Mechanical keyboard looks stupid, plain and feature less.
But once you lay your finger on it, it's guaranteed a one way ticket into the bottomless world of mechanical keyboard.

Typing from laptop now, missing my keyboard ><
I think brown is already a bit too soft to me, red would be out of the question I guess..

Played too much FORTE piece on piano? instead of PIANO xD

Actually me working in a plastic injection industry, I talked to my supplier about those material, they are actually super cheap material.. It's remarkable that the price they fetch, offcourse the niche market haha

What is the possibility of doing 1 mold and sell it off xD, but 1 mold cost usually 5 to 6 figure, with the injection costing as much as that too.

PBT, ABS, POM are all very cheap material, the more expensive one is PC(depend of type of it too, usually we use it for clear material, hehe your Myvi headlamp lens is injection in my factory)

just a question, why are people getting the tenkeyless over the full keyboard?

Portable + price factor?

So the mold itself is the reason that makes the caps more expensive... sad.gif

Actually the mold for keyboard key is consider to be tiny in the industry.. Must be able to do a 100+ cavities mold, meaning each injection 100+ keys will drop out

How come no one do a clear keycaps shot? It must be interesting although it will be having less texture feeling than ordinary material, optical grade PC is way to go for being super tough and durable.

I am getting less bothered about the keycaps now since now my black on black printing I can hardly see anything under my living hall's yellow lighting.. touch typing has became a bother to a habit.

Actually razer shouldn't have problem with the switch I thought? Since they outsource from the same place as other keyboards. Unless they have a very bad mounting mechanism.

I blacklisted razer for their dying Krait on me, worse is when they think it's perfectly normal for a mouse to stop working after 13 months (12 months warranty period past). And I am not being the isolated case here. Other than marketing I dont see their strength in other area, being bling (which I hate), gaming peripheral (I use office production hardware due to their comfort nature), and useless feature (which they charge you sky high for it).

Currently I am so happy with my ducky 9008 that I feel like finding something type everyday. I would buy additional keyboard to serve for my other desktop but due to the steep price is better to buy it later (maybe I won't be able to hold that when Cherry Red Keyboards are around).

My parents eyes were rolling when they help me to carry the RM400+ ducky keyboard from Singapore. As well as my relatives and uncle aunties, cant explain what is so special about my keyboard. Just tell them it's like a mechanical watch vs a electrical watch!

Try to widen it up again? brows.gif
Ducky 1008 should be a good choice too for full size kb yet below RM300(import). It come with NKRO, mix choice of switch and 4 extra keys(calculator) which is quite worth to get.
By putting other switch choice and macro in i am willing to pay RM600(or double of what BWU cost) for it. sweat.gif

Haha the only strong point BWU have is the macro, minus it's just another Razer Marketing Product, off course it's the most affordable and available mechanical keyboard now.

QUOTE(evofantasy @ Jan 24 2011, 04:21 PM)
kinda worried about the warranty etc if imported though...
besides never imported anything before =(
*
It's not really expensive for something that is build to last forever (almost), just ask seller to test before deliver since the worse thing is DOA . Warranty wise mostly you would have void it with many weird mods most people here did with.


p/s: can we have LYN Mechanical Keyboard Gathering for a start? I believe it will serve as a dark hole to attract many into never ending side.
