QUOTE(Human10 @ May 8 2012, 04:41 PM) 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. won't it be the same if i immediately hold 10 keys and they all register? i hold qwervnuiop and they pop out instantly on notepad... i didnt hold long enough for the repeat to kick in tho i cant do that with my keyboard as my current keyboard is only 5kro >"<

QUOTE(SetsunaFSeiei Exia00 @ May 8 2012, 04:46 PM) I have one and I've tested using Aqua's Key Test. Only 6KRO. hmmm maybe i'll go to the shop and try doing that method, or just bring the aqua keytest hard to judge just by notepad too since im not sure whether it is holding the key or not >"<

QUOTE(JohnDiew0107 @ May 8 2012, 04:55 PM) no, that's not the exact way of testing KRO. because the moment you press down all the 10 keys, there's still slight difference between each key press. Hence, the characters all shown up. electronics works in miliseconds or faster. AquaKey would do the test perfectly as you just keep pressing on the key until no further key is able to register. for example, 6KRO keyboard, you simultanously press 6keys (do not let go) and all the 6 keys still registering, but if you press the 7th key while you still holding the previous 6keys, the 7th key wont register. yea... maybe mechanical keyboard works differently since i dont exactly know how mechanical keyboard behaves, but if i were to try and press 7 keys increasingly on my rubber dome, only 6 will register if it's 6kro... if i try to press 7 at once, nothing will register, same goes for my 5kro keyboard... as soon i try to press 6 at once, nothing registers This post has been edited by x-1o8-x: May 8 2012, 05:06 PM

QUOTE(JohnDiew0107 @ May 8 2012, 05:07 PM) well, I'm not sure whether your method is correct or not.. nevertheless, I'll share my KRO test method. I'll run AquaKeyTest and then I will slowly press on 1 key by one key without letting go the key I pressed. eg: I press Z and hold it, X and hold it, C and hold it and so on....... this continues until Aqua stop getting signals. The maximum key I can hold is the KRO of the board. hmmm... maybe you can try my method too... if yours is 6 kro via usb, try pressing 7 keys simultaneously... i just tried on aqua keytest with my rubber dome, and nothing registered too

QUOTE(JohnDiew0107 @ May 8 2012, 05:24 PM) by mean of simultaneously.... did you quickly press on [insert number here] keys and let them go.... (without holding them) if yes, I afraid that is not a valid test, you need to press and hold. if holding 7keys get you registered nothing on Aqua, try reduce the number what im trying to say is that, if it doesnt register it means you can't press 7 keys simultaneously, and you won't be able to hold 7 of them either... if you can press 6 simultaneously, you can also hold 6 keys with ease that seems to be true at least for my chapalang keyboard.. maybe mechanical keyboard works differently... i don't own one yet so i can't confirm this  edit: quickfire rapid seems to be cheap... RM229 lidet... any issues so far with this keyboard?? just sad it isn't full size >"< This post has been edited by x-1o8-x: May 8 2012, 05:42 PM

QUOTE(JohnDiew0107 @ May 8 2012, 05:43 PM) language and communication barrier anyhow, testing the KRO is exactly the same no matter how chapalang or high end the keyboard is. you can still test the KRO of your rubber domes.. but definitely not the touch screen keyboard.. i see... the poison of mech kb is slowly kicking in... remembering the smoothness of each keypress.... argh >"< QUOTE(kaysa @ May 8 2012, 05:56 PM) I would suggest you get my Steelseries Full NKRO, with another RM70, but the keycaps has to go with it....  i might take that offer if i didn't have to buy the keycaps tho i'd still like blank keys  feel like ordering directly from elitekeyboard now >"<

QUOTE(kaysa @ May 8 2012, 06:57 PM) Added on May 8, 2012, 7:05 pmerm..... I think I have to sell the keyboard without the keycaps for RM350...... thats without the postage, that will probably cost around another RM50, with GdExpress. ouch... that'll be over my budget already >"< QUOTE(Human10 @ May 8 2012, 08:08 PM) If you can accept the overbranding + the rubber coating on the case + fugly fonts, then it is perfectly fine for the board.  hahaha... the only "gaming" keyboard I have so far is this joke of a zboard which I bought for RM100 from a friend... looking back, it's kinda sad, and good at the same time... i was too poor to consider an expensive keyboard, yet at the same time i saved by not spending on such "gaming" keyboard

QUOTE(Human10 @ May 8 2012, 08:20 PM) 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...  I came to realize that when I first saw 7G few years back  since then I always targeted one  i dont need fancy backlit, nor macro... i just need more kro than my fingers and fast response

QUOTE(lucidlts @ May 9 2012, 01:35 AM) normal boards from china will do then  mostly below 300, noppoo, plu, plum, etc if you're aiming for keygasm, go for better ones like filco, leopold or even realforce, hhkb @all saw this on kbt just now, zippy http://kbtalking.cool3c.com/article/58489now that going to get one, might as well target for some keygasm too  never tried topre yet, and it's unlikely I'll ever get to demo one in penang... shops sell too much razer stuffs to even consider other brands

QUOTE(lucidlts @ May 9 2012, 04:42 PM) AFAIK, any blank caps that fits on Filco 87 will fit on quickfire rapid QUOTE(JohnDiew0107 @ May 9 2012, 05:11 PM) quickfire rapid has standard layout.. hence super easy to find key caps.. thanks for the reply... kinda doubting atm since it's RM299 here, and without numpads... I use numpads to adjust volume on my foobar >"< unless there's fancy numpads that I can obtain

QUOTE(epiguru @ May 9 2012, 09:51 PM) Interested in a like-new Kinesis Low-Force Keypad? It has Cherry brown switches. I have the original packaging. Purchased in Nov 2011 because soon after purchase, I started using an IBM Model F, which I have stuck with. The Model F has its own numeric keypad. ugh... white doesn't seem to fit my layout >"<, sorry

QUOTE(Human10 @ May 9 2012, 10:27 PM) 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...  erm my numpad shortcuts are set for a preset volume, ranging from -21db till -3db, not the typical volume up/down I guess I can make the shortcut to include modifier keys, tho I'd like to skip that if possible I did some googling and found some 87 keys cherry mx keycaps sold overseas... quite nice since you can customize it to your liking too

QUOTE(Human10 @ May 10 2012, 12:22 AM) It 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. if few years is all it takes to make a keyboard go dead, i think it's quite bad  owell, i've contacted them, waiting for reply now...

QUOTE(iddeen @ May 10 2012, 04:39 AM) Tried using a mechanical keyboard , and I have to sat it's definitely different. So I was thinking of getting one. Any recommendation for the budget ones? Would there be any noticeable different between the cheap and expensive ones? Don't need any extra buttons or macro whatsoever, just a plain keyboard is nice. i'm looking for one too... i guess if you wanna go for the conventional brand, cm storm has several to choose, and steelseries,razer on the other hand, wasdkeyboards has replied me and they do provide warranty for it... but the shipping is $48.85, jeez
