looks like it, I've already sent a pm to clear my order, hopefully it goes through or something

If you follow the thread, it is signature plastics trying to cover their buttocks.
They almost lost money making GB3, so they need some padding to cover the mistakes that will crop up.

Too many options for each style as well. Standard, Standard125,standard150, TKL.... Almost impossible to drive prices down as well (save the more popular sets ie NOIR and whatnot). Can see a lot of people jumping ship from the drop in keycap numbers...

Really difficult trying to get a set of doubleshot keys I like now :| Only a set of used ivory/grey keycaps from a Cherry G80-1000 line board. The Rebel Red Alert keys are taking almost forever to come as well

something like this. If only there is an acrylic body KB like this with those keycaps... wow!

This keycaps(KBC PBT WHITE) color is similar to the Mac White(though again I feel the FILCO LOTUS White is more similar, pic at my 1st post in this page).

Source on 1st post too.

Added on December 18, 2011, 10:41 amCan consider getting those WYSE keyboard from Taobao as they come with DS keycaps with quite nice color(white/gray + blue). Recently(few weeks ago), those taobao seller just stocked in whole new WYSE keyboards.

The ones on taobao are thin DS keycaps.
But the surprise is how solid these boards are. They are comparable to Model Ms and Realforce.

What I feel weird is their R4 row having very curved profile compared to normal DCS...

Added on December 18, 2011, 11:41 amBTW, anyone know the real model name of this KB?

The seller claimed that it is a cherry mx board(judging from the LED in keycaps placement I 80% sure bout it then) but a Mac Layout keyboard?

i bought some Red Blank PBT Keycaps awhile ago, and found out that the height of the keycap is actually higher than the original keycap that comes with Ducky 9008, is it normal to be that way?

Where you source for PBT blank key caps? If you still remember, do the seller has 104 set?

i bought it at Taobao(can't remember the seller).


and nope, the seller don't have 104 sets. only Alphabets.

Every manufacturer has different standard and measurement in manufacturing their keycaps.

Nevertheless, it is normal, the height will be slightly different than your Ducky DK9008 keyboard. But you should have no problem using the keyboard.

After all, they are all belongs to DCS Family profile. just the height is different a little.

@Cyclonechuah

Thanks for the info.

By the way, what should the deciding factor be, between a fileco and a leopold.

haha, i like this clean and cool design. But the kb is original Macintosh right?

Branding(FILCO win, cause it is an old and premium brand. also, it is an japan product.... made in Taiwan )
Stabiliser(Costar(wired) VS Cherry Fake(dummy) Switch. most ppl get well on both, but some ppl claimed that Dummy Switch style are stiffer or more weird. Though, Cherry style easier for amateur to swap keys)
Quality(both are top notch from what I heard, just that some random DOA for both brands(rare). Though, some ppl(from GH) are skeptical about Leopold's Stabiliser(China design that copy Cherry Style)
Specs(Leopold USB 18KRO(ps/2 NKRO) FTW, else FILCO claimed they use 1000Hz polling rate USB...)
X-factor(LOL what, I dono.... May be FILCO cause its flashy marketing skill? Ahem ahem... NINJA + Camou....)


Partially related,

If now Leopold(quality) is on par with FILCO, I wonder how when their so called "improved" TKL FCR700 come out .

I suddenly remember a thing. I suggest that more info such as form factor(TKL, full, mini, 60%...), layout(US ANSI, ISO....) and alternative layout(QWERTY, DVORAK, COLEMAK...) to be put/directed at the 1st page.

Hmm.. quite a good idea. i'll compile lots of stuff and adding more on V5 mechanical, majorly will be taking from geekhack and deskthority wiki thou, will try to simplify them for newbie to easier understanding.

Currently, lack alot of information regarding to plastic materials, keycaps printing method. i'm working on that now.

Added : but for the form factor part, i'm really confuse seriously.

With all those percentage like 60% 75%, 40%, and i'm like "what???????"

Why don't they just go with 104 keys, 87/84 keys, they are more straight forward and easier to understand.

This post has been edited by Cyclonechuah: Dec 18 2011, 04:27 PM

% normal for size inferring different.

Poker easier to say 60%/40% than counting the number of keys, LUL...

Poker is seriously misleading, first KBC say they are 60%, and then another KBC member say 40%

60% and 40% still a different. when i first hear them from KBC, i was like "WHAT!?" plus, i'm drinking that time, have to clean my table.

Anyone know if i can get these around lowyat,digit mall,sunway?
