Thanks for the info.

Means I have the choice to either get:

CM Storm Quick Rapid (RM250 + RM40 to remove ugly stock keycaps)
Pros:
- Costar stabilizers
- Known compatibility with Filco keycaps
- Solid build
- Local warranty

Cons:
- Fugly branding all over
- Fugly font
- Even after changing keycaps, i still have 3 huge branding, 2 of EM facing me when im using the keyboard >.< and i cant do anything about it

Archiss AS-KB87T (RM300) same as Leopold FC200R
Pros:
- Nice stock look, only Esc key is branded. Need to replace 1 piece only
- Solid build (same as leopold)

Cons:
- Cherry stabilizers
- No local warranty
- Unsure about compatibitily of key caps with Filcos. Are all keys standard types/changable?
In future i'd like to change em all to ninja or black on black caps, BUT even with CM Storm, i'll have a ninja keyboard that shouts CM STORMMMMM all the time unless i tape it up, but taping is soo tardy

If you were in my shoes, which will you take?

Thanks! Will check Cyclone's thread
In terms of build quality and longevity, should be comparable with Filco's am i right? Only major difference is the stabilizers?

CM Storm, not sure whether a custom paint job can work due to the case is rubberized

sigh... Filco no make TKL with REDSSSSSSSSSSS

i is sad. i spent like 500rmb for a imsto dyesub pbt T.T

interested with the D3 Keycaps, but dunno what price is it so dunno can afford or not yet, match my coming D3 game

but will the keycaps affect ducky's lighting in any ways? i need those backlits if typing late night with lights off

Yea.... i cant stand glossy stuff.... but my tolerance towards glossy stuff is better than rubberized stuffs....

because my palms.... automated sweat generator.....    
wa..... that's a steal!!!!!! so naise...... kai.... where you lurk so many good bargains????
can share share info next time if got good bargain????

where can i buy cherry mx switches in bulk at a cheaper price?

FUUUUU, beat his house, burn his muthar!!!!

I think I will stay immune till the PLUM96 come out, or if there is still any Filco FKB100M out there.

The Key Tronic keyboard was the original Topre switch patent owner right?
is there still any Key Tronic Topre Switch keyboard in the market or even 2nd hand market? I found some Key Tronic in E-bay, older models, made for Dell or something,
they didn't state out the keyswitch type in the specifications....... are those worth a try?

Early Topre is probably only rubber dome, don't have the spring inside. Don't think such things worth a try.

My plan is that removing the default RD membrane , plastic frame?(don't know what it call, the mounting of keys onto rubber dome's holes) and all it's other components.
The rubber dome's holes seem to be smaller than Cherry's, so we need to drill it bigger to mount the Cherry switch. Of course we need a whole new circuit and controller for it. Which make me think that Corsair had really make US hard enough by going RD.

I guess the main challenge is to make the RD holes bigger...

BTW, some random google search lead me to a internal review of it, nice.

OWAI, just realise that Corsair board is using 5pins Cherry switch instead of 3pins? Thats a rare one for a plate-mounted keyboard.

im still contemplating on buying my first mechanical kb

but still deciding between brown and black switch

definitely do not want blue switch as it is too loud ...

can anyone give me more in depth advice on whether to choose between brown and black?

from what i gather .. both brown and black is quite similar? correct me if im wrong.

basically what i want is something not too loud. i dont mind ABIT of noise but i guess my usage is in between typing (write reports/msn) and some slight gaming (Diablo3/LOL)

thanks

my friend want to get the ducky 1008 but not sure if green or black

apa ini barang? made in Malaysia???
Mechanical Keyboard? or normal one?

I want white cuz it matches with KBC PBT and POM keycaps........i can always think of crazy ideas when lurk here too much

I wonder if Edifier will stock these:

Click!

Wao, so this is the rumored revival of Filco Red Switch? I can't seem to identify anything of it different from Filco R(apart from the model number of cause)?

Hey guys, I'm using Filco Majestouch 2 and one of my friends friend is going to korea to buy some mech keyboards. Can recommend me any good keycaps from korea that suits my filco? Thanks

haha.... before i knew mech keyboards, maybe i would...
but after i knew mech keyboards and got my filco yellow.... meh~~~ cant be interested in keyboards if they ain't mechanical in the first place...     
LOL.... guess all the owners of FILCO Linear R limited editions are screaming "OH GOD!!!! WHY???????" now....
