@Cyclone, ignore my PM

Put me in for PANIC! and X%&#! keys
Thanks

@Cyclone

Looking at the geekhack link you provided,

Seems like all novelty keys from pimpmykeyboard web site are no longer cherry mx compatible.

"UPDATE: As far as I can tell all "Pimpmykeyboard" novelty keys are no longer Cherry MX compatible. At least the batch I got from them Jan 2011 wasn't ."

Can you confirm?

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.

Maybe you should hold it till your Leopold arrives, and maybe more people will join then?
It's not that getting them late will do any harm to anyone?

EDIT: I might want to wait till your leopolds arrive and you send it one shot to me. Of course, i'll pay for the keycaps 1st

Well...I can wait until your leopold to be here.

Well since keycaps are light and relatively durable I think plain plastic bags would suffice, but that's just my opinion lol. Also cyclone, if there's still available slots can you please add one X%&#! keycap for me too?

me too! i would like to have both the "PANIC" and "X%&#!" LOL

Hopefully Banleong can?

@Cyclonechuah
The panic buttton is for? Ctrl?

how about this?

http://www.keycapsdirect.com/redesc.php

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

can you give me their email?

i want to ask about double shot white on blue normal keycaps

http://pimpmykeyboard.com/faq.php

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

Red switches are really not the switches for me. The layout of the filco is great. But the red switches. Urgh.

was is too light?

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.

Actually it is the fact. Even I change blue switch to brown, i cant feel the tactile on brown at all without the "klick" sound. But it is lighter than blue and brown feel like linear to me.

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/

no worries, u'll be bottoming up almost all the time.
