there's a high chance that this DSA Spherical Keycap family keycap has higher thickness than normal SP DCS type. Due to the way they have been made.

Which is something that we had in the past, but not from the same family, the PANIC keycap and %@#$! keycap.(they are DSS profile something similar to DSA)

Thus being abit more expensive than the usual DCS.

I've been still waiting for a while that there's a new keycap coming, Doubleshot PBT with translucent clear. Which is rumor from geekhack, but so far, already feb, no news yet.

Can't really tell how much taobao is selling. But another link I saw for the metal keycaps is only about 370RMB

Well Techkeys does have a bit of a middle ground to what you've mentioned. Their Green Smiley is double shot PBT, and there are translucent double shots but made of ABS legends on translucent polycarb keys. Guess it's a testing stage but I think the new combination of methods and materials is gonna be way more pricey than double shot ABS.

man, you can't say like that la....
he also need to stock up, need to take risk of factory error product,
lost in mail product, damage in post products etc..

and time to do all the works, calculating, sending, packing,
I tried that myself I know that is all hard jobs.
and to do business, sure need profits right?

Need to calculate like this: if people work own jobs, also have income already,
if income 1 month RM2000, work 6 days per week, everyday 8 hours,
1 hour lunch break, mean work 7 hour a day, 24days, per month,
meaning each hour RM12 (not include bonus),
if I do not earn profit more than RM12 each hour by selling the keys accessories,
meaning I m doing charity already.

^That's why there's a difference between business & a community of enthusiasts (like GH). By the way, the same seller is selling the Ducky Zero also. blink.gif

What is the point starting thread like that knowing keyboard enthusiast will have their own way to source themselves.

Everybody knows taobao now. Agent also got.

Maybe just side business.

The info i heard from is from DECK keyboards actually, news regarding about this is that they are releasing PBT doubleshot with translucent keycap like what you mention from techkeys. but i doubt this is the collaboration between both techkeys and DECK, but i'm willing to wait to see 104 set keycap.

@Neo|ofGeo regarding about that.. hmm i think you'll have to take a risk regarding about this. Gigabyte tends to... uhh... Not saying it's a bad thing or what, but i doubt their gaming accessories quality, since i have 2 flagship Ghost series gaming mouse from gigabyte which died within 2~3 month. And their quality control is pretty much crap.(note : this is 2 years ago, so... my point might be invalid and they might have improve) All in all, RM250 for this keyboard seems to be a very good price point, you can have a try.

the more i read about Mechanical Keyboard, the more confused I become rclxub.gif

i'm an average gamer and looking for a mech keyboard, from the first page, the kind of keys i prefer would be something like cherry brown switches which provide a balance for gamer n typist.

is there any recommendation of MKB that is suitable for a newbie MKB user?
price range preferably not more than RM300, tight budget sad.gif
