i don't think the homemade keycap puller is good thou, it's still gonna damage the edge of the keycap. but it's still better than plastic Ring Key Puller, those scratches keycap badly.

It's a good choice. grab it!, but be sure to remember they have no number pad.

Btw, Wyse keycap is really attractive but.. i remember wyse keycap has 2 version, one is the thick version and another the thin version. and yet, i am still waiting for devlin to reply the quotation to me lol.

gosh that is some serious POISON, too bad cannot poison me , the only thing that's stopping me is the layout, i cannot use the keycap on my keyboard

okay, i'm interested, pass me the information in pm lol.

wait wait wait, you spend RM200+ on used keyboard with doubleshot keycap ??

Well, Jinhan got better deal than you kEazYc, since he got keyboard together XD.

if i can remember, Jinhan Doubleshot Red Alert Rebel Doubleshot is on his way from US to his house.

there's no such thing as best mechanical gaming keyboard, please allow yourself to try the sample at lowyat. and see which type of the switch suits you the most.

I sort of hated blue, next batch won't have blue, since got a few of them didn't pass my own QC, and being schedule to sent back.

Since blue has more moving parts, and QC checking them myself is crucial, most problem are with the clicky sound, i have to press 1 per 1 key to make sure they are clicky before sending out.(problem is time consuming, because each key has to press multiple times for confirming)

Clear switch are for those that loves tactile feedback, if you guys keep spying on Leopold.co.kr korea website, you can see why only korea has them, because korean loves stuff that are 55g above with tactile feedback.(sort of like black with tactile)

But if anyone that are interested in korean FC200R Clear switch with cheap price, you guys can ask kaiserreich on how to get them.

His cousin receive one on Christmas

Used

New PCB board does not mean long lasting anyway, and does not have anything to do with a switch.

If you plan to buy Cherry Blue switch, i would recommend you to visit their shop, tell them you're interested in Cherry MX Blue and ask if you could open one box and test them.

Test all the key to make sure their Clicky is consistence, if it's perfect, take it, if not. don't buy it. simple as that, well doing that may be pain in the ass, but better safe than sorry. am i right?

Actually, the clicky sound is mainly based on moving parts inside that gives off the specific sound.

Keycap thickness and space between keycap and switch may contribute to clicky sound to be a little different.(i tested with my spare blue switches and thin doubleshot keycap and thick doubleshot keyacp)

But the "Clack" sound that you made from bottoming the switch on the keyboard, are very different from each and every keyboard, mainly due to PCB board(thickness) as well as plating(steel or aluminium and thickness involved) use.

those are limited version which belongs to shanghai branch, and will not available else where. not to mention already sold out due to low quantities availability.

if i ever have a chance to travel to your area, i would be happy to let you try and test it.

I feel more comfortable than cherry mx brown. and plus the fact more silent, there's no clack clack clack sound for bottoming, the tactile are very natural.

if you got come Taiping visit kuang liang, you can visit me as well, or we can met up at kuang liang place, and i let you test out the keyboard.

i think it's still acceptable, because there' not hard contact when bottoming the keyboard(membrane serves as a lander pad for switch)

Based on some sales report i seen, japanese are fond with 30g while koreans loves 45g or 55g.
i felt quite strange that the market is totally opposite between japan and korea, one loves soft while another prefers hard.

no you can't, i face this serious problem due to i use cherry mx black too much and always resting my finger on 1 2 3 or Q W E, and end up spamming it without me realizing it.

my realforce are variable weight and 12 qw as zx are 30g. =X but i still enjoys typing and fingers do feel less tired and i can type for longer period of time.

you gusta?
They are specially for japan market.

errr, i have traits while i was using Black few years ago, i face this problem when i use MX red too. lol, keep resting my fingers on my keyboard too much few years ago when using mx black.

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.

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.

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.
