Hmm, found a cheap unknown OEM brand of compact keyboard.

Probably quite an old brand and model b4 the rise of compact mech kb(this few years).

Nope, as far as I can tell, that is the "POWER ON" icon.

LOL details? For RM80+, mechanical is nearly impossible. For rubber dome/scissor switch, it is also impossibly high...

Good luck then. BTW, the board is made by DS International(Taiwan).

So far all the comments are positive(I mean the FULL SIZE 104Keys model).
The only bad comments I ever heard are "stiff "military grade" braided wire" and only black switch.

For the 85% small keyboard, the odds layout may bother you. Apart from that, the USB over 16KRO things MAY BE buggy(can't confirm but it's relative Irocks 6230 is having some problems in the field).

Built quality wise, so far no negative heard.

Saw it but doesn't really take note on pricing. If they can manage to make a full set of the keycaps(with R1,2,3,4 and large modifiers), I will instantly grab one(provided it cost less than 100USD, LOL).

Alternating the full keyboard with the 2 riddle keycaps, OWAI, sounds like batman?

Quality wise filco. Comfort/bling bling wise not sure, may be ss7g or corsair k series.

all 30g, exclusive for Topre 108 Japan layout right(except limited/special edition)?

Linear = increasing linearly/uniformly the stiffness as you press down the switch, like pressing down on spring.
Tactile = sudden bump in the resisting force(dig out the rubber dome from your keyboard and slowly pressing and feeling it)
Normal keyboard even rubber dome/scissor switch also are tactile, most of them occur near/when you bottom up the keys.

If you love the feeling of Razer BWU, that mean you love Blue switch. Love it then keep with it, the more you try the more unhappy you feel, and the more your wallet burn, LOL...

Hmm, Taiwan. A nice place for cheaper mechanical keyboard.

Aim for brands like Thermaltake, CM Storm, and most importantly Ducky and KBT. Those keyboard are more rare to be found in Malaysia and cheaper in Taiwan.
KBT Race on the other hand is quite a rare thing that is still exclusive to China and Taiwan now.

Added on January 2, 2012, 12:01 amStill desperately waiting for mine....
Ordered last tuesday and probably gonna reach soonest thursday this week...
Hope mine isn't being that seriously plagued by the arrow keys offset problems.... (at least pls don't let it overlaps...)

Ermm, thats some serious WTF there... Somemore thats special edition somemore... Try change the keycaps and see if that will make better.
But most importantly, dont be as sucks as Razer BWU I OK already... Razer Keys slanted height uniform + overlapping(ALT and spacebar)...

Added on January 2, 2012, 12:59 amHmm, can take some macro shot on those offset keys just now? Want to see if the problem is caused by the offset of switch itself...

BTW, what happened to the stabiliser on the left shift?

Added on January 2, 2012, 1:00 amTry PM TS.

BTW, how about the FILCO R that you hated much last time? Sold too?

LOL that forum so alike the PCwaishe one?
Noooo, not another forum for me to lurk at...

When you saw it, you will shyt brick things, LOL...

BTW, found something really useful from the forum just now.

A full loaded keyboardlogy of most keyboard models/brands:
http://waishehome.cn/thread-25568-1-1.html

go GS search. Some retailers sell them. Though, the price is really, not very affordable...
btw, another reason most/all of us here hold our horse is due to the keyboard not fully mechanical.

Some may argue that we also probably won't use the rubber dome section much but still as keyboard enthusiasts, we just can't get over the bizarre /oddity.

Also, keycaps changing will become a hell of jobs for corsair...

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.

normally I heard"大键位"

You want what color?
Last time I saw a green lime color.
