Just a quick question, is there anyway to disable the blue num lock light when your computer is off? It is quite bright when the room is all dark.

you use PS/2 or USB?

Your numlock LED still lighting means your keyboard still receiving power from your motherboard.

Nowadays motherboard are designed to supply power even when it is shut down, to charge your devices.

you can configure this feature in the BIOS IINM

any suggestions between both of these keyboards?
both are still in budget..
Ducky DK2108 Ducky Zero or Rosewill RK-9000?
*
straight go for Rosewill RK-9000, since DK2108 is entry level board.

I don't think ML switches are good.
They need tons and tons of lube to make sense. At its current state, it is good for the price.

For short throw switches (short travel if you prefer) the best is still the one on my T520 thinkpad. This is before they change to the chiclet layout.

strongly agree with you.. the older thinkpad keyboards are MUCH better than the newer island styled keyboard... sad change arrr

As for the acrylic case, the borders are too sharp and its not comfortable to lay ur palm over it when typing.

no worry that is Japan layout, US ANSI layout should be around the corner, if INter-Asia is bringing in.

any more opinions about Vortex RACE MX cherry red 75%?
is it durable? does it give any weird problems? are cherry reds the best or it all goes on what you prefer? and lastly do you think getting a mechanical keyboard knowing it is expensive is worth the money?

QUOTE(mansooriqbal @ Apr 1 2013, 04:03 PM)
I ordered vortex Race 75% with red cherry switch smile.gif I am not a hard typer I think it will suit me (y) lets see.. If not then i'll get used to it... none than less it will be better than a normal keyboard! (y) but seriously... mech keyboards so expensive compared to normal even good wireless keyboard.
*
if you enjoy typing, I'd say that you're pretty safe to own a mechanical keyboard.

Indeed they're much expensive than regular keyboards, but that's because they've got good guts compared regular keyboards. Even if you say those good wireless boards, they are still using the same rubber dome technology..

so at least when you invest in mechanical keyboards, you get individual switches for each key.

Hello guys,

Does anyone here carry the knowledge whether the keycaps of razer blackwidow tournament edition are interchangeable to other keycaps?

Thanks.

if you got a set of standard US ANSI layout custom key caps, you can fit everything onto the Razer BWT except that the spacebar row, you cannot fit because razer's spacebar row have different modifier size (CTRL, WIN, ALT, SPBAR)

I'd open a new thread if only if I got the time for that..

Nah, just kidding.

Based on my experience with 2.0, I doubt I will like the same keycaps. sweat.gif

Ok, I admit that this is serious and vital improvement over 2.0, the anti-slip feet...

I still wonder if the caps lock still the same as 2.0 G80-3800
