nope, Leopold fc500r having over 18kro under USB.

If that board is sold out, then try ducky g2 or g2 pro. They have USB nkro(mac incompatible though) too.

Probably won't, the durability of them(6GV2 and 7G) are quite good. In fact it is even "truck"-proof.

You should learn about a thing that in those gaming brands world, it is highly possible that they actually use different OEMs for different products. A good OEM is can assure a more trustable quality.

Nope. In fact even printed keys for SS7G/6GV2 are already hard/rare to be found due to the oddity at the backspace, Enter, \| and right shift.

Best way to check them if no aquakeytest is by pressing down and hold keys one follow by one, 6KRO should mean you can continue to register strokes till the 7th keys it failed and it will continue repeating the 6th keys.

If you can accept the overbranding + the rubber coating on the case + fugly fonts, then it is perfectly fine for the board.

Added on May 8, 2012, 8:11 pmTake a look at GH, here or taobao if anything interesting going on.
Taobao's price is normally cheaper and more choices especially keycaps part(KBC is based in China).
Or if you having any friends in Taiwan, armygroup and Inpad are also good choices.

Gaming keyboard is a joke and gimmicks, while Mechanical keyboard isn't and is serious business.
A mix of both may be consist of both...

CM Quickfire have Multimedia keys, which include adjusting volume IIRC.

Added on May 9, 2012, 10:30 pmNice stuff you have there. The one more commonly found is the Goldtouch, which having the weird 00 keys...

Pratically impossible. There are lots and lots of models/brands out there, and each dealers selling different prices, hard to quantize them all...

Heard that it is due to the property of the dome. Hard to make domes with all having exactly the same stiffness. The rating on the specs is +/-15g...

But another variant of the kinesis/goldtouch(named "generic" keypad from a HK ebay seller) are even a better choice, it is having a Space key on the keypad, TROLOL.

Added on May 10, 2012, 12:26 amIt is all backdown to your luck. But basically, a working keyboard out of board will remaing working for a long time(few years). A random dead when using is rare to occur.

Actually, as long as there isn't any physical damage or burned controller or matrix, mechanical should be easily fix/repairable.

Mech KB with integrated arm rest is rare(wait for Ducky Shining's Wristrest may be?).

Have a check if CM Storm Trigger fit your taste then.

The wristrest I stated in previous post is a intergrated wrist rest like SS7G style, ask Storm88 for details, as that is what we heard so far.

If you want cheaper options, taobao having much more choices.

Undeniable, hands on experience is the most important factor than all technical specifications and so on, good luck in your search.

But it's backlit ability is 1st and unmatched in the market. Lets wait and see if the combination of BL ability(blink/press and shine) + Dragon year limited edition is enough to justify the high price.

Added on May 10, 2012, 2:02 pmGood that you know...

Added on May 10, 2012, 2:06 pmNope, not all keycaps are the same, in fact keycaps market is more serious business than mechanical kb itself.

It is back down into 3 main categories:
Height(profile), materials and printing.

Height most normally we saw DCS profile, but even the same DCS profile, you will find different manufacturer using different height.

Materials we normally saw 3 types of plastic, namely ABS, PBT and POM. ABS is the "weakest" and most common one found almost on every keyboard(and your LEGO, LOL). PBT and POM are harder than ABS, but PBT is more popular due to its texture and feel much better to be used as keycaps.

Printing methods are a long story, go google/GH it is faster than I type WOT here...

Buying things in taobao doesn't need any group buy. You just go search for the things you want, go find a taobao agent in LYN subforum, then pay your money and you are done.

FYI, the ABS blank keycaps will cost around RM30 and shipping probably took another RM10. It is recommended to purchase other misc. along as you had paid for 1kg worth of postage, while the keycap definitely not even reach 500g.

If you want PBT keycaps, it will require some efforts to search for it though. The price is estimated at around RM120+/- IIRC.

Added on May 10, 2012, 11:07 pmStill more like a gimmick to be than real practical...

Mouse switch are normally less than 1mm travel, while cherry's mx switch's travel is minimum 2mm. Not too practical IMO.

LOL, from QTAN...

Seriously, his items all get from China, and his price/postage isn't anywhere cheap either. He is more on doing business on westerner, where they can't or much pricy get stuffs from taobao.

For us, we can get some of those things at almost half of the price if we get it directly from taobao(even count in international shipping + agent's commission, still much cheaper).

P/S: Another seller is feng(in GH). He is from China too IIRC. He also get his stuffs from taobao/China and sell it for profits, but his price is still in the range of acceptable.

P.P/S: I know that sellers sell for profit, but too much profit is simply a rip-off...

Ok. BTW, the cheapest price for them I saw in TB b4 is 100RMB, which translate into around RM60.

BTW, the KBC Rainbow POM is even better looking.

Some interesting stuffs.

Bro, the thing is made in Japan.

Somemore any man with sense will know that there is practically no market for a not fullsize + plain looking keyboard cost over RM1k in Malaysia...
