IMO back lit is also a distractions if your screen is close to the keyboard.....
even wordings are somehow distracting, I think that's why Topre has black on dark gray keycaps on dark gray keyboard.

And btw, cyclone, how are the enquiries? are you able to get those Realforce "Silent" and color keycaps or not?
you have to let me know the full price earlier, I can't spare that much money on short notice......

i counter your statement.
It backlit will only affect the screen when the brightness of the leds is high.
Say Ducky 9008Shining, users can select the comfort brightness which would not reflected on the screen.

another problem for the backlit keycaps, they are coated with a layers of paint and the ligthing part is drilled away,
so that the part are light transparent, so when the part other than the wording wares off, the part become transparent too,
the light will come through. that make the keycaps look Fugly.

If a keycaps are not backlit, the inside and outside of the keycaps are same color,
so as it worn down, the color wouldn't be much different.

painted keycaps are not drilled, they are being laser engraved
Actually you need not to worry too much about the paint worn off. It won't wear off easily, unless you are a very sweaty, oily and doesn't maintain your keyboard at all. Then that's another story

Don't makes painted keycaps looks ugly. Every keycap does has a lifespan which applies to ABS, cured ABS, POM or PBT as well

You are right, sorry for misleading comments, every keycaps will weares off, unless you do not use it.
just what I mentioned are relatively, and by comparing, wearing off is an issue for every type of keycaps.

Can try GS, saw a couple of Ducky Shines for sale. G2 however, don't see anyone selling it at the moment.
The G2 Pro is called G3? Priced around RM350+- right?

btw,
I'm thinking to design a keyboard by my ownself.

Imagine o, what condition, with what kind of features, quality you'll buy a custom built brand?

I mean, generally, what you guys normally look at for a mechanical kb?

we not free Leather wristrest la. But a plastic one. Good news is, the re-designed wrist rest will be produced locally instead of previous stupi-dupi HK based factory (which one of the major factor caused the serious delay of the free wrist rest)

Local supplier told us it will be on production in less than two weeks time. p/s: tat factory can do PBT Keycaps as well, provided IF we have the injection mold...

You should direct your inquiries to the plastic factories.
Looking at least few hundred K since they won't do small volume anyway.

Well, mold engraving is not REALLY NOT cheap...
However i do have a CNC machine which means i can do the CNC milling myself, but the thing is, the metal used for engraving is $$$...

Actually.. it isnt that expensive.
The mold itself is just a few K, perhaps around RM5-8k.
The injection machine rental, depends on the quantity. The fewer quantity the more expensive it becomes. But for large quantities (lets say 100k sets) might cost u less than RM5 per set after factoring in the initial cost of the mold? (im guess guesstimating)
The secondary process to make the letters cost depends on the type of lettering. Pad printing of course is cheap. But not sure for laser engraving though.

So yeah, it is quite cheap tongue.gif
*
in fact, say for top and bottom mold set engrave for 108 Keysets, it costs below RM1k. But the CNC milling fees isnt cheap, where the most % in a single charge went to.

Well, now i wont ask the factory to quote me how the charges go. I need to get the wristrest ready first hand biggrin.gif

So this parcel come in this morning, and opened it.
trusted seller, warping the parcel with many layers of bubble warps......
WTF so many layers of protections still can knock a dent on the corner of the box???
how did they deliver this?

And there is another box in the parcel! A set of orange keycaps for it!
but..... it lack the number pad keys, because I do not need them for my 87 keys keyboards,
I ask the seller to take them out and sell them separately and give me discount  notworthy.gif
The seller give me RMB 200 discount on that  tongue.gif

So here is the keyboard itself, the 10th anniversary Realforce,
it's 2nd batch, so you can see there is no 10th anniversary logo at the top right corner......

btw the LED light is Red, I will upload some photo of it later. maybe with the orange keycaps on.

I m typing on it right now biggrin.gif Low-noise, it feel like red switch, much smoother and softer compare to the HHBK Pro 2,
if I would describe it with comparison to cherry switches, the HHKB Pro 2 is like brown mx switches, and the low-noise version is like the red switch.......

the keycap color so "lovely" wub.gif

Zowie Gear is not really popular here in Malaysia, they've sponsored TeamLZ in tournaments but still unable to compete with brands like Steelseries and Razer, probably due to brand recognition. But the comparison between Zowie Gear and Ducky is always based on own personal opinions. In fact, Zowie has more products than Ducky, hard to tell which one they are actually focusing on. Ducky specializes in mech keyboards only right?  icon_rolleyes.gif

Ducky indeed just manufacture Mks. Meanwhile Zowie has more choices.
