If Apple had a Mechanical keyboard, it will sure cost a bomb. But I think it should be a pretty good keyboard.

ALPS switches

Pretty good price on ebay compared to current breed of Apple Wireless Keyboards

i see i see. Blue switches seems to be fine. They have clicky sounds compare to browns.

planning to order some aluminium keycaps from scarface from korea, hope it's possible.

1 keycaps = 6 USD.

honestly i dont think it's worth it

@Cyclonechuah
i interesting on the aluminiun keycaps too... can let me join?

Lol isn't aluminium a little overkill?

I can't imagine spamming on aluminium keycap when playing o2jam... my finger are gonna pain like hell =.=

lol.. i really want try use it to play note game... want try the feel....

well, depends on how people look at those keycaps.

Sure, i'll let you know once i got any information. maybe i'll set up bulk order or something.

well, i'm not replacing entire keyboard keycaps with aluminium. just the ESC and WASD, since they are frequently use in every game, it's better that way.

if you gonna say overkill, it would be titanium keycaps, those Keycaps are godlike with price tag of 18$ USD per key, and spacebar cost 100$ USD

dude... replacing keycaps does not make the key to be harder, so it doesn't makes your finger suffer pain issue.

But it does reduce the force require to press the key, so the key with aluminium key caps are much softer instead.(because it's heavier.)

note game? you want buy certain keys or full set? the aluminium key doesn't have full sets thou. it has small keycaps, but not the one like spacebar, ctrl, alt, shift, backspace, enter, sinc maker doesn't have the molding for creating those large key and making a custom molding cost ALOT.

guys, how often do u guys do maintanance/ clean ur keyboard?

i just need 6-8 only... titanium? got any photo can show?

Aluminium eh? Got link? I might wanna get some as well.

Does he only have the printed keys for WASD and ESC?

the keycaps height is?

What do you mean printed keys ?
what i do know is that, he doesn't have the custom mold to do large key like CTRL, Enter, Spacebar, Shift, Backspace. pretty much every key that is larger than those normal size.

Check the link above, the picture probably gonna explain everything that you wanted to know.

Keycaps height? not sure, but i think it follows Cherry's keycap Dimension.

Ou well, i might as well post the picture here.

haha... i just want the Q row height keycaps...

I mean like he just showed blank keycaps and apparently has keycaps printed for WASD and ESC keys. Was asking if he has printed keycaps other than WASD and ESC.

Metal Keycaps don't have printed fonts, and this guy is doing this alone, not some keycap manufacturer.

But it's possible to have engraving font to them, but requires alot of work.
