i don't think the switches are gold plated, unless someone disassemble it and prove that i'm wrong 
marketing gimmicks i'd say.



It reaches me yesterday actually, just got my cable back for transferring photos from my phone.
If you ask me, i'd prefer linear switch more because i don't like the bump. personal preference, that's all
Also, Original Red is now on numlock and /, so i hope the next guy will enjoy it, so does the others in the sink list after him.
And the picture... that's my desk, since I don't travel a lot and not wanting to take the tester and let it fall into the lake 

well... this is to increase our 'comrades"....
 

we need to breed, that's how nature works. hehehe

Btw, PLUM keyboard is quite nice for that price actually.

Another PLUM owner
If u take a close look on its case, it looks pretty much like the case for deck legend.
Also, I've came up with something which is pretty stupid:
why did they use the name PLUM?


This is plum


This is the familiar looking one, cherry

Or am I thinking too much? 

同刻 top engraved
侧刻 side engraved
正刻 ?????

could 正刻 be blank?

i see

then what is 同刻? blank or engraved on both sides?

I think this Chinese clarification is abit confusing, it mentioned only 2 kind of 同刻 existed which is black and white.
But there is also rainbow 同刻, and other color 同刻, and he uses the word 印刷, meaning printing, 刻meaning carve/engrave,
Printing are meaningless if the ink used is same with the base color.

but he got a point right which mentioning the color of the keycaps and the lettering are same color.
the last line are most confusing,
mentioned: if seen from afar have the effect of 同刻, and seen near will be able to differentiate.....

I can't translate that......I don't even know what it mean.

Cool info!
But does it have different effect if the material is different? (pom, abs, pbt)

pokai liao

lurk in taobao, end up getting silver zinc R1 keycaps and kbc yellow keycaps

OMFG...

You're trying to kill me.. 

by the way, I think someone is bringing in aluminium base for Poker, saw the namelist at GH

Having second thoughts about that.
Just blew a ton of money on this 

If you don't know what's that, the keycaps says a lot
Alu case pure expected to go for about RM550 and above for brown switch type.
If you want that Canadian made Poker case, I suggest you get it, unless you absolutely want a CNC'ed case.

How expensive is the shipping rate for taobao?

It's a Cheat/CMA

As to the case, yes you can get acrylic done, but you need to measure everything and maybe some prototypes.
The main issue is having the measurements and finding people to do it.

Not a fan of Alu+acrylic combo, but you can get it done, then an all acrylic version shouldn't be that hard.

where to get it??

waiting for cash to pile up again... cant spend too many at one time... will definitely die....

What are those?!

I have one silly question tho... I've being wondering the coloured WASD key caps of my 9008G2 is PBT or ABS.. hard to tell due to their coloured nature.

in fact the anodized surface is awesome to touch.... like those textured brand new key caps... and they won't shiny as fast as plastic... which means, everyday day feel brand new..

Anyone know a good Korean proxy to get Milestone wrist rests?

any thing near a i-mac bluetooth keyboard?
My brother have one, and I am using it now.

uhhh.....alu keycaps? this is pure k/b porn
i knew should not have even take a peek in this thread. gawd~~
