Topre's stuffs are rare. Thus it is costly. Try compare with EK's price?

doesnt matter, its kalerful

Hello..

I am new to mechanical keyboard, i would like to ask some pro here on how to clean the switches. Mine seems to be stuck after i accidentally drop the ashtray onto the keyboard. I there any tips or info that i need to know on how to deep clean the switch? I've already tried on the GH forums, but still i dont understand on how to do it. My english is bad and there are no pictures on how to do the cleaning.

ciggie ashes stuck inside the switch?

Most people will suggest clean it with solvent(water if you dare, if not some high concentration alcohol), the whole board including the switches and PCB.
Just remember to let it completely dried off then only connect the circuit and it will be fine.

It should be ok. The spanthor is quite a reputable seller in Taobao. And saw his packaging in China forums, FUUU, dam scary thick and nice.

thick and heavy u mean??? its gonna cost more on shipment!

aluminium shell with transparent keycaps.. OMG!!! taobao now!!

Am stuck with an overly long Topre spacebar! Black spacebar on Pink keys Ewwwwwww

You want something cost over RM300 to arrive safely in one piece or multiple pieces.
BTW, it is thick, not going to be heavy. For shipping keycaps, the actual weight will never reach 1kg. It is the volumetric weight that matter more. But even so, there will not be a 1kg volumetric weight keycaps.

Added on April 20, 2012, 1:28 amThere isn't any alu shell version. They announced a total of 3 models(the backlit one probably isn't mechanical, so effective models are 2).

BTW, I will buy the keyboard, for the sake of a compatible Caps Lock on my Cherry G80-3800.
That strange layout, a combination of SS7G(more to Plum) enter and BackSpace, Razer style bottom rows(actually it is 1.25x modifier instead of 1.5 on Razer, thus you are expecting a looooooooong spacebar...) and also IBM style Caps Lock. Me not sure if gusta.

Odditiest(over most OEM boards) found so far.
Caps Lock - Cherry G80-3800 standard(also IBM's model M standard)
Spacebar - 7x long spacebar(sort of vintage standard, still can be found from GH SP's GB)
Window and Menu - Razer/iOne's standard, 1x size
Enter and BackSpace - SS7G's standard

The video by Undarken right? That is for PCB mounted keyboard, not possible on plate-mounted(your keyboard).

My keyboard is Filco.. i dont know if its PCB or Plate

Plate mounted.

Wtf keycaps layout
People buying this keyboard gonna stuck with 1 set of keycaps

the font is very oddy also

have a similar looks like Razer BWU keycap fonts aside from the R

Hey sifus, I wanna ask which one you guys prefer
Ducky Shine v.s Razer B.W
for frequent gaming + A LOT of typing.
Is brown any good?
Do both of them come with choices for the switches?
