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

ou my god, i saw the video about fastest typing championship, but WTH!? 163 WPM?? this is INSANE.

ghosting feature just another named by other company, originally it was KRO(Key Roll Over) if you concern about ghosting feature, find keyboard that has NKRO feature, they can detect no matter how many key is press and hold.

There are multiple switches which you should read in the 1st page.

well, i'm not allow to actually advertise, but i will announce later and also a link to my signature. Cherry MX Red are available.

My goods still queue in Shipment TT_TT

for you guys that interested in ALPS switch, i have experience with them, they are sort of like buckling switch which you can see in the first post in this thread.

thou they are not at smooth as cherry, they are still sturdy as hell which one last me around 13 years, which you can see i own a 13 years old ACER 6311-HU keyboard that is still working until to this date.if you want to talk about my abusing which i type around 5 hours per day which i mean non-stop usage.(membrane last me 3 month, which one of them only last around like 2~3 week, i changed 3 membrane keyboard in 6 month, can't blame it, i'm cheapskate that time one membrane keyboard was RM3X, but i change 3 time, RM9X in 6 month, cheap but TROUBLESOME and to talk about disappointment when you are in half of a working or gaming session and your keyboard just DEAD)

note : if people that is interested why i use membrane at that time because i think it was time to let me 11 years old keyboard to rest and kept it as a memory. It's already consider a classic mechanical keyboard and i don't wish to break it.(2 years ago)

@JonSpark, Unfortunately, Filco doesn't release any keyboard with backlit, you have to wait for Ducky or buy international(Deck, or any kind of mechanical keyboard with backlighting), i think i saw some post in back in few pages which one is selling in lowyat, Xarmor Keyboard, i think.

please contact any distro or people that are incharge with your warranty, both side of alt function failed, mostly because of circuit board which is not involve with water but due to some part on your board failed to function as i mean "Alt Function", if involve with water, possible render the whole keyboard render unusable.

well, Xarmor is a mechanical keyboard(which they added "gaming" into their product name)

But i don't know how you justify a product to be normal or gaming, maybe ergonimic designs like Xarmor which you don't like it, or you just prefer classic design keyboard.

For me i prefer no backlight, gone to friend's home and tested some keyboard with backlight feature, eye damn pain looking at words on keyboard. would be better if all lights are dimmer, so i would recommended any keyboard with backlight as long as backlight are not too sharp. = =

For me, i touch typing already, no issue even typing without looking at the keyboard. so backlight not required anymore.

Anyone that is still interested in Leopold Keyboard, here is some news for anyone that are still interested in Leopold.

Currently, the keyboard reach Malaysia Shore ETA 16th August 2011. It will reach soon.(i have received confirmation, since the keyboard currently now clearing custom)

Attached thumbnail(s)

There are Blue, Brown, Red, and Black available.

but Black will be limited, since i don't order alot of them(depends on users here, but from what i read from v1 and v2 club thread, not many are fond with black, so i order only a little).

Users that still wondering about Blank Keycaps. Please rest assured that they will be included with the keyboard as this is the 1st batch promotion.

And btw, more information will be release in Leopold Thread, after i'm ready. please give me some time, thanks everyone.

Anyway... time to change topic! my keyboard appearance has led this into Leopold Keyboard sales thread, later mod come wipe and sapu me. let's continue back the mechanical keyboard discussion.

actually, the demand for white keyboard are quite low, and one of the main reason is that, the keyboard is very easy to get dirty(i mean visible). all dirty stuff can be easily seen on the keyboard.

Well, myself actually hungers for such keyboard. i could custom order some, but the required ammount are high, and due to the fact the mechanical keyboard kept updating new looks and design. So, i'll wait for a perfect choice to choose White Color.

but those are rare, just like Cherry MX switch which is grey, green, and other kinds etc like clear casing.

that is why i say rare.

you got 2 doesn't means it's still widely available now, plus you mention it's 80`s.

Current widely available alps are Black and White version. while other colors are very rare now due to their production of such unique switch has been stop/axe. OR market demands aren't high, so these switch are considered as expensive due to the fact they need to be custom order.

No, the "shine" surface is actually a kind of gloss finish.

The surface was actually "rough" surface which doesn't shine when it was new. But when you're using it over time, and repeatly pressing the key over and over again, your finger was actually polishing the key over time when you pressing it.

So, after a long period of repetitive using on the key, the key surface will start to become "shine" due to being a smooth/gloss surface.

There are several solutions to this matter, you can try to search for Ripster on geekhack.

i'm interested, anyone think about bulking? or i start? lol this is poisonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

yeap, it looks alike, but the keyboard layout are somewhat resembled to a laptop keyboard layout. But still it comes in handle if i wanted to use it traveling.

Btw storm88, my ducky still in your place? xD

yeap.

For PBT engraved, the price is around like RM130 between more or less.

For ABS Double shot, prepare to fork out RM150~200. depends on how they gonna charge you.

anyway, i heard alot of people are mentioning about Leopold are actually made by Datacomp, Yes, i have to agree that Current Tenkeyless Model are made by Datacomp, but not Fullsize keyboard, not the same manufacturer.

Btw, squarebox bro, i did read somewhere that you mention your FC500 keyboard only can attain 6KRO under USB, which i think impossible, because i did tried with all my sample as well as new keyboard to ensure it is 18KRO above. Do you need any kind of help?
