yar, some even pure USB without ps2 support.

I don't see any flaw with the USB + ps2 adapter combo.

just a personal preference... i'd prefer if the connector isn't too long tongue.gif

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

thanks... pm'ed already...

another quick question just for verification purpose... is it hard to type normally on a black switch keyboard? i like the feel of it, but haven't try typing with it on a regular basis...

also would it be good for quick taps (like o2jam tapping)?

a USB to ps2 adapter is just around 4cm long, won't affect much...

The worst is just using the USB port, as Leopold already having high kro under USB.
*
hmm isn't it 6kro? 6kro not enough for me >"<

cyclonechuah no longer selling black switch >"<

nope, Leopold fc500r having over 18kro under USB.

If that board is sold out, then try ducky g2 or g2 pro. They have USB nkro(mac incompatible though) too.
*
i can't seem to find black switch for ducky...

leopold still available in black from other seller i think, just no free blank caps... cyntrix also sold out de aih... roughly how much is the blank caps yea?

i not sure about that. maybe the stiffness of the switches perhaps?
if you need MX Black, i think at most you can get with Steelseries
*
thought of 7G too... thought of getting the promo buy 1 free 1, not sure still have or not... but i start to worry about steelseries... my current steelseries keyboard sucks in terms of durability, and i dont want my first mechanical keyboard to suffer the same fate

QUOTE(rurushu @ May 7 2012, 10:35 PM)
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
*
hmmm.... personal preference i guess... i hate the clicking sound... and i liked the feel of 7G when I tried it...

hi, what is yr current sttelseries keyboard?
*
zboard... well the keyboard itself is fine... but the chip always go faulty, resulting the key being unable to register... got so pissed i took out the chip and use it like a normal keyboard

QUOTE(Human10 @ May 7 2012, 11:01 PM)
Probably won't, the durability of them(6GV2 and 7G) are quite good. In fact it is even "truck"-proof.

You should learn about a thing that in those gaming brands world, it is highly possible that they actually use different OEMs for different products. A good OEM is can assure a more trustable quality.

makes sense... btw, are there blank keycaps for 7G?

Nope. In fact even printed keys for SS7G/6GV2 are already hard/rare to be found due to the oddity at the backspace, Enter, \| and right shift.

hmmm... I guess that's the downside.... falling in love with leopold now the more i see it... especially with blank keycaps drool.gif

i dont like wrist rests... filco is quite expensive from what i see... but, what's their kro on usb? 6?

its 300 only, but you need to buy the keycaps together @@ unless someone get the keycaps first.
see my signature for the stuffs.

Price can nego la, since we are in same topic now,
and I see you have a lot PVC models too, I m a collector of PVC girl figures.
Have some limited edition stuffs, someday can show you see if you are interested to get from me or not. brows.gif

from your siggy i noticed you also have leopold fc500r red switch... may i know your opinion on red switch against black? tongue.gif

Actually what is your budget for your first mechanical keyboard? There are a lot of Filco with good price in Garage Sales if you don't mind a second hand unit. tongue.gif

around 300++ would be good... that's part of the reason i was targeting 7G, since i saw a promotion at a local store, buy 1 free 1

one filco that caught my attention is the ninja... mainly because it's almost blank tongue.gif

7G is my first Mechanical keyboard, 2nd is Filco, 3rd is Leopold, then one of those strange keyboard from 1988, and finally a CdPro2
Main different of red and black is the key press  weight, the black is 55g force, red is 45g, correct me if I m wrong,

I found that the Black is heavier than my level of comfort typing, but I think it is better in gaming,
I have less mistake in gaming when using 7G than the red switch Leopold, Might be the reason I m using USB for Leopold,
but P/S2 for 7G.... not sure.

The overall performance, durabilities and built of 7G is Guaranteed, hence the price tag is above Filco, Leopold and Das,
the only shortcoming is that the keycaps are difficult to find replacement.

But my sale are include of the replacement keycaps as well, so there is nothing holding it back, just my commercial promoting line.  icon_rolleyes.gif
On complete other elements:
I have a shining wind PVC Clalaclan Bikini edition, maybe you know what that mean....  sweat.gif
and have some Chobits stuffs, some Hentai stuffs, some Ecchi stuffs, a Air-gear Ringo Pinky, a Tsuki Hime Alucard pinky.
and more, total around 80 pcs of collections sweat.gif most of them are out of the box, but some are MISB also.

Let me know your collection direction, and I will post some images...
*
wow, thanks for the clarification... in your experience and and from what you heard from others, do you often hear people saying that they 7G keycaps need to be replaced due to faulty/defect etc etc? btw, Not sure how I feel regarding the rainbow keycaps... it's just too... colorful sweat.gif

I have some list of what figures I want here
i suppose for shining series, I'd like kureha & xiao mei... I like tony taka's artwork, and only a handful of figures were able to live up to my expectations sadly tongue.gif

QUOTE(kaysa @ May 8 2012, 10:45 AM)
lol, there had not been even one person telling me that their keycaps need to be replace, but for my own I feel like replacing, since they are ABS,
I do not have much love for ABS keycaps, so I got myself a set of PBT when some of the original ABS are slightly worn.
the colorful thingy is personal preference, but to be honest, the one I thought I ordered is slightly darker in tone,
but they sent this one, But it kinda look good to so I didn't complain, and after uses for quite sometime,
it sink in to me, I feel that it is a good color now....

So like I say, the original ABS keycaps are slightly worn, I suggest buyer get the PBT keycaps together with the keyboard.

For my PVC figure collections, Its spontaneous, or impulsive buy for most of them,
some I like the figure because I like the story of the characters,
many of them have very striking appearances and designs, and when I first saw them online or on the shop display shelf, sweat.gif
I grab them.... because I missed several and they are all non-reproduction items, I do not want to miss one that I regret later.
but ever since I stuck in this Mecha Keyboard Hell, I stop going through those PVC stuffs,
and most of my "investment" went the keyboard and keycaps. whistling.gif
*
I see... haha I guess it's personal preference since I prefer black color tongue.gif... and I like it even more when I saw a totally blank keycaps keyboard... however I guess from my POV, I will only be buying one mechanical kb, so I guess there's no need to worry of upgratitis, and that if possible, I want the first purchase to be the last too tongue.gif, I guess that's why I'm making some research first...

do you have like a list of figures for me to see? who knows there might be one that'll interest me... you can pm me the list so it doesn't go too off topic tongue.gif

Haha, you can only dream to stop at first mechanical keyboard.
You think  you can stop at first PVC figure collection?
making research will not help, unless your research involving typing the keyboard switches,
find a place where they have all kind of switches, and try them all, that won't do the trick too,
be cause even same switches in different brand feels different because the built and materials,
quality control, and designs are differ. and when you go down the road of Keycaps mods,
there is more hell waiting. PBT, ABS, POM, Metal, just wait until you sink deeper into this keyboard hell.

I m not into trading or selling my pvc collection just yet, I would love to sell some just to make some space,
but I m need to sort out what I really have, I only displaying them in a cabinet and some are piling up against one another...
I will post up to the collectible or model sale/trading section when the time is right, you can see them when the topic are up.
*
LOL well, thankfully blank keycaps are what interest me most... yeah my research will also involve actually typing on the keyboard itself... I liked how 7G & 6Gv2 felt, and I hate how blackwidow felt... so far that's about the only keyboards i've tried... penang dont have many mechanical keyboards seller sad.gif

keyboard aren't like figures... figures are to be displayed, but keyboards are meant to be used... even 2 keyboards right now i find very annoying (one usb, 1 ps/2 for the sake of gaming)... I hate the feeling of the slim ps/2 keyboard that I use for gaming but at least I can press more than my usb which is only 5KRO... I like the feeling of zboard a little, just 5kro is too limited for me...

lol I only have eva gachapon figures... unless u meant the blurays haha... and i only have few figures sweat.gif many still pending shipping and reason to buy >"<
