Y u no say early? LOL
FC700R can??

Gonna be a bit of a hassle with the FC600. Desoldering needed to do the stabilizer mod.
At that point, might as well lube it since they are all desoldered.

That keyboard with a programmable 2 keys on the top right might be perfect, but it looks like they didn't leave a lot of space underneath the PCB for modding.

Oh well, you always have KeyTweak software.

how does this compare to the Kinesis boards?

1) Thumb keys layout is exactly the same.
2) The overall main key lay out is the same included the modifier.
3) Ergodox dont have dedicated F1 to F12. Kinesis use rubber key for F1 to F12. A lot of user hate that included me.
4) Ergodox had extra 6 keys at the center.
5) Ergodox is Flat. Kineisis is Concave key well
6) The 2 side modifier for Ergodox is 1.5X. Kinesis is 1.25X
7) Ergodox can split apart and Portable. Kinesis is not portable at all. Other will think I am mad bring out Kinesis to type on Public place. (Maybe Ergodox too...haha)
8) Kinesis only came with MX Brown and MX Red (More expensive). Ergodox can have any switch you want.

Ergodox layout. Can be Customize


Kinesis Layout: You can remap any keys on the keyboard itself. No extra software needed.

One using clone switch for eagle, meanwhile hornet is built with cherry mx. imo, they look flashy but clack y

Any insurance agent want to take me as client?

If anyone here is intersted..

Mech kb 101:

1. There will never be too much kb, LOL.

But again, it will be for niche market and probably will never enter Malaysia's market.

Nope.

I really being impressed by their genius design this time. Manage to keep the size of the keys you mentioned standard (6.25x for spacebar, but it probably following leopold spacing standard... and the right shift following left shift size, 2.25x).

As kai suggested, blank key will still be easy and perfect choice for it (provided you can find the spacebar (keycool probably the only source) of desired color at the 1st place)

I touched them at LYP b4.

As you stated, one is using the fake clone switch. If I need one, I would already ordered Rapoo V7 (the ancestor/1st among fake switch mech kb, which probably less than RM130 shipped).

Hornet is using genuine cherry mx and really solid (IINM, either one of the top or base case are metal, not too sure bout it), but at the price tag of RM450, overbranding level >90000, unknown OEM (but it is using square shaped LED, so potentially to be related to Keycool or the new gaming brand called what "凌豹终结者" something), edgy/sharp case random coating and many more uncertainties, how about no?

BTW, LYN loss the auto post combining ability?

ya. Lowyat disable the combine features.
btw, donno. i don't like that ammageddon =.=

Can't decide to go for 84 or 87 for smaller size keyboard.
Any idea which to go ? prefer to have firm and stable feeling when typing.

depend on your usage. for me i find 84 is very not convenient for me

If you want firm stable feeling when typing, I will say 87. Most 84 board is less solidly build compared to 87.
