Collection huh? You will need no other keyboard after you get a topre switch, that's how I feel now sweat.gif

I m selling off my other keyboards, and if I successfully sell all, I will be getting a Realforce full size hmm.gif

which one you planing to get ? icon_idea.gif  brows.gif

bro, you're the 2nd people that i saw first get into mech with cherry mx switches, then test almost all of them, and lastly tried ONE Realforce and the end result?
Sell off all cherry mx switches and on the way to get another RF.....

BTW, I not almost test them all, I really tested them all, cherry MX that can be get anyway.
Those rare Green switch, yellow switch, white switch, orange switch, and such I never tried.

For Topre Switch, Try it and you will know.  brows.gif
It doesn't necessary meant that Topre switch is the best of all,
but it suit me the best and also it is completely different from other,
so I found it hard to coup with other switches, when I switching around different keyboards,
that will make me felt awkward for some time before I get used to it.
Maybe some people are able to switching between different switches easily, but not me.

So I decide to keep only my HHKB for general typing, chatting and uses,
and the Leopold Red switch, for my Diablo 3 game, Diablo 3 keycaps and other keycaps modding. thumbup.gif

if i got the cash and chance... i think i will try 'em RF.... but one thing i can say, not now though.... sweat.gif sweat.gif

Try 3496? Red switch and NKRO for only 600rmb.


Added on May 3, 2012, 5:18 pm
May be just a early marketing prototype. Also I rather stuff on normal DCS profile keys onto the board, it felt much better.
The only incompatible key is the caps lock, which I am waiting for BenQ's K890 caps lock for sale separately....
*
the 3496 is made for KBC right? what's the difference between 3494 and 3496? one is made in Germany/Czech and the other in China?
both are NKRO right? hmm.gif

I thought USB nkro version of plu87 is pricier. Also I don't see a reason that 21kro isn't enough, lol...

That isn't ss7g, that is a board by costar, its other clone brothers are tt meka g1, wasd keyboard and even the backlit mionix zibal 60.


Added on May 5, 2012, 4:28 pm
nope, both from Czech. Just that 3496 is having nkro for all switches variants, unlike 3000. The exterior different is lack of cherry logo printing on the case.

Yar, 3494 also nkro, but much pricier.
*
oh, then the 3496 is a better bargain? thumbup.gif

Just some basics.
for these kind of things, You need to touch the real thing feel them,
even work with them to know the real deal.

My grand father is a carpenter, My father learn alot from him,
and he made some of our own furniture, so I learn some from him.

and I made my own arm rest for my HHKB. although it look extremely bad and cheap looking @@

O.O.... now i learnt something on woods.... thanks for the info.... notworthy.gif
QUOTE(scaler @ May 6 2012, 08:58 PM)
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.

EDIT: at least not with the tools I have or with the risk of losing my keyboard.
*
@scaler, i think kaysa is so "excited" because he just got a HHKB which uses topre switch and you told him that you think your membrane keyboard is a topre board sweat.gif
well, i think if im in your shoes, with that amount of knowledge, i would conclude the same too.... laugh.gif

similar != same
In this sense similar materials used rather than the design as a whole.

@rurushu I couldn't open the required area, only can see slightly from the side. Microsoft seems unwilling to have their toys taken apart. So I can't risk it... I only cleaned with moist cloth and blow in with my air pump during cleaning.

@JohnDiew0107 the spring not under the dome, that's for sure. But I can't remember the exact set up either, I only opened it once and that's more than half a year ago.

It uses quite a few of what seem to be flex cables (similar to those used in flip phones etc), and I can be quite clumsy at times lol. That's why don't want to risk it.

P.S came back out of boredom....
P.P.S I was worried that people might misunderstand me so I included "similar" but.....

dont worry, im also a noob a few months ago laugh.gif laugh.gif

why is that so??

well, mainly because most people here would go either brown (the most common) or blue... now slowly adapting to reds.... black maybe still due to the strong actuation force.... hmm.gif

Not necessary need 7G.... if you want, you can get a filco or ducky, then buy blank keycaps....

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.

But it's backlit ability is 1st and unmatched in the market. Lets wait and see if the combination of BL ability(blink/press and shine) + Dragon year limited edition is enough to justify the high price.

but those skeptical at geekhack mentioned that the press and shine is kinda err.... useless...
and after i thought of it, i also agreed with them, and hopefully it can do "all lights up, when press, goes off, and then slowly lights up again"... then it would be thumbup.gif thumbup.gif
