Just a Taobao away, isn't?
I believe Taobao will provide a better price and the shipping will be reasonable/cheap as Chc Mini is small(thus lighter).

You can just ask us here to help, can't you?
Simply go taobao search for the item then quote it here b4 you proceed to the agent. We are willing to assist you.

LOL, you guys forget the ''Razer BW''? It should be the cheapest BL Mech KB around.

And yes, indeed it is ''cheap''...

Hide them from your sale threads and tada, instant 500bucks(RM) in your pocket, PROFIT?

The built quality of Razer BWU is very sucks and though sometimes even causing problems. Though, it will be like tossing a coin, some ppl got and some ppl pass(though i cant deny that some of the ppl simply too blinded by the bling bling of razer, neglecting those issues).

Razer BW Stealth come with brown and matte surface, thus possibly less 2 problem than normal razer(blue switch on BW is having inconsistent quality, brown may face those problem less).

BTW, afaik razer don't sell Stealth edition through distributor(at least at the moment), thus it is hard to get them in Malaysia if you dont import.

Zarmor? I think you mean Xarmor. Some ppl say the keyboard is fine and some say it sucks(mostly on keycaps issue)

Yup, Leopold no backlit model. Though, it is among the best choice if you are not despo for BL.

Can't tell which is best/worst as there isn't a guideline to rank/folo.

Though, for quality wise, we suggest you go for those well-known brand/OEM(manufacturers).
Mionix seems appealing as it's OEM is Costar(same as Filco)
Xarmor is iOne which having some bad records but some of their keyboards also quite well-made, thus cant comment much.
Razer BWU, rumor to be manufactured by iOne too(though Squarebox disagree and suggest may be Costar instead) and it is having serious QC problems. An imperfect BWU will be an eyesore to you if you are the picky type.
Deck, more to the premium/vintage brand which you pay premium price for premium quality but normal specs.
Ducky and Noppoo, China/Taiwan brand, quite experienced brands in manufacture Mech KB, but some say they also having some QC problems. Though, they offering more features such as NKRO most others above.

You mean the new Cherry Keyboard that is exclusive in China one? The one with ultra low profile that is almost flat out like scissor switch? The one that having Logitech G series keyboard looks?

It will be good for those that used to low profile keyboard but I afraid that pressing one key will also dragged the other keys below it. It will be hard to press them down deep enough.

P/S: Cant seems to dig out the picture of the keyboard. Most probably posted by Storm88/Cyclone, i forgot.

Haha, thx for the model name.
Here is the picture I googled, may be too small...


I believe color isn't the main concern as long as it is uniform.
I sure the hardest part will be drilling and shaping the keycaps. HELL jobs indeed.

Added on November 8, 2011, 10:01 pm1. Buy normal FILCO
2. Buy/paint the Golden ''FILCO''(available from the 1st gen of FILCO Majestouch)
3. Buy the yellow keycaps from KBC
4. FILCO LIMITED YELLOW EDITION, PROFIT?

2. He is comparing the mj2 with mj1. MJ1 is gold label while MJ2 is chrome/silver label.

3. Yar, KBC do make both ABS and PBT. Also, KBC ABS is much cheaper than their PBT.

4. Modding LED should be easy as just desolder 6(2x3) pins and resolder 6pins. The harder part will be sourcing LED with suitable voltage, current, resistance and most importantly the size.

Imprusible, FILCO = 100% coated pad-printed ABS, nuff said.

I thought most FPS(CS, L4D and many more) are using Ctrl as default crouch? Jumping onto higher plaform in CS = crouch + jump.

That may not necessarily be true. This is Malaysia and our products(normally) are known to be more overpriced.

Therefore, I put by bet on over RM330 RRP.

The possible causes(no offence to anyone ):
1. Dumb buyers - If one is dumb enough to pay higher, I don't think there will be seller dumb enough to reject it.
2. Greedy sellers - A thing is priced at the price the buyer willing to pay.
3. Low population in Malaysia - In China, their things(IT accessories) can be 1-4x cheaper than Malaysia, cause they having super high population.

Not the same? From the color tone of view, they looks similar to me , just the profile(curvature) and "Ninja" is different from the one you shown.

Taobao got all sorts of color PBT/ABS keys one, you just need a more throughout search. PBT should be easier finding Blank keys though.

For Filco LOGO, I once saw in GH that the mechanism behind the logo is like 2 tiny pins plugged into the keyboard frame. In other words, it is removable.

Added on November 13, 2011, 8:08 pmHmmm, colorful POM keycaps? I always thought POM only black in color. Looks alike to the semi-translucent NYLON keycaps last time.

Quite interesting or useful for those who use POS(point of sale) programmable keyboard. Squarebox had one(or some).

Here may be some source for it.

Those 123... number keys are doubleshots right?

Added on November 16, 2011, 1:32 amMost important is not not all ppl like/can accept coating/sticker on the keycaps. Personally, adding sticker onto keys do make keys feel awful...

Nope, he got it like 1/2years ago(he posted it in Mech KB v2/v1 b4).
He got it at quite a attractive price too.
