before deciding a keyboard, im curious over 7G. does it uses the cherry MX switch? since it didnt mention anywhere. and does it support n-key recognition? means it recognise every key no matter how many is pressed together?

yes, it use the Cherry MX black, non-clicky n non-tactile.

Key feel: Stiff and Linear
Tactile feel: None
that linear what does it mean? i can understand stiff keyboard but linear rclxub.gif
and tactile feel?

QUOTE(Everdying @ Nov 28 2009, 12:36 AM)
that one is the UK key layout...what we get here is the standard US layout everyone is familiar with.
speaking of UK and US key layout, is it all keyboard that comes into Malaysia follows US layout? cuz i recall seeing some logitech kb some with UK and some US layout being sold at the same time. (or maybe that was some time ago blush.gif)

QUOTE(Everdying @ Nov 28 2009, 01:09 AM)
first, if u want to rip-off a whole paragraph of someone else's review...at least put the source...dodging in UT eh...
secondly, for me the 7G keys are not stiff at all...i mean if it was really really stiff i wouldnt like to do lots of dodge jumps etc in UT.
no wonder the paragraphs look familiar. maybe i should look pass the fact that im looking for a blank-key mechanical keyboard and settle with 7G. cant seems to get any blank key keyboard in malaysia, or even if i were to ship internationally.

EDITED: just read bout some different switches, which ends up with click tactile, tactile feel, and also linear mechanical switch. anyone understand the differences?

i remember saitek had some in UK layout, cos for some reason those came out first here...then only US came in later.
but i dont see why ppl here would want UK layout...even the @ and " are terbalik.

Very nice introduction to mechanical keyboards. I read it before deciding to get the 7G and no regrets so far.  thumbup.gif

ya been refering to that page since i found it xP guess will have to stick to 7G unless willing to get some cherry keyboard from 99hk.biz. maybe i can peel off the key to make it blank key? from your 7G review it seems like those key printing is easy to be peeled off? laugh.gif brows.gif

thanks jay for the lengthy feel explanation of 7G biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

7G sounds really good biggrin.gif maybe i dont need a reason to try other cherry switches after all rclxub.gif

seriously if its a lil cheaper i'll get it now. guess i'll just wait for 6Gv2 to come out.

@Edifier: any idea when 6Gv2 will be out? it says Q2 2010 but Q2 is sooo long april-june, cant wait tongue.gif

is it worth buying?
thought of getting one SS IME 3.0  icon_question.gif
*
fake one? or even authentic, it's actually 100% same as normal IME 3.0 smile.gif
it's just the paint that is different, making it a collector's item.
had one authentic IMO 1.1 SS myself.

Went to check just now too, it's heavy cause of the mechanical keys and the metal chassis.

6Gv2 uses black cherry same as 7G right? but how come i see the outside of the box it shows a spring, kinda like spring bucket hmm hmm.gif

but the key is really soft to press thumbup.gif thumbup.gif
thought that black cherry should be stiffer, but maybe because never press blue and brown before blush.gif
