i'll be available to participate in gathering on april, along with few samples of leopold product as well as i''ll be bring few Cherry MX switchs so people can have a look at the actual switch itself.

you should have purchase grey switch, those are like super rare switch

maybe after you do it, we can organize a gathering so we can take a look and try out zowie keyboard XD

Wow, Dragon Age II Collector's Edition!.

no offence, but i ain't touching that. should cost like a bomb with the same quality as the normal one. =/

actually, LED cannot stand continuously on and off abuse, they will die alot sooner, as well as changing light brightness to dimm, they just cannot stand of those.

you can understand this fact by observing traffic light. Those with Numbers Digit Die faster than those Red Yellow Green.

FC300R/FC500R is out, do the won conversion, same price as with the tenkeyless version, expecting between RM300~350

Thru Taobao Agent.

Shipping to Malaysia RM50+ above, Courier Fee from Taobao Agent to your house RM10+, Taobao Agent Tax service 10~15% price.

RM200, should have few ringgit changes left.

if you're worried about this, maybe next time if you travel to taiping, you can come to my location to test all the switches before you confirm your purchase.

so, i'll welcome you if you come, hahaha, everyone can come if they are free, provided if i have stock first LOL.

you sure? it's above RM500, but if you do really purchase it, please supply pictures to let us see, if possible. join gatherings to let us look at the keyboard!


Lew999999, miniguru project already stopped, he decided to release mini kit instead of the miniguru keyboard.

there's a good duplication Keyboard called KCB Poker. And It's has Cherry MX Red Choice TOO!!

yeap, the size of HHKB, but only third of the price, consider it's very cheap!

calculating my budget... currently now... no money!

planning to sell my 7G now, because currently using Ducky DK9008, and Steelseries 7G is collecting dust.

maybe i'll sell the 7G and get the money to get this awesome small size keyboard for my traveling purpose!

KBC China is one of the custom key cap manufacturer and they are experienced, trust me. Mechanical Keyboard has existed in China long time ago, and Cherry MX manufacturer and Cherry Company are located in China.

You can't really based on other made in china product to compare with China Mechanical Keyboard.

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

1 keycaps = 6 USD.

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.

This link shows to Aluminium Keycaps.

For Titanium, i only have the spacebar picture which cost 100$ per spacebar =_=



Edit : Added another crazy Titanium Keycap picture.

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.

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.

well, they are my idol, but it's impossible for us to invest with such limited budget.

I actually already shitbrick couples of times watching their modification.

IF my keyboard business is successful, i'll try to purchase sandblast machine as well as a invest myself building a CNC Mill project for future custom keycaps. wish me luck by then
