Filco and Leopold Mechanical Keyboard is coming to malaysia in April, with local warranty.

So i think you should wait for Filco and Leopold to arrive, since they are much cheaper by then.


read above

but it's not double shot
8USD for a pad printed key? sorry but not worth it.

Between all Cherry MX Switches, Cherry MX Blue has the highest RMA rate.

No offense to Razer, but from what i learn from few keyboard manufacturer staff, Razer purchase refurbish cherry MX Blue from other manufacturer which is not directly from Cherry. Cherry -> New Switch -> Manufacturer -> RMA -> Refurbish -> Razer.

do noted they have the cheapest blue switch around, so you can actually understand the quality issue of each switch having different sound.

sorry, edited my post to give better explanation.

They are still from Cherry, just that, is a refurbished switch "not directly new from Cherry"

I'm sorry to tell you that Mechanical Keyboard doesn't have Macro functions.

Well, they do have, Gigabyte and Razer, These have Macro functions, but for your budget, each of the keyboard is RM280 above, which i don't think you can get with RM250 budget.

For Macros, I'm also a macro user, but i only use macros on the mouse and use a mechanical keyboard instead. so all my macros are relying on my mouse, my keyboard is for NKRO function because of FPS game. but i do play MMORPG, and RTS and other genre of the game, it's just that, sometimes, FPS games, you need to duck, see score, report, reload and jump. that is rare occasion. but when you do it one day with non NKRO keyboard, just hope you won't meet a enemy while you're doing so.

each keycap cost $1.50 USD, so here it's roughly RM4.50 per key caps. Shipping from them to Malaysia is $5.50 USD(will be share among users that join with this purchase) Keycaps Order Max Quantity is 15.

Anyone joining? i'm buying a few PANIC and X%&#! Keycaps, Maybe total of 2~5 Keys. So.. there's 10 key left for you guys.

So... for me. i am still considering about buying few extra.

Do note only PANIC! and X%&#! Keycaps are Compatible with Cherry MX, other Keys are not compatible with Cherry MX.

oh shit (blue)

Because oh shit and damn it will not be able to installed into Cherry MX Switch.
Look at this picture, you'll understand why it cannot fit into Cherry MX Switch.

Picture Provided By Ripster. Source : http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:9617
The above Orange Key is Cherry MX Switch Keycap. while the key below aren't.

you can see why it cannot be fit into Cherry Mx Switch, but Ripster provided how to mod them into Cherry MX Switch Compatible, requires alot of work thou.

Noted

Yeah, too bad, i was getting Oh Shit. and then them a pm. found out only X%&#! and PANIC are the only one that can fix into Cherry Mx Switch. Sad.

i already send them a email, and they reply me.
so i can confirm PANIC and X%&#! Key cap are Cherry Mx Compatible.

Okay, so now i'm quite screwed at a moment, i myself is thinking about buying more key caps myself, and now already surpass 15 limit HAHAHAHA.
Anyway, i'm going to send them a email again inquiry about shipping cost above 15 keycaps, if the shipping cost is still cheap, we'll continue the order.
If Shipping cost is significantly higher, i guess we'll have to stick with 15 keycaps limit.

Since now 7 people will be sharing the shipping cost, so i think it will be affordable to everyone.

Btw let's proceed with the courier, once it reached my place, what kind of Courier service you guys would wanted to use ?
Courier Service Available in my place : PosLaju, Kangaroo, Nationwide Express, Skynet.
But i do hope all will stick with one service so i can do everything in one go.

And also the packing, you guys wanted the keycaps to be packaged in a plain plastic bag? or paper box? not sure small size paper box cost how much thou.
Current Shipping Cost $5.50 USD from Pimpmykeyboard.com to Malaysia.(15 Keycaps Limit)


Edited : Order List has been moved to latest post.

i got few bubblewarps. so i think it's possible i'll wrap it with bubble wrap, and send in a plastic bag.

noted, but please wait while i wait for their reply.


well, considering letter is the cheapest, and only place with letter, and not with heavy chunks of courier being throw on top of the keycaps. i think it's a alternative, plus it's cheaper LOL


Well, yeah, some scare the small box being place on below stack by some heavy monster box, then GG keycaps.

hmm, i'll go poslaju to spy the price first. will find the cheapest and the fastest.

nope, there's no key for CTRL, they are mostly for ESC WASD. since their size are small size, and CTRL is consider medium size.

errr, they are too plain, we're looking for something that make people think "wtf!?" when they saw your keyboard

http://pimpmykeyboard.com/faq.php

it's on this page. see the "Contact Us For More Information"

i have a feeling that most people that got used to blue switch will not really like red and black switch.

since they are used to "Switch" Feeling, like when you press a Switch, there's switch sound, Klick, and slightly bump to make you feel like you're pressing a switch.

Black has no bump and no sound, that may make user feel awkward when they change from blue switch to black switch. not to mention Red. they are super duper light switch. you feel like you're pressing something really soft without the needed force to press a black.

Well, that's my imagination.

i have a very bad feeling that i may be end up bottoming up all the key on Cherry MX red switches. My room is gonna be noisy for a while when i receive my Leopold FC300R. CLACK CLACK CLACK key bottoming out LOL.

Currently now i'm touch typing using black switch. using quick tapping method, let the key bounce my finger back up and continue to pressing another key. well, this method make my finger less tired by using this. since the force is enough to stop itself from bottoming up and bounce my finger back. i feel very good in typing with black switch. typing 100 words per minutes with http://speedtest.10-fast-fingers.com/

In the website, Keycap for them are listed USD $1.50 which is roughtly RM5 if you guys wanted to know the price.

Do i organize sales now? NO. For now? RESEARCHING PURPOSE, anyone that are interested send me a pm. I`ll provide more information in reply. Bulk Order Thread will be created by then. All list will be kept in my notepad, for previous user that order keycaps are being recorded. i'll inform all users with pm once Bulk Order Thread has been open by then.

it is laser etched.

Warning : That is only works for PCB mounted Board, which is Cherry Keyboard.

Do not try this on Filco, Steelseries, Ducky, Razer they are steel/aluminum plated Mounted and they do requires soldering.

Again, Do not try this because it will break the switch if your keyboard is steel/aluminum plated.

well, i don't think this would have any use for NKRO thou. only two hands and ctrl are being use. but dang this game is hard LOL.

@mr.pudding, do you mean mechanical cherry MX switches? you can get via taobao or any other website.

Added, enjoy the keyboard!

Btw, did you get the black on black key caps? to be honest, i have one set as well. But for quality comparison, The quality on the Key caps between on Keyboard and another free key cap set has difference. Keyboard Key caps has higher quality, and silk screen printing has some minor difference which can be notice able.

For your knowledge, 6Gv2 is a mechanical Keyboard as well .

Do remember the warranty doesn't cover in Malaysia, so if anything happens to the keyboard. It will be a big problem. But so far, there's no one suffer any issue here, so i think it's good until now. Hope no people is unlucky enough

Still you can wait for Mechanical Keyboard to be available here. if you prefer to have warranty and easier to claim warranty from local stores and distributors.

Hello, guys, i need to collect information to list people that are interested in Leopold Keyboard FC300R which is Otaku version/Legendless(blank keycap)

These are available, and they could produce such keyboard. but would require special order. Do remember the price doesn't change. it's just that, if you want blank keycap, you have to specify.

I'll announce by then, currently now, i still don't have much info for them.
