the Tiger 80 Lite is lightyears ahead of the NK87, atleast in sound.

I ordered it thinking it's what I wanted, and the next day changed my mind on a portion of it. I contacted them within 24 hours (their cancellation window) about the modification, not entirely expecting they'd be able to do it but worth checking anyway. Nothing on their site notes that orders cannot be modified and must be cancelled. I don't think they need to have that on there, but it'd be a good idea. Because I think to the average person if you have a 24 cancellation window you might be able to modify an order within that timeframe too. Again, not expecting it but hoping. Their response time was also reasonable, but did place us well outside the 24hr window. It wasn't until their response that I was informed orders cannot be modified and must be cancelled/resubmitted. Had that been noted on their site, I'd have just cancelled within that window. This element of my post was more to kind of get that info out there, I'm fine with them not being able to make a modification outside their window.
The poor experience/larger frustration came from me having to ask three different times about a shorter cable before I got an actual response that addressed it. When you have to ask your question three times, it feels like they aren't actually reading your email.

Just making sure: You ordered a product, knowing it wasn't what you really wanted, ordered and paid anyways, only to contact CableMod after that to see if you can change something - because you didn't want the thing you ordered to begin with? How is that CableMods fault? 24 hours is a perfectly reasonable response time, and you should've contacted them before buying something you don't really want.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I don't really feel your "poor experience" with CableMod is justified.

Great looking kb! If you don’t mind me asking, was there a tutorial you followed along when setting it up?

Board:Tiger 80 lite in black
Keycaps: Hyekic Blue Knights (will be replacing these soon, wouldn't recommend)
Switches: lubed Boba u4 silents (need to work in an office without annoying everyone)
Stabilizers: Durock v2 with bandaid mod
Sound dampening: lots of foam and killmat sound insulation all around the board
Overall sound: what little you can hear sounds like a light rain when typing

Reply to Novel Keys mystery switches. Did I lose out? Not familiar with TTC switches. by BaconLover57
I wound up with reds, browns, and "maroons" from TTC, more disappointed I got 3 varieties of 3 pin switches.
Has anyone tried the "maroons"?

Are you sure about OEM profile? Looks MSA to me, I have it in opposite colours.

Thanks! If you have any questions about config, don't hesitate to ask. I found it pretty doable using Vial.

I, uh... "borrowed" the art from various places around the internet and hand cropped/edited them myself. See my reply to the automoderator comment for the vendor who helped me bring them to life!

The LED thing, I think, is not possible with Vial, but I'm not sure. I think you can definitely do the layers thing. In Vial, each knob's + and - action is configurable, including layer switch. Definitely possible!

I was also considering the Nk87 olive at that price. I’m too new to know if it’s as good of a deal as I feel like it is though!

Reply to I tried some silent switches recently and I was quite surprised by which one was the quietest by Paraless
Gateron Aliaz switches are extremely quiet as well.
The bump on them has a bit of pre-travel, then crosses the bump, and increases in weight as it approaches bottom out.
By contrast, my Zeal Zilents, drop off the bump almost immediately, and decrease in weight as they approach bottom out.
That feels better to me, but is a bit louder than the Aliaz switches, although still very quiet.
I run both of those with Gateron White springs in them, to lighten them up to 35g.

honestly man, im an uber noob so i just did all the things haha. it might have been overkill. the tactility is great imo, but i have little to compare it to. its very smooth feeling, has a nice round bump. it feels like a nice even soft pop more than the crumply feeling of the brown switches i had before.

You asked them to make a cable that their configuration clearly states they don’t do. Hence the minimum length. This comes off as trying to call out cablemod for not doing something they don’t do anyway.
