Shiny isn't that bad actually, other than looking bad, most people around you probably won't even notice it.

My finger tip isn't sensitive to that sense that I need to feel the matte texturing to know what I am doing.. I am using a super lousy rubberdome + super shinny keyboard back in office..

I did a typing test in it, my WPM drop from 80 to 60 lol

Got some new toy, not too happy with it.. never thought it would get scratch so easily buy the key puller.. + the white is a bit yellowish..

Translators are not perfect but I assume that "keyboard body with leather paint coating" = Satin painted finish on the casing. But I may be wrong...

Considering that the quickfire is most likely an OEM from Costar, they will mostly like have the same type of "coated" keycaps which Filco have.
If you have notice, Filco keycaps are said to be coated as well.
*
I believe most keycap have surface treatment coating from my plastic injection working experience else I don't think they can withstand our abuse.. The shinny part is where plastic's texture gone wear and tear

Thanks to the word "gaming", almost everything now is rubber coated now. And I hate it!!

Meh. I'm not a fan of gaming keyboards.
But I'm definitely getting one of this

I would have wanted it if not of the FN replacing window key (much annoyance for me), Tenkeyless.. I would rather want it.. although I don't use it that often..

But hell it's sexy

I just paid a visit to the shop you visit haha.. Not too expensive or cheap, but everything is in the box, din ask the boss to open and play xD

LOL... me also RUBBER DO NOT WANT!!!
Btw, i was wondering why they coat those so-called gaming mice with rubber anyway? Is it a compulsory for rubberized surface be implemented if it is a high end mouse??? Wonder who gets the idea of coating them with rubber in the first place...  hmm.gif
*
Else who would buy a new mouse even their mouse don't break down? During my Engineering Course - Design module, we are forced to create a product with specific life cycle so sales would come..

Razer works this pretty good haha

Personally, I'm picky about the type of stabilizer used for bigger keys.
Both stabilizer works well but they each have their pros and cons.

Filco - Costar stabilizer retains the feel of the switch but changing keycaps is more troublesome.
Leopold - Cherry stabilizer make changing keycaps a breeze but it makes the switch feel different.

Both are great keyboard regardless.
In Singapore, Filco and Leopold are the same price of SGD$179. Without a doubt, I would pick the Filco.
In Malaysia, Filco are RM4XX and Leopold are RM345. Leopold are definitely a great buy.

If money is not a problem, just go with the Filco.
*
haha if the Leopold cost only 345 I think no harm buy 1 and play with it

Im.... virtually speechless..... so there IS quality control at Razer's factory after all....  doh.gif  doh.gif

Offcourse there's QC, else they might be not working at all out of the box.

you see, QC works this way. imagine you are the worker
1) Boss this key a bit off, let it go? Boss: aiya this 1 won't do any harm, just release it
2) Boss this switch doesn't feel like the others? Boss: you sure it don't feel like others? Do you feel that you are losing your bonus too?
3) Boss this keyboard seems a bit uneven? Boss: throw it away, we only want perfect parts
4) Boss this keyboard won't work at all.. Boss: hmm maybe there's ppl who too busy to exchange, let put it through and hope for it.

That's how concept of QC works, even you have world class machinery, error still could happen and it's QC that makes the final quality great. That's what I learned from working in manufacturing line

QUOTE(storm88 @ Sep 2 2011, 10:16 AM)
how about the Ducky? However it once gave you bad experience on quality issue
you should had give them another chance too smile.gif

I am not pro on Mech keyboard like but so far I'm satisfied because no comparison xD
Already have 2 Ducky

The typing sensation with the white and black Ducky 9008 is different.. somehow the white feels less satisfying.. Felt softer and more linear although both being same model and carrying the same switch

Is it the brown switch? Probably the keycaps could affect the the feels.

Anyway, just got my leopold red switch from cyclone. It is great keyboard. Still need sometime to get used on red switch. It is softer than brown. biggrin.gif

I wanna get 1 unit from him too, worried about not getting used to it, i try tapping on blue switch back few days.. seems really loud lol

Thats probably because your black one with browns has been broken in, thereby giving you the impression that is is better
Give your white one a few more weeks, it'll should feel more like your black one in time

I thought so too actually, let's let time be the judge

Thanks for the reply. I just checked ebay and had a look at the geekhack website.. They are so expensive! I might as well just get a set of engraved white PBT keys and put some permanent marker on them..  laugh.gif

I have a pad printed rubberdome (Compaq bundled system like 15 years ago) it's solid like a wall, the pad print coating is clear in colour. It also creates a 3 dimensional feeling when you touch it, rather pleasant one.

My previous few old keyboards printing never fades even years of using, my first encountered with fading keyboards start during when I got the IBM bundled rubber dome keyboard..

I know that Leopold are suppose to be 18KRO but on geekhack no one could reconfirm if I was right or wrong.
After hearing this, I retested the Leopold FC500R on all the different HUB ports on my computer.

I faced 6KRO on 2/4 of my USB ports on the front of my computer. The other 2 performed with 18KRO.
USB at the back all are 18KRO.

No idea why... Can anyone get the same results? I can post a video about this occurrence if needed doh.gif
Thumbs up for Lowyat for the good response from users.
I cant blame Geekhack as there aren't much FC500R on there whereas in Singapore, I heard from the distributor that over 15 pieces are sold but no one cares to re-confirm.
Most Singaporean users are selfish and do not contribute.
*
Just Receive my Leopold FC500R/EB, can you share the testing software? I will post the result tonight
Feels damn solid compared to my ducky haha.. Now I know what is a solid keyboard, before this ducky is already damn solid in comparison to my older keyboard

QUOTE(Human10 @ Sep 6 2011, 12:25 PM)
Pad-printing so long-lasting? hmm.gif
Or may be you mistaken lasered keycaps as pad-printing?

As what rurushu said, my pad printing is covered with a very good coating, even impossible to peel with sharp object(not intentionally tho).

When I visit funan, the price listed for peripheral is rather slightly expensive than Malaysia counterpart, I think mainly due to the 7% GST.

Oh ya, the Leopald doesn't work with MACs

My WPM dropped a lot with the red switch > <

I was wondering why you get 2 same but different color Ducky, i thought your white one is the Year of Rabbit L.E. version....
*
haha cant manage to source rabbit, any it don't work over MAC (usually those who can do a lot of KRO over USB don't work over MAC)

P/S: Mechanical Keyboard is relatively cheap to compare than gaming peripheral which don't last and got replaced real fast.

I would buy one more keyboard I guess, a Filco Blue switch this time xD. But not in a short while

Only switch not interested is black
