cyclone,

possible to add the bulk order for the "PANIC" switch?

too bad ctrl key is a different order already
else it would be great for COD cuz ctrl key is the real panic key when too much bullets flying towards you and you can crawl for temporary evasion

Bought some Cherry MX switches from taobao. Black, Red, Blue, Brown, Clear
Going to do some switch try since this is the only way i can tell which switch suits me.
Want suggest what do I do with it once I try them?

Thinking of buying this

and then solder them in or something but not now

Seller told me he can arrange for shipping to Malaysia

You mean the keypad? Not yet. Though there no difference in the shipping cost

For switches, I have told seller to put on hold

here's the link if you have not got it already

Trying to keep the order under 1KG. So unless it is switches, I don't think I wanna let anyone join

what keyboard is good for SC2?

Anything regarding sales are disallowed here. Please use the PM box instead.

This has been discussed many times before in the v1 thread. A good place to start would be here. Also you can try searching for the v1 thread.

Anyway in the nutshell, all switches are "suitable" for playing Starcraft II, since it all depends on personal preference. For instance, pROScrubbie, our gosu LYN Toss uses Ducky Blue switches, which has a tactile bump and a "click". Many people say that It's not suitable because it makes double tapping harder but Scrubbie's fine with it. Fruitdealer uses Filco Brown switches which is arguably the most commonly used switches for Starcraft II players.

Or you guys can start a new topic in Bulk Orders section where it is more appropriate if there's a need to keep track of the buyers etc.

http://forum.lowyat.net/BulkOrders

It comes to the same thing. This section is purely for discussion and not for sale purposes. There is something called PM function + it's mainly consist of you guys getting it, not others and why bother with unable to get crews to join it?

@cyclonechuah about the leopolds that you are bringing in, what type of keycaps does it use? laser etched or double shot?

funny, i rmbed i posted this few hours ago, it just disappeared.... >.>

so now the big topic here is:

Arrival of Leopold...
Arrival of Filco
Bulking of Custom Keycaps...

Interested in all three...

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.

So guys, I haven't been keeping up with the mechanical keyboard scene for quite a while now...

Is Razer Blackwidow still the cheapest Cherry MX Blue keyboard available in the Malaysian market?

Yes. Anything else and you'd have to get it from Taiwan or Taobao, which should cost a bit more than Rm270 which is the going price for the BW.
If you hate the glossy stuff, take a look at PCHOME taiwan global website.
They have Ducky for NT$2190 and including shipping that makes up to be about rm280~ ish

EDIT: The inevitable cleanup by Mods. I guess someone other than cyclone or edifier has to inform this thread about the arrival of them Leopolds and FILCOs. Or 'Someone' might get Jeles

just when i wanted to place order on ducky 1008 they run out of stock for english caps

This post has been edited by skincladalien: Mar 27 2011, 06:00 PM

They've been out of english caps for a while already.
Maybe you can try source from taobao. Plus you can tapao those keycaps together and save on postage

has anyone here have purchased double shot molded keycaps for all the alphabets b4? just wondering

Hmm... it looks nice indeed, but if I'm not mistaken, their warranty are... serviceless parts warranty?

I'll wait a few more months to see if there'll be any shift in the market like retailers or distributors bringing in more stuff to the actual local market ( instead of having to import from Taiwan or China ) and if nothing changes, I guess a Blackwidow for me then.

The glossy frame of the BW does indeed look ugly, but the keys themselves aren't glossy from what I saw at the store...

So there's always the option of taking off the top ugly glossy side frame of the Blackwidow... and sandpaper it to matte perfection.

The keys are really bad actually. Too rubbery, I have a feeling it will be hard to clean when I do clean mine.

Yours is Ultimate though.

BW Ultimate's keys are considerably more rubbery for an apparently more comfortable pressing feeling while Normal BW is also rubbery, but still feels more like the usual plastic keys of RM20+ keyboards.

I can't really compare my 'press them non-stop at lowyat shops through the cut-outs of the box' experience to someone like yourself, but my first impression of trying the Ultimate keys was that it felt more comfortable... at the cost of being easier to get dirty and sticky.
