i think they do or i might be wrong. you can try to ask kEazYc, i remember he got a full set of blank caps from wasd last time

from what i see, keycaps alone is around $80... I thought it's going to be cheaper lol

Those are ABS! Get my PBT better la!
got 7G some more....

btw, if I keep on promoting my keyboard here, will I get banned @@

@kaysa - I like your experiments with Malaysian 1 sen coins - makes it more local

Not sure if you have already read this thread: http://goo.gl/35zel

To cut a long story short, there is a theory that the rubber domes stiffen over time... like bicycle tyres. If true, this is not good news for owners of Topre switch keyboards.

Got my RGB modifier keycaps from wasdkb

they do ship to msia

@Human10 - Yeah, that was exactly the reason why I didn't get a Goldtouch. I knew that the 00 key would drive me insane. This Kinesis numpad is what I consider a standard layout. It has also got independent Num Lock function, which was a big deal for me when I was using the Model M SSK. Not many USB numeric keypads on the market have independent Num Lock.

i see....

hmm since you order keycaps alone, i guess warranty isn't an issue... im wondering how will i settle the warranty coverage in case i got unlucky >"<

Ya I read that article before, but this 2nd hand HHKB I got is from 2006, which is 6 years ago.
IMO the stiffening is not as much as the one that they experimenting....
but I haven't try all keys yet, so can't be sure of that, and my scale are not the professional one,
that might not be accurate, just wait till I get something more accurate and test it out.
The A key and Fn key are most often used key in that post's opinion, but the A key on mine are not that much different,
if it is a 55g 6 years ago..... but if it is a 45g 6 years ago, then it has a 11gms different in between 6 years.

all in all, that the 1cents might not be accurate as well as the scale might not be accurate too.
We do not have a conclusion yet.

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.

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...

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

any mechanical keyboard(brown) with arm rest to recommend?
something like meka g1 or 7G but with cherry brown

what is wrist rest in chinese? i want to find a few in taobao

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.

interested on ducky dk1008(no backlight, marco or whatsoever), great kb come with a cheap price. but the arm rest is kinda "external" right..
many complain that black needs more force than red/brown in order to register the key, will pay a visit to a shop and try either black is suit me, if it does, hehe... more choices to make

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.

is having a numpad switches try program actually, if you can queue and willing to spend few ringgits(for shipping), you may ask him for details.

eh?! the new ducky shining wrist rest would be like SS7G????
if that's the real deal... then...

Wonder If have a picture if it?

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
