it doesn't cause any issue at all, just a eye sore, because something "Sengek"

you can make a pin hook, and using keycap puller to pull another end, well, if it's a little, you can still use the keycap puller, but if it is seriously over misaligned, then you still suffer the problem which mention by Geekhack

both of your post actually makes me LOL

This is slowly becoming a keyboard violence discussion. But nevertheless, Solid Quality is still one of the important factor in keyboard which influence typing.

But who knows, maybe one day, robber comes to rob you, you can count on your hefty Keyboard for self defense eh? provided with removable cable for handy travel and chasing robber

can you post the keyboard picture that you used to wack that guy? man, it's hard to imagine a head being BANGED by keyboards, button first or flat surface first ?

i smell another marketing gimmick soon, SmackProof LOL

if you're looking for Backlit Mechanical Keyboard, we do suggest you grab Ducky shine instead of Razer Blackwidow, as Quality should be better.

For me i would choose Ducky Shine over Razer Blackwidow over various reason, well, personal reason is "i don't like glossy stuff, looks good when new, looks like crap when scratched."

you can only purchase them thru international store as there are no distro in singapore and malaysia.

For your knowledge, keyboard doesn't have any import duty at all.

no, i do not have stock for the moment, my next batch of keyboard arrival is at november, if you want, you can place a order with me, and it will be ship together with my next batch of keyboard, futher discussion please use pm, i don't want mod use aeroplane dogfight and shoot my ass.

anyway, my demo topre appears to be same model as the one you have right now, the keyboard are surprisingly good. i have to agree that the keyboard is indeed has a more "smooth" feeling then a brown. one thing i still haven't get comfortable with are the QAZ line, they are much more lighter as my finger are not getting use to it.

i think if this discussion if it's about mechanical keyboard, then it's okay, sales related have to go with pm and or sales thread there. I'm quite scare with mod warning me, =)

yes, personally i found them more enjoyable to type compare to brown, not sure why thou, maybe personal preference.(i like the smooth feeling).

For all keys to be uniform, try looking at the keyboard model, there should be a alphabet difference, but the easily noticeable part are the keyboard name which has 35g/45g/55g at the end.

which you can see here, the model number has a slightly difference alphabet. SE02B0 and SE02C0.
But for safety instead of guessing, please directly ask the seller what's the difference between these 2 model number or asking if uniform weight keyboard are available would be good. If the product they listed does not provide any information regarding weight uniform details.

if you guys have any kind of special request i can try to ask headquarter out to see if it's available.

Btw, i just finish cutting my finger nails to type topre keyboard, definitely more better, was feeling awkward with long feeling nails typing a topre keyboard.

Edited: Added.

Bottoming the Realforce keyboard doesn't have any kind of clacking sound.

do you have any picture showing us? was it a skin watse or something like that? or the keycap coating as peeled off. provide us a picture and we could understand it better.

Btw, this is kinda off topic lol.

i have been using the Topre non stop for like 2 days.

The Keyboard is surprisingly good, as well as the typing feeling that it's given to me.

The Video above practically says it all, this is much more better than the Cherry MX Brown that i tried, the feeling is really smooth and tactile feedback is pleasant.

I think this would be my main keyboard now. Let's hunt some Topre Keycaps.... LOL

they are not tenkeyless keyboard. they are smaller than tenkeyless. which remove the numpad, F1~F12, Directional Button, print screen, scroll lock, pause, insert, home, delete, end, page up, page down.

Yes, they are somewhat like KBC Poker 40%, which only has total key of 60.

and to mention their price are some similar to Topre Realforce keyboard, but expensive than 103U Realforce. 300USD for 1 HHKB keyboard.

My situation are different that yours.

Alot of users have pm me and ask for availability of Cherry MX Brown Switch Keyboard. But it's out of stock

While my Red is still available still selling it in a slow rate. =/

hmm.. soft as if there aren't there? you mean it doesn't even feel the tactile at all? just plain soft?

Btw, Member list updated, as always, for people that wanted to join the list, please do send me a pm, it's hard for me to trace here.

Or when you post a reply at here do add a word "add" because i will mostly search this thread for the word "Add"

it is due to higher demand, so you can notice MX red are more expensive than other switch such as blue, black and brown.

Currently now, you can see that quite a number of new mechanical keyboard product that is adopting usage of Cherry MX Red.

Edit : Fixed.

This will have to depends on the manufacturer.

It is up to manufacturer to either raise the output or maintaining the output while the demends gets higher.

There is a high risk of increasing the output as when Cherry MX Red gets more and more common, the demands will gets lower and lower by time goes.

Demand > Output = Better market price maintaining, and better margin profit

Output > Demand = Selling in big quantities to get better margin profit (Since price are lower, has to use quantities to cover up )
