Quite possible. They may make 6.5x spacebar more popular, lol.

Add another RM30-50 and grab a China board then, some of them cost below RM200 shipped.

If you really can't afford or not willing to spend over RM150, better stick with those normal Logitech boards below RM30. It can serve you as well as those "gaming board".

TypeNow Solid.

that's y I plan to mod the switch to normal position to fix it once and for all.

Seems possible but may took some hard work and can't afford any mistake.

I bet it is same for 9008G2 Pro, just that it don't have the numpad.

Some with BLed WASD.

Added on October 6, 2012, 1:19 pmI don't think so. Ducky never made a board with full MX Green b4. And I don't see a reason/hint that they will do so this time.

May be when MX White is mainstream enough, they will pull it out.

OK, I guess that mech kb market competition is too intense, thus Ducky had to made such despo move, lol...

Redefining weird layout to lvl 99999!!!

BTW, I wonder how do they achive a slightly bigger than 1x sized backspace in such layout? I thought one row = 15x. And with 14 1x sized keys in the number rows, the remaining should be 1x? Some magic there.

---

Added on October 6, 2012, 8:20 pmJudging from the bottom modifier/spacebar row, it should sum up to 15.25x in length. Now thats an achievement for being longer than normal kbs. Ip4 to ip5 theory anyone?

No prototype out yet? But I believe that the blueprint will folo the same pic. Cause every rows(not sure about "Functions" row) are 15.25x in total.

Wondering you sold it at Aus or Malaysia?

I write one in GH b4.

It is a normal board, not much special.

Main selling point:
1. PCB mounted board
2. Cherry Branded(though, some rumor said that they actually is OEMed by other OEM...)
3. Modern look with low profile keycaps(incase some ppl not willing to go for mech kb due to the old and tall keys profile, this particular board is aesthetically nearer to modern demand)
4. Light(really it is probably the lightest fullsize mech kb out there, much less than 1kg even with box)

Main dealbreaker of it:
1. Low profile keycaps - quite "painful" to type on the default keycaps. Kind of "sharp" at the edge of top of keycaps.
2. Caps-Lock different position, near to impossible to find replacement CapsLock without a mod or two
3. Not too solidly built(the keyboard can be flexed/twisted when a stronger force being applied)
4. The front right egde of the keyboard somehow have some flexing when flexed. As a result, when you pressing left Ctrl, you will notice that the whole bottom left part of PCB move with it.
5. Bad angle of tilt. Worsen with the lack of rubber feet for the extend feet, easy to move around.
6. 2KRO with no ps/2 support

In short, it is still an acceptable choice, if you insist on a fullsize(non-tkl) mech kb. Just that the keycaps are pretty much must be changed for proper use and type...

I mean the default keycaps suck to type on...
Low profile might not be everyone's taste, worsen with a small and edgy(sharp) top surface for keycaps.

---

Added on October 6, 2012, 10:38 pmIn other words, a low profile keycaps should had a large and flat surface to made it not edgy.

No way to change the Caps Lock. All other keys are possible and easy to change.

Cheapest locally available Cherry MX switch fullsize board.

Else, there are some even cheaper or non-cherry MX boards available from Taobao.

Added on October 6, 2012, 11:07 pmSome PLU, PLUM, Keycool or HPE cost less than 300RMB, which will mean around RM160 b4 ship.

This post has been edited by Human10: Oct 6 2012, 11:07 PM

That is Keycool.

Added on October 7, 2012, 2:02 amNormally we talk about the profile.

The normal one we saw on most boards out there is DCS profile. Which using a defined shape/slope/gradient but the height of keycaps variate across different brands.

The the nearest row(Ctrl, Alt...) is called R1 height. So do for the row "Shift ZXC...", also use R1 height. It is then followed by R2, R3 and the remaining numbers and functions rows are using R4.

And whats sad is moar and moar brands(Logitech 700 & CM Storm 100keys) following the weird layout...

But SteelSeries had did something even moar mindfck with their Alpha...

Those white stabilizer fits should be putted vertically. Though, notice that forward and backward also got different. So you may need some try and error to get it done.

Inb4 Cherry style won't have similar problem, LOL...

Owai, after saw Zongeva's post, noticed that the steelwire is different also... Normal steelwire will have a C shaped hook.

---

Added on October 7, 2012, 2:24 amActually, Cherry boards doesn't come with steelwire stabiliser by default right?

Added on October 7, 2012, 3:41 amA good review to read about. Review of Plum 96 by ququfeijian (quite a known guy in China mech kb). Sorry but it is in Chinese though.
http://www.waishehome.cn/thread-59094-1-1.html

This part made me LOL and curious on what how actually does the spacebar of PLUM look like.
96键帽最奇葩就是这个空格键了，表面上看和原厂如出一辙，但是翻过来一看要吐血了。这货奇葩的8菊花，我被雷到了。我搞不懂这设计是出于何种目的？要是因为兼容性的话，那你空格上印的硕大的PLUM字样让想按到其他键盘的XD 情何以堪啊！最让我雷的在最后一张图。我原以为96的键帽和原厂是百分之百兼容呢，结果最终被PLUM独特而奇葩的设计击倒了。我拿出了各类空格键结果可想而知没有一个能装在96上，这是闹甚？？？我觉得这算是此款键盘最毒最败笔的一个设计了。

Among them. PLUM/Keycool is consider bang for bucks. They offer more features and accessories at a lower price.

If you want a "clone" of Filco, go for PLU/HPE, they are designed exactlythe same as Filco.

In short, all should be quite solid boards.

Even steelseries also troll about their "tactile" MX red lar... Marketing at its best...

---

Added on October 9, 2012, 8:37 pmI thought AllIT or Viewnet at LYP got? BTW. get Trigger > BWU if possible.

---

Added on October 9, 2012, 8:40 pmAs mentioned by Zongeva, that is QuickFire Pro, which can be consider a clone brother of Razer BWU.

CM's mech kbs having different OEM for different models, so better be sure of about them if you care on who is the OEM for your board.

BTW, I can't believe that KBT is using a even taller keycaps than CM Pro. Technically, it is like Filco's height compare to BWU's height, and I always thought BWU having the tallest keys here. Or may be you put it on the wrong row(R1, R2, R3 and R4 at the right rows?) or you haven't fully fit the keycaps in. Normally there will be a little tick or bump when the keycaps fully fitted in.

Judging from the current layout for it. It is hard to convince me that it is having a different OEM than Corsair K60/90.
So as the new CM TK, highly possible to come from same mother as K60/90.
