You have weird tastes in keyboards.

Here's to hoping the Leopolds are selamat and sejahtera
@cyclone, my spacebars are brown, just like the rest of the keyboard.

Like that cost of the leopold gonna add a lot from the original price leh.
Siao meh

If he is referring to QC, yes, it is possible that FILCOs may have better QCs than say, PLUs or Duckies (stupid LEDs), but if he is referring to Cherry choosing to sell lower grade switches, then that is doubtful. Maybe Diatec tells him so, then it must be true . Although, there has been doubts on the Cherry picked Cherry Blue switches on the Razer BW.

He's just doing the typical marketing talk. You know, the typical "My stuff is the best or among the best in the whole wide world" kinda talk. Can't blame him for that.
Have you ever meet a salesman that says "Don't buy my stuff, they suck, you can get cheaper stuff there". Leave him be

Hey Mr. elite, you gonna make your keyboard elite too or you gonna use them gaming bling bling keyboards?
Or you already have one?

The LCDs, I might be talking out of what I know anyway, but since you need all these monitoring done, why not get a 6" or 7" extended LCD, would that suit your needs for your extreme monitoring?
Oh btw, I'm too cheap to upgrade my fans and rams and cooling once I get them, and still stuck with the stock bling blings.

Alright, cutting the threadcrapping , and on to serious mode

Too bad you can't be bothered with them keyboards.
If you want the best money can buy, and not the overpriced crap like the Optimus or custom wood keyboards, consider the Happy Hacking Keyboard or the Topre Realforce.
Maybe you could try them out. In singapore it is a tad overpriced at $400 SGD but since you asked for the best money could buy thats the nearest place you can try. Or maybe you know some other people with the HHKB. That's what I think anyway. Maybe some other people consider the IBM Industrial Mini at $500 the best their money could buy for all I know.

Get the ducky with blanks with Cherry MX blues from PCHOME. Still RM30X shipped to Malaysia last time I checked.
Maybe you can learn your touch typing that way huh?

And....FILCOs are back again on you-know-where

FILCO AI??
The total comes up to be about RM420 for a full size N-key FILCO. For that price, I wonder if you just go to get from Moderno/CEX is better, since they come with warranty and the version-2 boards. Though most people can't tell the difference anyway

Thats the year of the Tiger edition. Moogle has that version

Touch typing does not mean not bottoming out.
The term for not bottoming out is ....not bottoming out.

Touch typing means not looking at the keyboard while you type.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch_typing

I can't fathom how touch typing means not bottoming out.

If it doesn't say, means it does not have it. Plus it comes with Chinese letterings, I'm not a big fan of those, although you could probably buy blank keycaps and mod it, but that step cost money.

Blues has a sharper tactile point than the Browns, but you can say that their feeling is quite close without the noise but they are not identical.

Nice video. It does sound really accurate too, which is kinda the most important part in videos like this.

@cyclone

Please add these.

@cyclone, sorry about that. Got it rectified.

Anyone went back to try their rubber domes to see how they suck? Mine really is awful. I can barely type without making a typo. The take so much force to actuate from a MX brown and the keys feel really cheap.

Lol a K120. That thing is so mushy, it feels like a RM10 keyboard
Though I don't understand why you don't want to game on your BW.

I put on my old Logitech for fun because i was eating on my table, and man, I couldn't say how awful it is.
Maybe I'll need to get a poker just for on the go situations.

On a side note, FILCOs are up on CZONE's price list. Price is same as Moderno.

Nuff said

Yuck, non ANSI placement of the right shift and the question marks. Bothers me a lot. Plus the BIGASS enter key.
I like my keyboards to be ANSI layout

Nobody but Moogle needs USB NKRO anyway

Tactile means that there is a bump when you press the key.
Normal rubber domes and scissor switch type keyboards do have these tactile feeling too.

As to cheapest Mech Keyboard, maybe you can tell us your budget? New or Used?
If you want really cheap, then try to obtain the Dell At101W with black ALPS for about RM70 shipped from Taobao
Or a IBM Model M for less than Rm100 from there too.

If you want it new with warranty, then the Razer Black Widow is a decent entry level keyboard.
Otherwise, try PCHOME and look at their range of Ducky keyboards where the cheapest at NT$2190 comes up to be about RM260 shipped
Another alternative is Inpad Taiwan which ships internationally and their cheapest Ducky board starts at NT$1990. As to the shipping charge, it is uncertain but the store contact seems very friendly and told me that they need to give a quote on shipping fees based on the weight. Which comes to be about NT$400 for Air Parcel if you are willing to wait 1-2 weeks for the keyboard to arrive or Roughly NT$700 via EMS which arrives in about 3 days after the item is shipped based on the shipping rates but the Taiwanese Postal Service

I bet the reaction is worse if you show them the Model M mini and their accompanying price.
