this one..not sure if good tho

I pray hard on god that my upcoming FC700 won't face this issue.

God must bless me pleaseeeeeeeee

Well, the main point is that, the keycap that you purchase from 3rd party, will not be compatible with the membrane switch.

It is bad from my viewpoint for not be able to change all keycap, plus they look fugly when you could only change half of them.

DK1008 XM is Greens Alps if i'm not wrong, Alps switch are quite good, but not sure about the keyboard, because i have no info on them.

The link you provided are Tenkeyless model CM Storm Rapidfire. it is fully mechanical and made by Costar.

Looks quite promising and some kinda blackwidow + xarmor crossbreed hybrid.

But If it's manufactured by Ione, then heh, i`ll laugh quite hard on this.

For others people that who don't understand why i would laugh, click on the spoiler.

Still with me. Figured since it is limited. Might as well keep it. Besides, would be good as a back-up keyboard as well.

every filco ltd is worth a collection

DK 1008 XM i find someone in lowyat selling for 190 quite cheap for a mechanical keyboard if compare to logitech g105 which more suitable for gaming i mean like anti ghosting and all?

actually it is not cheap at all considering the original price of it. (sorry, storm)

DUCKY alps are FULL anti ghosting over PS/2, and 6-keys anti ghosting over USB.

in performance how does alps switch works compared to cherry mx and which is better?

ALPS have a higher actuation point than Cherry MX switches, so maybe that would mean ALPS can actuate faster, by a few mili/micro seconds?

I'm just guessing and adding some of my opinions to it. But if you think you can tell that difference, then good luck.

In terms of mechanical key switches, it's more about key feel rather than the subjectively named performance.

It's all right, but had to tell that,
The pricing structure at Taiwan vs Malaysia (or other distributors in the world) is totally different.

Seller at Taiwan doesn't need go thru the level of distributor. While at Malaysia and other country, we distributors do the works for Ducky.

Actually those 9 series price are still consider OK, as those China seller in Taobao also price around that price.

Just that the XM model suppose to be an entry board, those the price should be more affordable to attract customers.

i think these keyboard are rare and only for collectors. since they have already went EOL. and rarely seen in market. Plus the fact that it was made by "Philips" which manage to let me say "wtf!?", i consider them as collector item.

comments taken. Really appreciate that.
we'll try to see and make an win win situation there

what kind of printing are those? worth collecting if it's dye sub

They look double shot.
Some philips comes in double shot, while some comes in pad printed.

Taiwan Whites are clicky and tactile.
Similar structure to the Blue stem, except the white plastic is glued to the stem for taiwan white.

The keyboard at taobao have problems/does not work properly. If you get it, it's only for switch and keycaps harvesting.

i would've shitbrick if i collected the keyboard and found out it was pad printed.

There's something i spotted long time ago, which looks like quite worth for harvesting the keycap, not sure if you guys are interested thou.

Well, i'm quite worry with it, since i can't find any info about it, and think it might not be original part.

Some dumb question, how do i say modifier keycaps in chinese?
