Black = old choice of gaming switch(reputation built up since SS7G?)
Blue = old typist choice(reputation built up since the fall of Buckling Spring)
Brown = old balance between black and blue, AKA balance between gaming and typing(reputation built up since 1-2 years ago)
Red = new cloud of boobs gaming switch, to replace Black which sometimes deemed too stiff. Also managed to kill some brown off due to it's lighter and linearity(reputation built up this 1-1.5 years)
Clear = LOL what, the neglected one...

Based on someone's sale:
In Malaysia, most ppl take on Brown first, then Blue and lastly Black.
Most of them are still skeptical about RED, may be need wait Corsair's impact to take place?(Black by SS7G, Blue by Razer BW)

But I suspect that it is just "typo". I mean the seller is selling 87 instead of 104? Cz that price for 104 really dirt cheap...

For that price, you can't ask much... LOL...

The main/only down part reported so far is the spacing between arrow keys. Heard that it almost stick together.

Now waiting mine to reach then determine if it will affect the overall performance of the keyboard.

Though, it do give me a Deja Vu on Filco/CM Storm.

BTW, not sure if you missed my previous comment.

Someone from PCWaishe(also a seller in taobao), quoted me Keycool 87 Red Switch white color for only 315RMB, LOL...

Back-lit? You sure bo, BRO?

1. Buy CM Storm Black
2. Source spring from 2nd hand brown/blue board
3. Swap them
4. Profit?(not much actually except if you are free for all those works, LOL).

On keycool part, so far no picture on the spacebar is shown in PCwaishe.
BTW, how do the sparebar of Leopold looks like? I just realise that Razer BWU's spacebar is similar to those KBC aftermart space bar where having 2 positions for stems under.

Ok, screw me. My brain failed me... Forget that PChome is having them at around 100+10(shipping)USD.

What vintage MX blacks?

EDIT: Oh, I remembered... Those DS WYSE keyboard at Taobao.... Nowadays keep on hearing WASD, thus confusing between both things already....

Hmm, then there seems to be a reason to grab vintage board apart from harvesting their keycaps.

Hmm, tok about vintage keyboard. Just found some seriously nice-shyt vintage board from Taobao. Do note that both keyboards only had 1 units remain and being bought by same person.
The color and design . This is certainly the best looking vintage board ever.

Hmm, so lingloong bro/the distributor messed up this board with CM Storm Red?
BTW, my first impression on the board is "notto razer blacky widow agen"...

Not sure if it is fully a WYSE clone as there is quite a lots different in design. But IIRC I once do saw WYSE board of similar design(the box at upper side of the keyboard) b4.

BTW, that board doesn't bother much like other European board which having a shorter left shift and different layout for "<>?". May be it is for layout for China(but normally China using BIGASS enter and tiny backspace AFAIK)? In other words, only the "Enter" and "|\" keys are incompatible. I seriously like the color scheme and design of the backspace keys

P/S: The keyboard layout part really too dam confusing...
Firstly, there is QWERTY, QWERTZ and AZERTY...
Then there is ANSI layout with swap in "Enter", "|\" and "Backspace" size and japan style of short spacebar with extra keys(and of course the reverse bigass enter).
ISO(europe) layout is even more confusing.

Apart from all those above, there is also dvovak and colemak.

Really hell lots, LOL...

Can't seems to find the actual name/type of such layout even from WIKI.
The closest thing I think is probably Japanese Layout but without those 2 extra keys.

Anything not locally available in Malaysia fit my taste...

for that much and complex interests in keycaps, better visit Taobao for it. Search term "kbc"
For simpler request like white white or black black, global.pchome may have them.

Added on December 30, 2011, 11:33 pmHowever, do notice that Leopold's spacebar is not compatible with normal.

Grab them all
Harvesting keycaps doesn't necessary from only one donor board.

But infact those keycaps above is very new?

Added on December 31, 2011, 1:35 pmI think you mean DoubleShot ABS?
They are gotten from 2ndhand/vintage WYSE keyboard from Taobao.

This post has been edited by Human10: Dec 31 2011, 01:35 PM

according to those avove and the seller, those keyboards are actually new in box or open box, which is whole new.

Erm, most of us gone keycaps frenzy(double shots or metal) and the Cherry Red which you dislike had becoming more and more popular.

The latest product which you may(or may not) pay a look at is Corsair K60/90.
