http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1934820

hello...im using razer bw elite....dono how to setup the M keys...huhuhuactually dono what to set though...im just playing cs...dont have ideas to use the M keys lol huhuhuuh

Nice mechanical keyboards.

Comes with palm rest too. I missed having the palm rest for my current keyboard.

ducky shine is oso coming, now only stock xarmor?

gotta wait a lil longer and i'll own my very first mech keyboard bb rubber domes

Annoying. I've "fixed my BWU after I screwed up the firmware, but now it doesnt work as its supposed to.

It's coming into msia? Any seller or links?

Another thing wanna ask all the mecha keyboard fanatic here
Any difference for Ducky and Filco? Both seems to be very similar, and price also around the same. Just that I heard the manufacturer for Filco is also the OEM maker for SS 6Gv2 and 7G.

@blueberry, as the saying goes, dont fix wads not broken..one perfect example, my camera has new firmwares with new updates but i didnt bother..cant afford to haf something happen to my dslr

I think it is Leopold and SS having same manufacturer due to that odd placement of the spacebar.

I have a Ducky and a FILCO, and I can say FILCO's build quality is better. It feels much solid, and it does not have odd QC issues like the Ducky I have with different colored blue LED lights. However, FILCO's keycaps are bad quality, so they shine pretty easily, so I put a set of PBT on it.

Tried out MX browns on a Ducky and a FILCO. Due to different construction, Aluminium plate vs Steel Plate, they sound different, but in in term of key feel, they are similar.

If both are same price, then I'd get a FILCO

For ducky keyboards, i don't think it is that close with Filco,
you see:
DK1008 cost you RM299
DK9008G2 cost you RM389~ RM400
DK9008 Shine cost you RM399

all the above said price are Market Suggested Retailer Price (MSRP), and they do have difference with Filco (I think)

They had their own good. Ducky has FN media key incurred and Filco does not. Filco had a better quality build for overall although lack of media key since i had ducky and filco too for comparison:)

Did you managed to source the white ducky or if you can try to get it out?

Sounds like if were to compare Filco and Ducky of same level (like majestouch 2 with G2 with same switches), Filco would be more expensive since it comes with non-PBT caps (dunno what cap it uses xD) and Ducky already with PBT caps.

Does Filco comes with non-printed version? Couldn't find it anywhere..

Filco can find around RM430 also so it's around RM30 difference in terms of price for same switches (9008 and Majestouch 2). No idea about 1008.

Tradeoffs again
If only SS 6Gv2 is sold in brown switches, then it's almost perfect.

True. Thing is the new firmware was suppose to allow the BWU to be fully compatible with Macs so I tried to update it. Screwed up first time, bricked it. Found a way to fix it. Now it doesnt work properly. Urgh. Just the reason to get myself a Filco Blue. lol.

The letters on PBT Ducky don't age well. They get dirty after a while.
If you're getting an engraved set, then that's a different story.

What does that stand for?

Its a plastic the use to make the keycaps and KB.. if not mistaken the plastic should be polybutylene terephthalate or sumthing?

All lasered Keycap face the same problem as all other keycap that makes from different materials. ABS keycap lasered white willl become brownish over time, while PBT keycap lasered slightly gold colour will also become brownish over time. please correct me if i'm wrong =X

Don't Filco letters get dirty as well after a while?

And, comparing SS 6Gv2 and Ducky 9008, hows the build quality?

yup
for those who want more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polybutylene_terephthalate

have use Filco for about 5 months. So fast nothing negative happen to the key caps.
And the feel is still same as the first day i touched it

New Noppoo Choc Pro Clear switch is release. ( maybe im outdated? )
