@offtopic, the only thing that alienware attracts me, are their casing design and ventilation, something like when temperature raises, the casing will actually open the gap to allow better ventilation, very cool.

but i got no moolah buy, they doesn't even sell casing separated as well. well, again.. no moolah,

Haiz, already printed my invoice, and schedule tomorrow to go penang kastam.

FC700 sample delay till January. sad... was excited like crazy about it.

Anyway, Sample result has out today, and the Texture result is quite pleasing. I'll post more pic when i gotten the sample.(sigh.. have to wait another 2 week)

Honestly, you need doubleshot keycap, seriously, you need it.

If you use the keyboard alot, i would advice you not to get White Keycap, it's been majorly pain in the ass for me, when i use PBT White Engraved Keycap. Damn, the keycap becomes alot dirty.

Plus, i donno wtf insect, The insect always fly to my white Keycap and begin to "pee" on my keycap, making yellow spot that cannot be wipe off, need to take the keycap and wash and brush with tooth paste.(like brushing your teeth morning and night). Yellow spot are pain in the ass to remove honestly.

Btw, i order additional few sets of Old Doubleshot Cherry Keycap from Taobao, i'm expecting them to reach January, i'll post some picture when i receive them. might as well share them with some keyboard enthusiast here that have not collect doubleshot keycap set before.

I'll clear up some misunderstanding here.

ABS Material Font Printing Available Method - Pad Printed, Laser etch, Doubleshot.
ABS cannot use Dye sublimation method, because they would melt/deform in the process.(due to plastic nature that does not have high temperature resistant)
But they do have a advantage of Doubleshot injection method because of their heat resistance is low, making it much easier to work with.

PBT Material Font Printing Available Method - Pad Printed, Laser etch, Dye sub.
PBT cannot use Doubleshot Method, because they are too hard to work with, and the fact that they have high heat resistant, as well as unpredictable shrink when keycap cool down.
It's a shame that PBT cannot use Doubleshot, but they still has the privileges of being able to have Dye Sublimation Printing Method. But it's also making them one of the most expensive combination(expensive material + expensive printing method = you pay for the "EXPENSIVE")

But if you wanted to strictly talk about Keycap Durability, Doubleshot still takes the trophy, mainly due to the key that they have higher contrast and much more durable printing than Dyesub, If keycap has become Shiny, you can just use a sandpaper to get back the texture you wanted.
But you cannot use the same method to PBT Dyesub, mainly because of their Dye printing Penetration is not deep enough to allow you to do sanding to get back the texture, if you do sand with it, the color will slowly loses the contrast, and finally faded ultimately after 2~8 years of usage.(Dye Sub Printing heavily depends on dye penetration on the keycap, if it's deeper, it will last longer)

For Laser etch method, both ABS and PBT can be Laser etch, but the difference is that, ABS will have White Color Font(Burnt Mark) from Laser etch.
But on PBT, it is also because of their high heat resistant, They took a bit longer, and have Yellow/Gold Color Font(Burnt Mark)
(they are from my speculation and from what i readed, if someone has more accurate information, please provide it)

There is also some information regarding to ABS plastic, that they have mix some chemical/material into ABS plastic in order to make it's laser etch to have White Color Font. (i forgot i where i readed this information)

From what i readed, Black ABS Keycap has special material mixed with it, and cause to have have white print from Laser.

PBT has either gold/yellow on black or grey on other color keycap, as far as i know. KBC makes grey lasered on PBT.

Yesterday morning go kastam taken my stuff and had delivery this morning. finally has time to upload the photo taken yesterday.

I got ordered some Doubleshot ESC Keycaps for people that are interested in them, i will make a thread soon regarding to this.

nope, but they do ask "apa ke-tahi-an ini?"

1 Set double shot? nope, 6 set Cherry doubleshot keycap lol, btw, i will keep 2 set for myself. They are from taobao.

For Doubleshot Escape key, they are from Korea, which is not from Taobao. =X

They currently still in china and not yet deliver to me, because i tell my taobao agent to delay and ship together with Zinc alloy keycap., estimated january reach. Together with some Zinc Alloy Keycap.

nope, not black one, they are black on white and black on grey keycap.(white keycap and grey modifier keycap)

Heh, i'll post pictures when i got em, and share with people here. Anyway, i'm heavily interested on Zinc Alloy Keycap, i really hope they last long thou.

Anyway, i'll make a WTS thread later when i have them, so let's keep sales related out of the thread.

maybe he order some keycaps and some other stuff and have it ship together to save some cost. =X

tell us about the quality when you use them.

Sometimes, quite worry with China Standards and Quality Check Standards.

Wow, Noppoo has redesign their casing. The keycap are empat ringgit/each, i'll make a new thread regarding to this.

Yesterday night, my Monitor Dell2209wa went kaput, suddenly monitor off ifself. cannot be switch on again.

Btw, anyone interested in Clickclack Skull keycap? I've been offered by clickclack due to clickclack missed my 4grabs order, and he decide to compensate me by offering these keycap.( 9 USD for 1 Keycap )

He offered me 4 types, only limited 1 keycap each type for purchase.
Blue MX Skull (Factory 2nds)
Yellow MX Skull (Factory 2nds)
Red Topre Skull (Factory 2nds)
Blue Topre Skull (Factory 2nds)

P/S : i do not gain a single cent/profit from this, just sharing.

shipping fee is quite expensive which is $14 usd. I know some of you have been crazy about clickclack keycap and unable to get it since they are so limited. So i decided to let Malaysian community to have a chance to purchase it.
http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?24467-4Grabs

Anyway, i do not gain any profit from this, i'm just sharing with those people that are interested in this.
But maybe i'll buy 1, or none. because my monitor kaput, have to get a replacement, so no moolah buy this keycap anymore.

Consider this my Christmas gift to lucky people that wants Clickclack keycap. (you still have to pay for the keycap, it's not free.)

Clickclack only compensate me, so one type one keycap, there are 4 type = 4 keycap available, if 4 people want, then each person can only get 1, then it's gone.


Hmm.. base on your explain, i think my Ducky DK9008 has the same situation as you, which my keyboard doesn't power up when usb is plug in.

well, to be honest, i might choose not to repair it, and just salvage all the switch and plate for my own private keyboard project.

1st, and 3rd picture should be anodized process, but damn it looks so rough on the first picture and looks so weird on the 3rd picture.

2nd picture seems like they using color spray. =X, i'm very interested to look at underside of the keycap.

hmm, you should have written down the serial number of the keyboard, and check if the keyboard return is replaced or repaired.

Hello Spoilt, Not sure if corsair K90 keyboard is already available locally or not.

But from the looks of local member selling these keyboard, So i'll assume that they are already available. you can try to contact with Local Corsair Distributor directly, and ask if these product is already available in Malaysia.

As price, i don't think it's the seller that are marking up the price, but local Corsair stuff has always been slightly more expensive than foreign country USD price tag. So i think it's the SRP that set by Local Corsair Distributor, But i may be wrong thou.
