Modding a IBM model M should be the easiest wireless mod among mech kb.

You basically just need a controller from a capalang old Logitech board and wire them onto a Model M you are good to go.

Added on September 18, 2012, 11:05 pmNeo Zelia 87(a China board) and some more China brand had made several wireless mech kb.

iOne also do made one wireless board b4 IIRC.

Filco had made some wireless board b4, but they gone EOLed(+ it isn't from Costar).

Useful for gaming? Subjective I will say.

If your previous kb really shity or ghosting + uncomfortable to use on, it will sure help.

In short, mech kb make you more comfort when typing, improve your typing(using of keyboard) experience.

Personally, I don't really like blue for gaming or fast paces double tapping(due to certain limits the switch had), but it isn't going to affect you much. If you tried and didn't notice/care bout it, then there isn't anything wrong for going blue switch.

There are even worse. Those transparent or triple shot keys are near to priceless, even Darth Vader cost 100USD last time.

In short, CC keys are priceless, and everyone of them is "precious" to their owner(insert golummyprecious.jpg).

The only thing good bout it is probably it cost a little(compare to the overall price) to ship to you...
CC keys are probably the most expensive plastic after those used in plastic surgeries in Korea, TROLOLOL...

Can explain more on how it is "dead"?

I mean is the switch still normal, without any oddity in sound?

I assume this is the case for "missed" soldering for the switch, an acknowledged QC failure for Rosewill...

If you don't want to waste your warranty, RMA is the way to go.

Yup, most cases I read about are "sudden death". They are working at first place but died by it own later.

If possible, I will request the permission to open up the keyboard to check for any electrical defects. Better safe than it gone down after warranty period, LOL...

nope, PCB mounted like poker/race did.
Infact it is probably the only PCB mounted tkl out there.

Razer? yaoming.jpg

Just kidding. You probably can order from those online vendors in garage sale for brands like Filco, Ducky and Rosewill.

Actually, IMSTO do international shipping too, just not sure bout the rate.

go try ducky out to see which one you like more. No meaning spend over RM400 yet you don't like it.

Order Filco's steel wire and stabiliser feet from WASDkeyboard.

A more proper wire may solve squeky problem(if any).

So in short HPE is a good board(for its price)?

LOL, it needs GOLD KEYCAP also.

BTW, when used with SS Xai gold....

can, but you will had a hard hell of time to find replacement for its Caps Lock.

Added on September 26, 2012, 4:25 pmBTW, I had not visit(surfing thoroughly) GH for a long time(around half year). And when I visit it back just now, I noticed a thread I started back in April.
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=29605.0

From there, I tracked back to the China forum and realized that my dream board had released. Time to poke another hole in my wallet.

Side note: the kb come with PBT(white)/POM(black) keycaps and wireless ability + predrilled holes and circuit for Backlit modding.

pay a visit to those hobbies shop?

CM Storm Quickfire Rapid. Among the most "entry" model available locally.

It should be OK also.

Just that it is more to a normal simple board than a "gaming board" like CM Storm QFR.
