Shell replacement is a new thing in the market, currently not much manufacturer or maker made it.

The thing recently hyped around here is the acrylic cases by MKC, which is mean for FILCO. Not very sure if CM Storm can be stuffed in. We need an owner with both boards to compare the dimension of it to be sure.

Most mechanical keyboard suffer failure(if any) when they come DOA. If it works normally in 1-2 weeks time, it should work normally for the rest of its time.

All cherry MX keycaps are compatible and swappable as long as it's profile is right.

Yup, they exist. Even still available in global.pchome few months ago.

Now probably need to check if keyboardco still having any.

Now is still collecting numbers stage, haven reach the payment stage. So you can express your interest here if you want(and willing to pay for it )

Yar, will fit both Storm and Ducky.

Good news, PBT fullset for 150RMB(not sure if true).

P/S: Heard that the actual reason behind the price drop is that sooner there will be competition coming out, they drop the price to attract back customer, TROLOL.

Then you took moar poison from GH?

Dyesub PBT is in different league. Firstly it is white PBT(harder to make) and it is dye-sub(pricier).

Wah, you had a keyboard friend in Taiwan or you had a Taiwan keyboard friend?

Taiwan having the cheapest price I saw so far.
If not, try to grab those cheapo brands from taobao and disassemble the switches...

There is also bigass layout and normal ANSI layout available.

If you are in charge of some famed tech websites, then you can probably request for some.

Why buy it where there is better and cheaper option out there?

Added on April 11, 2012, 8:41 pmCorsair K60, even more overpriced in Malaysia(in US it cost only 80USD, which is around RM250 only...)

BTW, Corsair K60 doesn't get much attraction here because we hate it as it is a mechanical mix rubber dome keyboard...

CM Storm Trigger, just being launched not too long ago. Probably will take another few more months to reach Malaysia judging based on last time the time for CM Storm Quickfire to enter Malaysia.

BTW, that keyboard still lack of enough information for us to decide if it is a good buy. The basic part is that it is made and designed and marketed as GAMING KEYBOARD(1000hz polling rate, 6 anti-ghosting(we call 6KRO here), braided cable, rubberised bla bla bla).

The remaining part is that we are currently unsure who is the OEM(maker) of the keyboard. There is 2 rumors out there, some said iOne(same manufacturer with Razer BW) and some said Costar(the one who made FILCO and CM Storm Quickfire).

Costar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>(better than) iOne

Probably yes. But they also directly killed lots potential buyers.

It is acceptable also but it is overpriced plus the BIGASS layout is not desired to most people.

Both, the "Enter" key is BIG reversed "L" instead of normal "-" we met on most local keyboards.

Accompanied by it, SS7G is having a small Backspace while 6GV2 is having a shorter right shift(and it can be affecting your input as you most probably get used to "?" key directly beside Shift).
