KMAC, korean custom made keyboard.

will anodized aluminium be the same as being easy to scratch and gotten damaged too easily? sorry for asking about this, because i don't have much knowledge on aluminium.

400 keycaps only RM15 from Germany? holy OMG. i gonna go order more.

i just change my order into all spherical keycap set. not sure why, had a feeling that signature plastic spherical keycap are gonna be thicker than their normal one. since from what i know, my last organized group buy for PANIC and other key are Spherical profile, and man, they are THICK!

if the Spherical Keycap doubleshot from round4 is that, man this is pure PROFIT!

Add Picture Comparison between normal keycap and spherical keycap from signature plastic.
both are doubleshot btw.
<- Left is Sperical
-> Right is Normal

well, i think that won't be a problem, my main concern would be this "will all the key fits? lol"

left is spherical, right is normal.

OMG...
but i think they are gonna be more expensive than my ass.

i ordered total 388 spherical keycap lolololol

no worries, i won't cancel mine, and i'll be a guiney pig instead, in case if you dropping yours.

After that i will be posting pictures of my keycaps for your reference, if you're interested, you can join in the future Round 5 Doubleshot.

heya, guys, does anyone of you interested in Doubleshot Devlin Keycaps? I have just recently contacted Devlin and received replies from them.

we can manage our own group buy in here. i will organize one soon on Geekhack and deskthority.

Their Keycap are significantly better than Signature Plastic. but do beware that they will be much more expensive due to thicker keycap mold as well as better quality.
Pictures provided at below.

Devlin Q Series, they are Low Profile, available in Laser etch, Double Injection, and Blank.
Devlin QS Series, Stepped version of Qseries, Low profile, available in Laser etch, Double Injection, and Blank.


Devlin K Series, they are High Profile, available in Laser etch, Double Injection, and Blank.


Devlin J Series, they are Medium Profile, available in Laser etch, and Blank


if anyone of you interested in US ANSI Layout, and can be fitted on Filco, Ducky, or any keyboard that is using US ANSI Layout, please tell me. i'm planning a Standard kit keycap set (144 keys?).
Still in planning phase thou, will open a interest check(IC) thread in both geekhack and deskthority soon for checking interest.

The main part worries me now will be the bigger keys, like spacebar(will try ask them to make space bar mold that could be able to fit both filco and leopold, a universal space bar), Shift keys and modifier 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2x. not sure if they have the molding equipment for it thou.

i'm interested in their K Series, high profile double injection, damn sexy

well, i think it's nearly a new keyboard already, Signature Plastic Double shot are price range are 35~80 USD depending on MOQ of 25 set above.

i think Devlin might be the same, or even more expensive.
My expected price range are 40~90 USD on MOQ of 25 set above

they are thicker than Legendary Cherry Doubleshots... lol

Yeah, they are high profile spherical, since their keycap molding are old school type. but i think it's comfortable enough anyway.

For the Universal Spacebar, KBC already had those in PBT Keycaps, but wouldn't it be pain in the ass for ordering from both Devlin and KBC? plus color does not match too. IMSTO from KBC only offers White PBT Universal Spacebar for the moment.

Added on November 28, 2011, 3:11 pmwell, yeah, i'm aware of that, and that is why i didn't order FC200, they will be replace by FC700 replacement, i will post more picture about FC700 after i receive a working sample.

FC700 spacebar will be compatible with FC500.

So my plans for Devlin spacebar are design to fit on FC500 which will be compatible with FC700 in future.

ou, god thanks human10 for helping out fellow members here, my place was raining and thunder like crazy, main power jump off like 4 to 6 times, i straight go take a nap and don't want turn back on.

Finally the crazy weather stopped, and i'm online to check back the forum.

Cherry MX Red is not bad for gaming and typing. it's just that, some player considers them too soft.
Just like Cherry MX Black, which people considers them too hard.

It's really depends on personal tatse. Leopold do support NKRO in PS/2. and 16+KRO in USB.

@human10 thanks alot for supporting new members here. btw, i do use the keyboard to play alot emulation game with friends, 2 fella share 1 keyboard, NKRO is best, because my friend can't cheat to win me(he hold 3 key block my key input on membrane keyboard previously, cbcbcb)

My personal opinion? hmm..

I personally feel Black is better in SERIOUS GAMING, since they switch spring force is stronger than Red, when you press the key and release it, they literally follows your finger back up(minor force to push up your finger if you release key press and this makes you double tab or pressing a key repeatly is more easy). I do tends to use Black and enjoy it. The only problem i face for using Black is my finger tends to get tired very quickly with Black. Since the switch do requires higher force.
i can only tahan like non stop typing for 1~2 hours. then go watch tv rest a while. Gaming does not really affect me thou, playing game is like using stim-pack, you won't know you're tired, unless you're bored, then you tired.

For Red, I do enjoy them in a more casual way than Black. But when i first started to use red, i don't like it too much, because i've use ALPS switch for a long time, then Black, so my finger quite used to higher resistant switch.
When i first use red, feeling is weird because is like pressing tofu. But as time goes, the longer i used to it, the more i like it, typing are not as tired as black, and gaming is quite good too.

But do remember, each and every person, finger strength are not the same, some feel too soft, some feel too hard. Like my friend Kas, she's a girl, when she tried out Black, he hates it and say it's too hard, when i let her try Red, she likes it, and say "ngam ngam" *hokkien* perfect.

She then do this, lolololol. btw just a joke, don't take it seriously


Both Black and Red needs time to get used to it, because it's a Linear Switch.

don't laaa, let's team up together and make lowyat.net mech keyboard club keyboard. then we ROCKS!

some one already planning

programmable? you will need to collect money and wait for China KBC group, they are planning something big on Macro features which uses Chameleon keyboard controllers which offers hardware based macro. which cannot be block by gameguard.

i waiting for that too. LOL

this is not about profit, this is about Malaysian PRIDE! and Passion for Keyboard!!! Plus if we join the league faster than Geekhack.org, i will seriously LOLed

I would really prefer a Tenkeyless as well as a Numpad. My placing from left to right will be Tenkeyless Keyboard, Mouse, then the Numpad. prefer a table layout like that.

@kaiserreich, Thinking about using Chameleon keyboard Controller from KBC for lowyat.net keyboard, what do you think? i greedy for the function it offer and hardware based macro.

Added on November 29, 2011, 2:19 ambasically, i'm inspired by KMAC keyboard anyway, looking to do something like this, Acrylic is quite cheap in Malaysia. Plus i know where to source for Aluminium plate.

planning something similar to this casing.
