I think I found it..... was mentioned that they use "membrane"
So it's neither I guess? lol

EDIT: after going through the design etc. I think it's a modified style of rubber dome. Finally got an answer after wondering for so many years lol.
EDIT2: seems like it's similar to topre switch
*
In fact they're all the same, the typical rubber dome

microsoft dont have any keyboard that uses topre switch..

For wood, the best wood from Malaysia Peninsular is Chenggal, if from Borneo is Belian,
they both are so tough that can sink into water immediately, once you drop it into water,
for Chenggal the fiber are very fine and dense, its color is yellow, and will change to deep red or even dark brown if exposed to sun,
and they won't rot in water even if soak in water for decades, thus Chenggal is made into boats, and ship, and harbors.
Chenggal is unique to Peninsular not found in Borneo, and Belian is not found in Peninsular Malaysia, but unique to Borneo,
for Belian, there is very rare now they forbid export from Borneo state even to West Malaysia is prohibited.
its yellow and will be turning to deep red or dark brown like Chenggal too, its fiber is dense and fine like Chenggal too,
Those are the best wood of Malaysia, or should I say best wood of tropical, even termite(white ant) do not eat them.

Teak are good to make into furniture due to it's form are unchange in condition,
it will not shrink, bent or crack even made into very thin boards, and its wooden texture are very nice to see.
but not very hard and do not have very good resistance to water.

I myself have some furniture made of Belian, Chenggal and Teak too, if there is chance, I will upload the photos of them...

If it is mention that the exotic wood, I think those 3 can be counted as exotic wood from Tropical.
they might not be so famous since tropical country do not have fine craftsmen to made them into fine furniture
like those exotic woods from China or India or Africa.
*
wow... that's quite a crash course for peninsular exotic wood

Actually I went around looking abit more after that.... the information at the v4 topic is not helpful for my keyboard. The information @ v4 is more suited to be said as switches that are available in the market rather than the type of switch manufacturing technique used. After looking around for almost an hour, I found this which gives me the most helpful information. My keyboard is using linear switch with with membrane contact mechanism (tho it's a 1 layer membrane in contact with a PCB if I remember correctly). I mentioned similar because both use membranes and spring, I didn't say it is using topre.
This line could offend people when used inappropriately which is true in my case. I wanted to learn and given the incomplete information, that's the best deduction I could do at the time. Have you even looked inside the Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro before posting?

Heck I'm not coming back after this treatment for trying to learn. At least my inferior keyboard has proven its worth by being in use for over 10 years.


Added on May 6, 2012, 9:02 pm@kaiserreich & Human10 thanks for the info.
@JohnDiew0107 as I said similar.
Btw I don't think my switch for each key can be removed individually.
*
chill bro, sorry if any of us offended you.

Indeed the information you searched from the deskthority wiki is more informative than what we have here.

I'm rather interested to know when you stated that your Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro uses membranes and spring. Got pictar?

Because we're in doubt that keyboard has spring under the rubber dome.

is das ultimate no good?

you can check out our forummer Cyclonechuah's sales thread. He's bring in Leopold boards with free black key caps set.

DAS ultimate isnt that bad... but I wouldn't recommend it for the reason:
- glossy body (you need to wipe it everyday, a little bit scratch = gg.com)
- no distri in Malaysia (hard to find, if import, warranty is big problem)
- don't have many switch selection (leopold has all 4 types of switches)

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 >"<

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 at once 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
*
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
*
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 tongue.gif
*
language and communication barrier tongue.gif

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..

will the price of the original Topre realforce key caps reach RM300?

if so, RM900+- for realforce is quite self-explanatory...
