No Ducky Shine or Filco doesn't comes with macro buttons, if you prefer macros, you're stuck with Razer, at least locally.

Gaming/typing or not isn't important, keyboard is just a tool.



There isn't such thing as "best" in this world, everything has its pros and cons, if you like something soft, with tactile bump to actually feel you pressed on something, require lesser force to press, brown would be your choice.

As for black, if your finger has muscle, why not go for it? It requires high force for the button to actuate, with no bump and no clicky.

Btw, anyone ordered stuffs from www.wasdkeyboards.com before? They are using 3 types of courier ranging from $7.77, $23.59, $28.90 (all in US dollars), wanted to know which one you guys picked. :S

Modding the keycaps is just a personal thing, obviously it's not necessary. It's a personal thing. I mean, if you're the type that likes to look at your keyboard and think to yourself "Damn, dat keyboard so pretteh" (I'm one of them) and you have some extra cash to spare, why not? And also, welcome to the dark side! Where we have cookies and like to stare at photos of keyboards

Keycaps served more as a collection, so they are not necessary. Keycaps have their own advantages depends on how you look at it, some collects them as collection, while some purchase them to install on their keyboards.

Doubleshot printing keycaps, the printing on keycaps last forever unless you destroy the keycap, some people do have some eyesore when they look at their used up keycap where you can see the printing fade, vanish. which causing eyesore to certain user.

But having spare is always welcome!, but i know wallet bleeding in this. (||| '3')

For Macro keys, you can use software to do it actually.

for ducky Backlit, there will be few more models touching down Malaysia next week:

OMG Storm no more poison please T_T I've been thinking of getting a ducky. NOOOOOOOOO MY WALLET !!!!!!!!!!

Btw reds are essentially browns without the actuation point, am i right?

I only interest with ducky shine keycap. Waiting somebody backlight k.boardfail and will hunt it down if there sell it.

Eh? I'm actually interested with BW keycaps. Oh btw Ducky Shine users, do you guys have any issue with Escape key being misaligned? Aside from that, my F12 key has softer backlight too. O.o

okay guys, page is nearing 125, i'm going to make a new v4 thread soon.

@storm88, can you pm me your company information as well as contact number or email address ? and also list out what mech keyboard brand are you distributing. (i only remember cherry and ducky, please provide me more info, if you have more )

I'm going to list out malaysia mechanical keyboard distributor in new v4 thread.

Any other kind people that has more information regarding to local distributor of razer, steelseries, filco, please send me a pm, so i can list them in V4, so user can find distro information in here easily for contact purpose.

Guys actually, compare mechanical keyboard to normal keyboard, what's the difference? I thought of getting a keyboard too preferably illuminated so i can work at night in the dark as well.

Quality, durability, comfortableness and user experience(solid build).

+awesomeness, and the fact that you can get custom keycaps.

- more expensive durable in terms of built quality, lol
- able to customize the keyboard with different variety of key caps
- heavier ( 1.2 kg or more )
- poisonous, u'll go for more after having 1
- if a key malfunctioned, just change it with a new switch. rubber dome = throw away
- most mechanical keyboards has NKRO under PS/2 which allow u to press as many key as u want

I wonder if I wanna get the doubleshot key, not to say cannot afford it.. Just that need find 'excuse to myself haha..

I prefer white key poison.. any doubleshot for that?

Nice. What keyboard will u recommend if i have a budget like 200-300 ? Trying not to stretch more than 300. The keyboard is mainly for gaming and typing, good durability and illuminated if can , i saw a lot of mech keyboard that looks exactly like the normal keyboard lol.

non-illuminated:
PLUM, PLU G3000 Standard Edition, Noppoo Choc Mini 84, Keycool

available at 300 below.

Dam, I think I should extend my budget to 300++ then maybe i could get the SS 6GV2 or Black Widow ultimate =.=

If you make it 300+ you may be able to afford ducky shines, those are illuminated as well.

SS6Gv2 is non illuminated, plus if you want that, just go for leopold, cheaper than SS6Gv2, similar or better quality

Also, the SS6Gv2 is known for having problems with the keycaps, they tend to fade away after relatively short periods of usage.

Definitely Leopold > SS6Gv2

Which leopold model are u guys recommending ? Very hard to find the seller le.
