QUOTE(0168257061 @ Feb 16 2013, 09:35 AM) also, if im not wrong standard spacebar wont fit both leopold and keycool. I knew that when I got my Leopold, by that time I have a SS7G, Filco87,something i found in mkb thread few version ago when I got the Leopold, I wanna try the filco keys on it, it doesn't work, then I try the SS7G spacebar and that wont work either... after that all the key sets I got, no one fit Recently they finally come up with their own PBT/POM Spacebar..... but the PBT only comes in white, POM only comes in black..... I got both of them, if I want to match my lighter tone keys set, I will use the white PBT, if it be match with the dark tone keys, I will use the black POM... they have 5 stem hole on the spacebar, which fit Ducky and Keycool/Leopold. But they still can't match my CCnG and they don't match the Thick PBTs because Thick PBTs are always in Cherry Profile Height  This post has been edited by kaysa: Feb 16 2013, 10:21 AM |

QUOTE(CyntrixTech @ Feb 16 2013, 04:25 AM) Actually...I suspect this is not a separately sold keyap set. This may be a new SKU. The key caps are not for shine 2. The LEDs can't shine through. The key lock led is missing on F10 and F12 so this is not for Zero. This is very likely a new SKU from Ducky. If that's true, expect this to price at RM 349-369. So we have a price structure like: u had a quite neat info thereCherry G80-3800 - RM 199 -Standard Layout (Low profile keycaps) -NON STANDARD MOUNTING (you cannot use any other keycaps despite the above) -Cherry Stabilizer -ABS Caps -NKRO over USB Ducky Zero - RM 249 -Classic layout -Cherry Stabilizer -ABS Caps -NKRO over USB -Win Lock Key -Volume Key- -Made in China Cooler Master QFR - RM 279 -Classic layout -Costar Stabilizer? -ABS Caps -NKRO over? -Media Key -Made in Taiwan Rosewill RK9000 - RM 299 -Classic layout -Costar Stabilizer -ABS Caps -NKRO over PS2 -Made in Taiwan (Costar) Ducky New Board - RM 369 -Classic layout -Dye Sub PBT Caps -Cherry Stabilizer -Media keys -NKRO -Made in XXXX Rosewill RK9100 - RM 399 -Non Standard Layout -Cherry Stabilizer -ABS Caps -Media Keys -NKRO -Blue Backlit -Made in China Ducky Shine 2 9087 TKL PBT - RM 399 -Classic layout -PBT Caps -Cherry Stabilizer -Media keys -NKRO -Made in Taiwan Rosewill RK9200 Helios - RM 4x9 (tentative) -Classic layout -Costar Stabilizer -ABS Caps -NKRO over PS2 -Dual Backlit - Red/Green -Made in Taiwan (Costar) Filco Majestouch 2 - RM 4x9? -Classic layout -Costar Stabilizer -ABS Caps -NKRO over PS2 -Made in Taiwan (Costar) Ducky Shine 2 9008 - RM 459 -Classic layout -ABS Caps -Cherry Stabilizer -Media keys -NKRO -Blue/Red/Green/White/Yellow/Orange/Pink LED (one per sku) -Fully customizable LED lighting -Made in Taiwan I don't know about you but I think we have quite a big selection in Malaysia at every price point.

But too bad CM distributor here does not care to bring in MX Blue/Brown for CM Storm QFR. Which means if they want Tenkeyless of those switches they have to go for Ducky Shine 2 which is way more expensive.

All products will be announced for sure.Doesn't make any difference, we will take care of the warranty. Back order doesn't mean parallel importing them. We can always ship the board over. Mechanical keyboard enthusiast should learn to solder and repair switches and leds though. |

QUOTE(kaysa @ Feb 16 2013, 07:36 AM) Not to con you la... just you help me, I help you mah.... Do you think you can find out which factory or company manufactures them? We can make these available to local market.I help you promote the key by giving you a review... http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r....&id=13157083408 But if that is the one, same problem for me, the spacebar won't fit my Leopold.... the original spacebar or the PBT one from Keycool are higher than other keys. I can't use this one. |
