Not really recommended but it is among the cheapest option available in Malaysia, so no choice if you had no better budget or only want to test water first(though it may still not deliver what a real mechanical kb will fell, especially the solidness).

If you ever want to get it, normal edition to save yourself some problems(in case anything break down) and moneys. If you plan to resell it in future, Ultimate may had a better resale value(just based on my assumption that lots ppl out there like BL over no BL).

Try yourself then only you can find the answer.

Both Filco and Ducky are good. Just that some people claimed that Filco to be better(or even best). Conclusion is go and find it out by yourself.

Since you are that far away, I wonder do you find warranty a issue(i mean do you still need it)? If not, you can try out those China brands from taobao, some of them are pretty impressive and a lot cheaper than mainstream brands.

you can refer on GH on the idea of what exactly to be shipped around. A broken piece of pcb with different switches mounted on it.

Added on February 25, 2012, 4:05 pmcause it isn't a well known brand in Malaysia.

Realforce is seriously expensive and it is risky to ship such expensive stuff all the way to here.
Also, incase any mechanical failure(like switches), unlike Cherry switch, it isn't easy to find parts and fix it by yourself.

Added on February 25, 2012, 5:23 pmHmm, is the board still functional?
Why don't just shipping cutted 4 keys PCB like what being done in GH?
BTW, nice one there. Plate-mounted, mean nobody(unless he is despo...) will disassemble the switch unnecessarily

Hmm, is it just me or the arrow keys on your board doesn't seem to have offset problem? Filco fixed them?

BTW, RM120 should be fine as it included the key puller. Though lower price(like RM100) will make it more popular/suitable(cause the keys lack numpad, demand may be lower).

Certain batches of Filco TKL(and also CM Storm) are known to being plagued by arrow keys offset problem. Mean the keys are misaligned and off-center than what it should be. It should not affect the use of the keyboard but may affect you to insert a key-puller. Also, those perfectionists will sure mind about it, LOL.

Then, can take a macro shot at the arrow keys part? Thx.

User posted image, your image had gone missing by some mean.

Not sure if it will work with Model M but other PS/2 board(include those that adapt from USB to ps/2) work with the RM10 one(white/black colored with one side USB and another side 2 ps/2 for keyboard and mouse).

But it do cause come problem though. Recently when I test out the KRO, i found out that if I hold keys and release only one key, all keys will be unregistered. But I guess it won't affect on routine typing...

That's why I had landed my eyes on Belkin adapter from taobao for so far, but everytime I don't buy stuffs from those seller(2nd hand stuff sellers), those the postage feel not worth...

Need name out particular requirement.

BTW, I believe it isn't available locally, unless you mean the WASD+Esc keys from Filco...

LOL, all R4? Japanese layout somemore, he left out the 3 keys at bottom row.

It will cost over NYAN THOUSANDS.

LOL, JK

But seriously, it won't be cheap and sure not much people will let go of it.

The power of Otaku(blank) keycaps.

And yet no news had being heard at LYP's retailers at all.

AFAIRemember, he do sell the individual "Leopold" and "Human Esc" keys.

For full set, he do had 104 blank keys but that is as gift for early buyers(not sure now still consider "early").

It should back to your own preference, though the carmo do have multimedia shortcut over it's other siblings.

Lastly, Cherry G80-3800(aka Cherry K2.0) had landed in the market(in China).

Any whiterat?

You probably can't pop in any keys as you want, at least not for the Caps Lock. The Caps Lock is specially designed that the stem located just like the "Tab" key(instead of staying at middle like most others), LOL.



Lets wait and see if Cherry can keep out with their quality or this is simply another China made board...

I mean they off-centered in different way. Which mean not interchangeable.

Added on February 28, 2012, 11:25 amI wonder how the retail and distro things work in Malaysia. If retailers stock in at a price A(higher) and then distro say price drop to B, he "rugi" anything?

So this mean Cherry G80-3800 may land in Malaysia market?
Actually, testing or not is not the main concern. I am more interested to open and dissemble it to check the overall built of the keyboard.
