ah i see...
still in dilemma between ducky shine 2 and filco... both around the same price..  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif
*
if want blue, brown, black switches, I'll go for Filco MJ2. since locally we can't get the Red switch filco yet.

Ducky got all the switches.

i wanted brown switch.. I tested filco myself, i really love the feeling.. but the ducky shine 2 customization of led backlit really caught my eye..

then i do more research that the filco have better stabilizer than the ducky shine 2 which I totally have no idea what are they talking about

thing is my budget is suit both of the kb..

I'm more to a gamer myself and redditors/forumers..

1. Customized LED backlit - NEED vs WANT
This feature/gimmick... try ask yourself do you actually need it or want it.

2. Wire stabilizer vs Cherry Stabilizer - personal preference
Both works flawlessly and they have pros and cons. There's no way to say which stabilizer is BETTER, only which one you PREFER.

3. gamer or typist, the switch choice for performance and comfort depends on your personal preference. I've seen a guy who won SC2 tournament with MX Blue board. Since you wanted brown, then that's your switch for your particular purpose.

but the keys profile are different from any other keyboards right?
can the OEM keys fit on?

Should be able to fit onto the board... but the deal breaker is the Caps Lock switch position..

Meant the switches, not the key caps. The caps are worthless

Ebay seller wants USD15 for 10 pcs of brown. Salvaging the keys from keyboard is only RM 1.9 a pc. Pain in the @ but you'd save about 2.5X money and allows you to hone your desoldering skills
*
Since it is PCB mounted switch, without soldering skill also can salvage the core component of the switch - spring and stem.

you're not missing out anything yet. so don't worry.

As for the Switches, i estimated total 1k switches available, 4 types available, but i have pick out the bad ones, so the numbers can't be confirm yet.

If i'm free enough, i might just take all the spare steel plate, brush off the black paint, and spray the Red Paint on it.(still considering)

As for the Doubleshot Keycaps, it's the Running man ESC, Black On Yellow, and White on Red. and well as others.

That's my plan for now. which will happen on Mid of October, which i will just stop working for 1 week, and start the desolder keyboard frenzy
*
bro, I'm interested with the switches. Do let me know when you're ready to sell them.

if you want white LED board, go for Ducky Shine. it comes with various LED colour, white is one of them.

if no LED, Rosewill Ivory looks superbly great. thumbup.gif

owh.. where i can get ducky shine? i check in heavyarm website stated dat only november will be available.. sad.gif
really tempted with rosewill ivory white but no backlight or illuminated keys.. zzz..

Ducky Shine 1 is starting to phase out as Shine 2 is coming soon.

Wait for it to come or you can go garage sales look for Shine 1.

Otherwise, I think Rosewill Ivory has excellent look for that price.

OMG... Looked great even though it's just sticker...

but they stick it on a realforce?
Won'tl the gum make it sticky after they remove the sticker?

He's into keycap sticker printing smile.gif keep replacing.

otherwise, I think can use rubbing alcohol to clean the gum residue.

Mechanical keyboard at least need Rm600 for a normal 1.. but I like it so much..

are you looking at SS7G?

You can get
- cherry G80-3800 at RM199
- rosewill rk-9000 at RM299
- Filco, Leopold, Ducky from RM300 - RM450

not to mention from Taobao - PLUM, PLU, Keycool, etc. RM200+- shipped.

of course there's still something crazy.. like custom boards which easily shoot over RM1k, and boards that uses Topre switch like Realforce and HHKB pro2
