I no money for the o2jam subscription :{

Also... to be honest i'm not really good with that game 
O2JAM requires 6-7 keys to depress at times for either short taps, or long presses. Meaning your going to need NRKO if your a serious o2jam player

Currently typing on a SteelSeries 7G. In love with Mechanical Keyboards. Love the feel while typing, just doesnt feel the same when I type on my sister's lycosa. Also, getting a BlackWidow soon, courtesy of Razer. Muahahaha.

Nope. I'm currently a DotA editor at GosuGamers.net I helped some of the Razer people to get some things done. So they said they gonna send me one. Woot.

Well USB is 6KRO sometimes. However some even have 2KRO. So i strongly suggest people check what the keyboard their getting as, since 2KRO may be too little for a gamer. 6KRO may suffice.

NKRO is the best meaning no worry. NKRO can be achieved using PS2 for the most part. The Ducky i am getting is native USB, however using a USB to PS2 adapter i can get NKRO :} My motherboard has PS2 interface so i will use that for games like O2Jam, but for everything else i will use usb for convenience sake plug and play.

There is a new tech called NKRO Pro which allows NKRO using USB without PS2 at all. Seems Irocks and Plum mechanical keyboard have it :/
Wow thats awesome. Congratz man 

Steelseries 7g here but im craving for cherry browns!

Don't laugh. I'm still using a Logitech rubber dome keyboard too, until my Ducky arrives next month 

For my own price range, i think Ducky or Filco are good for gaming/typing. Both brands have a choice of blue, brown or black cherry switches; which you get depends on your own preference. These 2 recommendations are roughly RM 450 ish.

Of if you prefer, the BW sells for around RM 390 or something; but uses blue cherry switches if you don't mind ?
yeah, i prefer to go into detail to debunk any misunderstandings. I don't know if he was trolling or honestly misunderstood about the deck and ducky. To give the benefit of a doubt, i try to enlighten instead    I don't force people to take what i say literaly true, as i do encourage them to study the facts through other channels themselves 
Anyway lycosa and arctosa are rubber dome keyboards That is not to say they aren't gaming keyboard, but they aren't mechanical so yeah.... Some people don't mind rubber dome kbs, while others do. There is no right or wrong answer, but since this thread is mostly for those who are particular about the quality of their kb, be it build or performance, it's reasonable to say that it matters to most of the people in this thread  that their keyboards are mechanical by nature :} And yes there are gaming mechanical keyboards even if some of them lack led aesthetics or macros features.
Here is a utube video for the razer bw. Someone more knowledgeable than me thinks that the leds are sufficiently bright. So i guess they wont be a lack luster experience like the Logitech G15 V1 i own and felt was very dim.

to me, i guess what he meant isnt about the technicality or the quality. no doubt that its good, but i think what he meant was about the finishing.
finishing of the product is always important, and personally, in my own opinion, not saying that its correct, the brands you mentioned lack somewhat that finishing that makes the product looks high quality and candy to the eye.
which to any casual customer, would prefer to get something else that looks great, and functionality later.  for an example, razer blackwidow. about its performance, lets judge later when its released and in front of our doorstep.
no point dissing them, hope razer would raise their quality, i would certainly pay extensively if the product's overall is awesome on the inside and outside.
just my 2 cents. =)

He doesn't. Everything he says, he doesn't have much factual info to backup his claims.

He is a troll trying to evoke a response just for the lulz 

motive ?

razer bw expert edition is really tempting. but i really want a board that has a nice big palm rest like 7g and sidewinder x6.
filco leather palm rest cost a bomb. =(

I see.. so i guess there's no best of everything.
Mechanical wireless with backlight doesnt seems to be on the market yet.

Though i heard some mechanical already have wireless.
I've not touched one before but from the way it's design, it shud feel quite different from normal keyboards.

I've always liked Illuminated backlight keyboards , works kind of cool when i'm watchin movies with my lights off. I could juz type without switchin on my lights to search for my keys.

Guess i'll stick to logitech illuminated... I don't really hit my keys vigorously so i guess it shud be fine.

Razer failed on me 3 times and I don't dis them. 

AHAH..
I'm in the mid of disucssing bring in Falco into MY

would there be supporter here?
btw, base on the Experience i have here, jus would to quote alittlebit

Gaming Keyboard is hard to determine. Some people claim Mechanical is Gaming. While some not mechanical they claim them gaming as well.
As someone here mentioned, It depend on how the marketing team of the company definie their product.

for me i define cherry keyboards as : SEMI GAMING, SEMI PRO USER. That's all

Problem with rubber dome, sometimes you have issue, that you press one key, another key is registered instead.

You don't have this problem with mechanical because each key has it's own switch.

Some good mechanical keyboards also have gold cross points. Also remember with the many different switches, you got good ones for gaming such as black which is linear, or if you want much lighter there is red. I honestly doubt rubber dome can compare to it in terms of reaction time, low resistance, and accuracy

Anyway here a video of O2Jam youtube

@storm88

Do you mean Filco ? 

RM 320 for a filco, not bad. Might bet some cherry browns if I got the cash, probably in 2 years time =( unless I sell my 7g

i mean, i TRYING to make it MSRP RM320 la. Definately without Nkey la. if with nkey at RM320, i think i doing charity already
haven't decide. now they hav green, blue, brown, and black (MX)

Might will skip the blueswitch, as the sample on hand gave me the feeling of : BLUE SWITCH IS DAMM NOISY

Green switch?
type of the switch avail by Cherry Mac Kbs.
they have Green, black(or call MX) blue and brown. difference between them i not very clear yet had to ask the user here if they ever try each of them before

that arm rest will cost RM150+/-
you sure you want ka?

Im surprised to hear that some keyboards can't play O2 jam. My previous Samsung RM 20 keyboard played O2 jam with no problem.
I though most keyboards have their sdfjkl and spacebar wired different so no issues there.

Actually I dislike playing O2jam on a mechanical, the sound of the keyboard gets too loud when Im spamming keys =P

the most cheapo keyboard if not mistaken is 3~4 kro. i ever encounter in some songs which need to press more than 3 keys at a same time caused me miss in the game...

The filco armrest made by Cow leather. Anyhow RM150 is just an estimation. all info provided here is not Confirmed, as the deal not yet on.

btw, managed to source some info regarding green switch or called green axis switch.

i never own any razer kb. jus their mouse.
recently quality realli scared me away and now i use the old diamondback, which still hold strong

Eh… The Filco one actually quite sucks inside

The Ducky comes wrapped in a velvet pouch and includes a free white WASD and key puller set.

The Filco has nothing, just a plastic shell covering the top of the keyboard, and one little USB/PS2 converter.

No, the Filco one is not worth it at that price.

The so called leather they use is the same type that is on the Ducky. The type of cheap thin leather that you find on bibles and other religious books. Not the nice thick leather that you find on wallets and shoes.

Dear all,
Anyone know where I can get a G15 keyboard? Seems that it has been sold out recently.

If anyone has one to sell/supplying (brand new please) kindly pm me

Thanks
