You can buy a Model M. I bet 99% of the people in your office won't want to steal something so ancient and useless(to them)

If you want to use Cherry ML switches, there are plenty of alternatives out there.
If you want to show off, its better if you buy a nicer car than buy a nicer keyboard. People will think your are ForeverAlone.jpg

The poker weighs 500g, can consider for daily travelling keyboard?

Make sure to replace it with black on blacks or Blanks, that increases the 1337ness factor
Do ask around when you gonna buy. I bet people will wanna join

Maybe you want to get the HHKB as well?
That's surely going to attract more attention

Yes thats me.
I got mine from.........


You can read the wiki on GH on it. Says the pros and cons of each type of adapters. The blue cube appears to be the best

Whats the prize? Too bad Asus don't make mechanical keyboards.
Maybe they came to their senses and give the winners Topres

Then I guess you can try eBay. I bought that thing 2 years ago. Maybe you can ask people around GS, like ngbh about it

These are great prizes, but sadly i can't type that much faster than everyone else or accurately.
Maybe you should train with MX blacks/BS and whack away the keyboard with scissor switches at the competition.

My Model M just arrived, and this baby is loud, definitely louder than MX blues.
I'm afraid my roomate will kill me if he hears more of this. He is trying to finish his report.

I do really hope you bring them in by early May. These delays makes those FILCOs from taobao looks juicy.

@rockccf, does the 6gv2 you have have a nonstandard right shift key?

FILCOs looks juicy because they are cheaper than what is offered by edifier and gang. I understand there's some difference between majestouch 1 and 2 but people who have them both cant really tell the difference.

@rockccf
yes I am referring to the shorter right shift key. It annoys the heck of of me.

You only need a switch try board. It makes you want to get all the switches to try.


After trying the Model M for few days, now I've got some stronger fingers . This things feels like whacking on a empty can for each keypress. It is that loud.

The blacks felt easy to press on.
The clears felt a bit mushy since the tactile point is long, but i still want to try
The browns now feel more linear than they used to be, but the slight tactile bump is still near
The reds feel very very soft
The Blues, now I know why Cherry decide to make them blues. They are trying to mimick the BS switch. The Blues felt like less tactile and less clicky BS switches. But compared to BS switch, they dont make such a huge racket when you are typing.

Now I don't know what switch to get next. Maybe a Blue Switch.

I have to correct myself, the Blues are more tactile than the BS, but somehow the BS feels better to type on.

I'm good for now

@storm88
Those post gonna be deleted as soon as mods see them, so this thread is not going to be messed up anyway

Yeap he's gonna. Just that you gotta be patient about it.
One man show business is very the susah

This compact enough for you?

Finally some real update on the Leopolds

Looks like FILCOs may be back on PCHOME, just that when I click on the link, it does not respond

EDT: Yep, its up. NT$3690 for N-key brown

This post has been edited by kaiserreich: Apr 23 2011, 06:11 PM

OK now this is insane

DK-9008 going for NT$2590

This is insane. This is ridiculous. Dammit which one to get

EDIT: probably stock clearance for the G2 Duckies to come in. But at this price, FR4 and NKRO don't really matter to me anyway
