Did someone call me?

Moogle, apparently you do not put all those weird smiley faces after each sentences here while posting in the Lowyat forums. I gotta say this makes everything much more readable, say as compared to having to guess your intonation and expression while writing the sentences on GH.

Yes, I have tried most of the major mechanical keyswitch that are currently available except the Cherry Blue clicky (extensively). Within the short period of testing it, I got to say that my favourite keyswitch is still the Topre keyswitch. Smooth tactile bump and deeply satisfying tactile feedback - as loud as you want or as soft as needed.

In ranking for number 1:

For finger-training sessions, nothing beats the old IBM buckling switches.
For finger-pampering and ear-soothing sessions, the Topre comes forward.

Other than that, I have the brown cherry for most of the other usage.

I agree. Because at the Topres price point, it's better to start out small first before paying gobs of cash for a Topre.

I'm still skeptical about whether it's worth the money for a Topre at this point

Interesting. Your from Malaysia i take it ? Mind if i ask whereabouts roughly So want me to add you to the club ? Just list your kbs and i'll add you.



An explanation why some gamers find blue cherry switches not ideal for gaming.

As explained from the diagram, we can know the hysteresis definitely will cause it to be very hard to spam.

So storm88 is bringing in Filco keyboards ?

Should be



Filco is quite a premium keyboard. It would be a great choice if your looking for something other than Cherry Mx Black switches, also something cheaper than a Steelseries 7G but not be inferior in any way.

Well using crappy membrane keyboard I can only have an avg WPM of 120. It would definitely make a difference if I used a mechanical keyboard.

Maybe, maybe not. Membrane keyboards aren't bad at WPMs. It's just that mechanical keyboards feel much nicer to type on. Maybe the less errors on mechanical keyboards will give you an edge in typing, but I don't think it will be as much as an increase of 30WPM.

120WPM is still crazily fast btw. It's for advanced typists. Can go record court proceedings already.

I've checked all of storm88's post. He didn't mention a specific date.

I'm just asking to see if any people did manage to ask him personally.

From the bar chart, ducky 9008 seems abit more popular than 7G.

Anyway, satisfied with my 7G.

@D.Sync
120wpm is fast enough already, i played the typing challenge in facebook average is about 90+ wpm only. 1 more thing i can tell you is i use normal keyboard and 7G to type, both my laptop membrane keyboard and 7G almost the same only, no make any different. Definitely better typing experience and feel nice but not really improve the wpm a lot.

Because mine is 7G which using mx black switches that totally no click, now hate to type with membrane keyboard a lot, very uncomfortable with it.

We'll Bring Diatec's product, not only Filco

Sorry, didn't read the earlier posts;

Anyway, how will the keyboards be sold? COD or through retail shops?

This post has been edited by alcy: Nov 10 2010, 02:26 AM

YA, I wondering as well. Diatec itself will come into Malaysia or only will sell it online-ly through some distributor?

i just realize most of Moogle Stiltzkin post has ducky in them ...

Yeah cause i believe the Filco and Ducky 9008 are good alternatives to the Steelseries 7G which cost more.

Anyway here are some pictures of the Ducky 9008 PBT variant
http://bbs.kbc-china.com/thread-4085-1-1.html



However the one in the screenshot is some special edition that has black,brown and blues switches on the keyboard :/ But i suspect the one i ordered, just browns with a black spacebar, has the exact same keycaps as shown in that threads screenshots.

Here's my list:
ACER 6311-HU Keyboard ALPS switch.(has used for 13 years)
Steelseries 7G Keyboard Cherry MX Black.(Usage nearly 1 year)
Ducky 9008 Black On Black Switch Cherry MX Black.(Will arrive in 19th in singapore, possibly getting it on 23rd)
