They don't seem to sell cheap mechanical keyboards here like the Scorpius and Adesso?

Any other cheap Cherry Blue mechanical keyboards selling here?

This?

I personally can't wait to try out Razer Black Widow lol, does anybody know what kind of keycaps are they using?

Nice keyboard there!

Where you got it? At what price?

Yeah, even 7G is using Cherry Black. Does it use Pad Printing or some other ways?

No kidding, 200$ for a PBT laser etched version, that's RM620 converted!

Now, somewhere between 300-400 bucks would be more reasonable I guess.

Added on October 21, 2010, 6:41 pmCome to think about it, ABS caps are 50% cheaper, and what are their downsides? Gets shiny over time only?

Thanks for the link, interesting read.

Though some people prefer ABS because they're tried and tested with Model M, but PBT should be better in theory.

The Ducky order in VR Zone, the currency is in SGD or USD? Got caught off guard there, forgot those are singaporeans and their signs are the same

Great! SGD! Now the laser etched PBT will cost about 500 bucks, around 530 if including shipping and transaction fee. Still expensive by any standard but definitely worth a consideration.

I'm not planning to buy one now anyway, gotta save money till next year.

Off topic, but does anybody know how to change Firefox browser's default chinese font to the ones we get back in school exams, you know fuller characters instead of these skinny ones. Really hurt my reading speed and eyes when reading those chinese fonts.

While on topic, Filco keyboards seem pretty standard but the downside is that they use Pad Printing keys, no extra buttons and I don't see them selling here in Malaysia. So I think the price will be the same, if not more expensive than Ducky's?

Look here : http://www.clearchinese.com/resources/fonts.htm

I prefer fonts like 汉鼎简楷体.

Meanwhile, does anybody know anybody selling the Scorpius M10, seems nice and cheap. Though reportedly there are quality issues but I heard it was resolved in the newer batches.

Seems like it is a decent keyboard, but doesn't have that 'special' feel to it. I have time to make my decision so I plan to wait till Razer BW is here, get a try how a cherry blue feels like, then proceed to buy the keyboard that suits me best.

Frankly I don't feel secure buying a few hundred bucks item without even a hinch how it feels.

Seems like Filco has a slightly better overall typing quality but Ducky has extra qualities to consider like Function keys, price, key caps. I heard nobody knows Filco's key caps material, PBT or ABS.

Funny thing is, I'm at around 80-100WPM with my rubber dome Logitech Internet Pro keyboard.

Wonder what wonders will the mechanical keyboard give me... hmmm...

I don't think it will increase my WPM that much but it certainly does help in the feel and comfort department. I definitely HATE the Shift key on my keyboard.
Btw, the S,N and M key are 100% gone after 4 years of use. The K,A,L are coming off soon too. Almost all of my alphabet keys and the spacebar are now shiny.
