think of those vintage Cherry DS with ABS Shine

people aint electronics or machines... you'll hardly notice the response rate between USB and PS/2....

they gives the USB to PS/2 adapter for the keyboard to achieve NKRO.

for instance, Ducky 9008S only can achieve 6KRO with USB, but with the adapter they can achieve NKRO.

Why they don't make it PS/2 directly? Simple, PS/2 starting to disappear from motherboards

Why they don't make USB NKRO? well.. cut cost or whatsoever... ask their R&D and marketing department. Although I think it won't be so expensive... (anyone can clarify?)

better send for warranty... voiding it ain't fun..

sad to say that... it might not even become something really legend... (dragon breath LED... zzz)

unlike Filco Linear R... (MX red on filco, but wait.. regular reds coming soon?)

agree.. I'd rather have a uniform switch weight rather than ergonomic weighted...

Did you know that corsair K60 and K90 are not full mechanical keyboard? means some of the keys are still using rubber dome switches... especially their whole top ESC row.

Human10 also pointed out it's selling around USD80.. true story bro, Corsair K60 and K90 is way overpriced in Malaysia. Distributors are playing games here, not all those tax or whatsoever.

conclusion?
1. not full mechanical (hybrid? this is bad hybrid IMO)
2. pricey (almost the same price range as other mechanical keyboard such as leopold or ducky? see option 1)

well it really depends on how you use the board...

I dont find the keys fade that easily tho... but you know we're comparing amongst mechanical keyboards they're considered fast

yes, they are... grab them while there's still stocks left

hoho computex

ducky gals

Well... he's talking about the gals.. not the boards they're holding

His shop located at sri kembangan - http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj13/skcs1985/map-2.jpg

by the way.... lowyat.net and plaza low yat has not inter-relationship....

if you can go there... you already have the advantage of trying out the keyboards before buying...

unlike some of us who have to rely on friends, internet and postage to get mech kb

there's a few options need to be clarified.

First, backlight and PBT keys do not come in a set because PBT plastic is not translucent, hence you can only choose whether to have PBT key caps or ABS key caps (backlit capable).

Second, most of the boards comes with ABS key caps. Board makers rarely put PBT key caps on their board natively. Unlike Ducky 9008G2 PBT edition and the coming 9008G2pro PBT edition. BUT, you can always purchase PBT key caps from Taobao or any other sources (although mostly need import) no choice wha..

Third, regarding the Ducky's cable routing problem, that design is indeed stupid. but if you don't use that feature, performance wise, their boards are quite good.

Below is my recommendation for you based on your requirements, the final choice in on yours (critics from others are welcomed as well =D)

If you go for PBT key caps:
- Filco Majestouch 2 (buy PBT caps)
- Leopold FC500R (buy PBT caps)

- Buy from Taobao along with PBT key caps

- Ducky 9008G2 PBT edition (going EOL)
- Ducky 9008G2pro PBT edition (not available yet)

If you go for Backlit:
- CM Storm Trigger (heard they're good)
- Ducky 9008S

PLUM 104MX Cherry Red is selling at RM200+- shipped from China.. and yes, it is a mechanical keyboard

Thermaltake Challenger series ain't mechanical, they're gaming keyboard™ by marketing people, with lots of features and blings.

Thermaltake Meka series is mechanical.


Seriously, price doesn't justify whether it's mechanical keyboard or not...

From your words, they clearly shows you've done your homework, just some minor minor details error don't worry we're all learning.

Well, regarding the spacebar compatibility problem.. Leopold is the one who has problem.. whereas Filco and Ducky doesn't have that problem.

so far, most of the after-market spacebars could fit both standard and leopold's

Whether Ducky's Cherry stabilizer or Filco's Costar stabilizer... it's a matter of personal preference, some prefer costar's, some prefer cherry's

It's up to you bro

Ducky Shine would be the perfect choice.

*ps: dude, you need study more on razer bwu

you'll appreciate how solid other boards are

If you list out your requirements such as budget, what type of switch preferred, backlit or no backlit, and etc, many sifus here are willing to help you tho..

Ducky Shine fits all your requirements lol

Somemore got free leather wrist rest..

not sure lol... any news?

Better? see how you define the term

key cap durability of course PBT is better than ABS.. but mind you that ABS is capable of backlit option.

of course ABS is cheaper than PBT..

after all it's all about personal preference, some prefer ABS feel, some prefer PBT...
