QUOTE(ZainRain @ Jun 15 2011, 01:33 AM) Oh well.. i got the confirmation on the keyboard.. they said that the keyboard is the problem.. they give me the option either wanted to send back the keyboard to them.. or.. they will wanted to send the keyboard control(idk what did they mean).. so i can try it out.. i cant figure out anything.. and i cant even open the keyboards since it is under warranty.. if i open up the waranty will be void.. right now my only option is to send it back.. i nvr do that.. can someone advice me on this matter in term of courier.. bit of headache here.. cos im the unlucky ducky user.. the item didnt even pass a month.. ur advise will be much appreciate.. the option for ducky warranty is they send you the replacement part, and you have to replace it on your own.

Basically resoldering a new controller into it. The controller is sufrace mount type, so I reckon it is quite challenging to solder it on. Maybe you can pay someone to do it.

yeah.. the soldering part is hard to do and too risky for myself to do it. I might damage all the other component of the keyboard. I think i will be courier it back for an exchange

just send it back for an exchange. If you dont have the confidence and knowledge to solder the controller then it might short circuit the board if anything goes wrong..  but if you a fighter or adventurer, you will wanna do it yourself.. pandai pandai la.. haha..

Sending a parcel that is 2KG to china cost RM62.40 so says the pos malaysia website. You can insure it at Rm1.50 per Rm100 value of your item, so shipping it back cost about RM70~ Shipping it back via agent is another RM40?
For that price of RM100, minus some for the postage fees to ship the controller to Malaysia, you could probably save some time and money by paying someone else to solder it for you, as another option. But since you insist on sending it back, then get the item insured, and it should be alright, though Pos Malaysia + China Post might end up taking a rather long time

Since you're targeting the Cherry Brown switches, why don't you opt for the Filco locally instead? Furthermore you could get local warranty as well, so anything goes wrong you can straight away send back to the shop, you don't wan your self to get into the situation like ZainRain facing right? Unless you wanted the 1x 2x 4x 8x features. :S This post has been edited by kEazYc: Jun 15 2011, 01:41 PM

I think both Zowie Celeritas and Filco are at the same price, given if you import the Zowie from other country, including the import fee/blabla, but you minus the advantage of the warranty.
So in the end, Filco still the best choice.
Current Filco Majestouch 104 key priced at RM429, and i believe you can ask for better price from that.
Or you might want to wait for Cyclone or was it storm88 to bring it the duckies.
