I came across them while some Taobao searching, kind of interested too but I somehow still prefer the transparent nylon keycaps(probably extincted dy).


BTW, luckily their order are not much, hope won't affect the overall price, LOL...
Oh wai, I forget that our shipping fee is being shared...

Added on November 25, 2011, 2:31 pmWrong thread you came I assume? 510 -> Logitech G510?

KRO thing is being checked using aquakeytest(or similar) program. The maximum number of key being pressed(let say "X") indicate it is "X"KRO.

Geekhack should had a compilation of some mech kb KRO(not sure if they still updating though).

Don't know, buy one and check it yourself?

LOL, it may not be true 100%. A whole new(open box) IBM model M industry/TKL can anytime cost more than your realforce...

Yup, old but golden. Some ppl having retro/vintage fetish and are willing to spend on ridiculous price IBM model M(similar to the cherry ergonomic that sold for >RM7.5k in yahoo.jp February last time....).
BTW, model M is really a good keyboard.

But most stock in Taobao is kind of very old/worn.
Though, buy SSK from Taobao and resale in ebay(US) = over 200% profit.

Hmm, you tried all possible combination?
Strange that Logitech themselve only claim 5KRO.

Bro, chill down. Get your fact right first b4 pointing your missile to me...
I don't own a G510, thats why I can't give comment bout it, not involving any sarcasm here, OK?
Also, not that I am really interested in G510 itself, I just share the 5KRO thing for which it is like the "official statement" from Logitech.

Ignorant? You mean I say he wrong thread part? G510 indeed should not be discussed in this thread.

Most commonly seen anodized aluminium in Malaysia I think is on Macbook/Ipad, LOL. May be next time you pay a visit to Switch/Machine and try to scratch them?
A properly anodized aluminium do having smooth finish and more resistant. Though, nothing in the wall is perfectly scratch resistant if you purposely want to do so....
My Dell Vostro 3700 is also having anodized aluminium casing but somehow the finish is inferior to that of Mac.

Also, dying is only possible on anodized aluminium due to it's porous(unable to be seen by naked eye) nature.

@above

Saw them in GH.

I am wait to see how SS will "BS"/TalkCxxx" bout their new switch choice, LOL...

Qpad, are they rebranded Xarmor?

Who know if there is still any people out there playing retro arcade/fighting games which support multiple(2) players to play on same PC? 4 hands mean 6KRO surely not enough, LOL.

@Akiyo
Most cherry switches(except blue), be it tactile or linear are having no problem with quick double tapping.

Cherry MX Blue itself on its other hand are "naturally" not very suitable for double tapping due to it's double mechanism to actuation(for normal typing which doesn't require quick double tapping of same key, it is perfectly fine). Though, not all ppl are sensitive enough to notice the "limitation" and some ppl still gaming happily on blue(they are blinded by excitements and clicky sound of blue) , same logic like those razer fanboi blinded by razer's bling bling(LOL a little off topic).

As a Razer BWU owner(and hater too), i will suggest better avoid it. It isn't really a solid build for a mechanical keyboard and some many are having certain defects right out of box(where as others are razer fanboi which is too blind to notice them...). Only get them if you are allowed to try and check them + finitely 1to1 exchange them, LOL...

Bro(or Sis?), Razer BW AFAIK don't have MX Black variant(normal/ultimate/DA2/Battlefied are blue, stealth is brown).
Apart from built quality, it's next low points are glossy surface(fingerprint/oily magnet), not solid(can flex), improper fitted switches(some is slanting left/right and some is high and low), 2KRO, left shift squeking and some others.

Normal out of box defects are pinging(defect in switches) and inter-lapping of some keycaps(normally around c/v/x/left alt/space).

If you are a DIY modder, you can mod them all and make Raze BWU a quite decent board(except the 2KRO part).(though if I am modding, I will go for Rapoo V7 which is like a TKL(tenkeyless) version of BW)

Tactile(bump) mean you will experience a sudden increase in oppose force to indicate to you that the switch is actuating(exclude blue). For more experienced typist(or also those who bottom out the switch all the time), it doesn't really matter apart from personal preference..

Steelseries = black only(for the time being till their limited MX red edition reach).
Steelseries in Malaysia is also seriously overpriced(in europe/US they are often having offer and really cheap/worth). Though, it is also because they are experienced company and also their product(mostly) are quite good quality.
Online shopping? You can find them at lowyat(though the price is somehow overpriced if you don't nego with them, labelled price is RM550). There is a sample for you to try out in viewnet lowyat.

In short, SS = acceptable quality but high price tag. You can get similar quality/feature stuffs like Leopold at much cheaper price.

/hint look at ahem, ahem, TS's siggy
/end hit


BTW, are you a notebook/desktop user. Leopold will be a perfect choice if you use notebook as it support 18KRO over USB(which is very very decent).

Like I mentioned, Leopold's keyboard is quite decent for their quality(on par with premium mech kb brand like FILCO) and this statement is agreed by most keyboard professionals/collectors.
The price is also more affordable than most other brand. I personally feel that it is worth as Leopold at MY is priced quite good comparing to foreign country(where other brands normally will be priced more expensive in Malaysia) + the sale now come with free full blank keycaps(which you can fetch at least RM30 if you sell them, LOL).
Solid built and feature wise it offer the rare USB 18KRO.

As you are a girl, I not sure if you will find black switch too hard/stiff. Brown/Red will be more suggestible if you are not that strong(I personally find all of them(except red cause I don't own them) acceptable.

LOL I don't own any Leopold(but we normally assume board having same switch will have almost same feeling). I tried black and own brown and blue.

Not sure if Leopold support PS/2 but it's USB 18KRO is real 18KRO(minimum is 18 random keys).

Normal rubber dome = a little stiffer than brown/blue.

Blue = good for typist but having certain issues* if you need to quick double tapping same keys. It is the only clicky Cherry MX switch(apart from Green which will not be discussed further here). Tactile.
Black = linear and some gamers(FPS) like them very much. Maybe tiring for prolonged usage due to it stiffer nature.
Red = almost like lighter version of Black(lighter than brown)

Real portable = KBC Poker.
Gaming use = LOL I don't know. What features you looking for?

This post has been edited by Human10: Nov 29 2011, 01:10 AM

If you are not looking for any bling bling/special features like macro, NKRO or multimedia keys, KBC poker should be OK.

SRP is around 400 RMB(cheapest version) which will end up at around RM250 shippied to Malaysia.

Haha better assist them b4 they made the wrong decision and come here say we cheated on Mech KB awesomeness.

I see what he did there.

The whole numpad at the right.
There is myth out there stating that closer mouse placement to your keyboard is healtier, LOL.
