If you press the key and nothing happens, I afraid that switch got problem.

Download Aqua KeyTest and test if that key is working or not.

opa, my bad boss. the key works but as a 'Fn' key to adjust the keyboard LED and computer volume, not the standard right-click menu pop-out key.  doh.gif

oh Ducky... yah, Ducky don't have menu key, instead they replace it with FN..

The confusion comes from the custom key cap tongue.gif

I own a Ducky as well lol..

Yup, they left white keykap version.
KR9000 loh,
notice that red metal plate laugh.gif

I'm not sure KR9100, but isn't it plate-mount too ?

RK9100 is plate mounted too

Just pre-ordered Ducky Shine 2 limited edition from Heavy Arm! smile.gif

Hopefully the keyboard wont be as disappoint as many would have said as of late.

as for now, i still not sure is the leather wrist rest or any wrist rest worth the extra cost?
i bought a mousepad with a wrist rest not too long ago and the experience was 'unpleasant'.
*
disappoint quality? only if you're so picky that you compare everything down to the last screw..

Enjoy your board thumbup.gif

ROSEWILL RK9000 REVIEW OPPORTUNITY


We're hoping to gather some senior members in reviewing the RK9000. It's probably nothing new for you folks but many have no idea what exactly and why exactly this keyboard rocks. We are going to start with a campaign for some selected members to review the keyboards. Once the reviews are submitted, you have to pass the keyboard to the next person. At the end of the day, we will do a random pick (using "the hat") and one of the reviewers will be able to keep the keyboard free of charge.

We are considering sending all keyboards in for review - MX RED, MX BLUE, MX BLACK (MX BROWN not available until Late February)

Whoever wants in. Quote and add your name here and we will contact you for more details

1. Neo|ofGeo
2. pristine
3. Ireferno
4. wyh 
5. JohnDiew0107

PS: Everybody who reviewed professionally will be given a small gift as a small gesture of appreciation


count me in, I've done brief review for Ducky 9008 Shine, 9008G2, 9008G2pro, PLUM MX104M and POKER

seems promising, but the price still not cheap enough.. perhaps another RM30-40 cut would suit the entry level pricing and quality.

CyntrixTech, how much does that cost?
should be out of my budget...

Ireferno, i did look into Rosewill, value for money i would say...
with clean design, i like it the clean look...
main reason i'm looking at the CM keyboards is because of the compact size...
*
Good to have another TKL/compact lover out there smile.gif

Quick Fire Rapid would be a solid choice because of the obvious reason.

Quick Fire TK, I have no comment, since it is quite new in the market. But some TK owners here are satisfied with it, maybe you can inquire input from them.

Otherwise, you can look for forummer kaiserreich as he brings in KBT Race and [bulk] Vortex Poker.

what is that key between alt and fn left?
*
that is Japanese keyboard layout, for switching input method like Roman to Hiragana, and Hiragana to Kanji..

not sure about which key perform which as I never used one before.

QUOTE(Ireferno @ Feb 7 2013, 09:36 AM)
Gosh, what a short spacebar lol 2"

keep in mind that is Japanese layout, not the usual US-ANSI layout, but that spacebar is cute lulz

Japs like short spacebars? ROFL

it's more like easier to use, as I type Japanese occasionally, using the standard keyboard is quite troublesome, especially when you have Hiragana - Katakana - Kanji - Romaji to switch..

I could imagine how those 2 keys would help speeding up Japanese typing.

but for most of us, we would easily hit the wrong key...

so you secured your filco tenkeyless?  hmm.gif
hmm.... that poker pro.... are they using the standard key profile like poker I?
PS: wanted to ask for a long time, the capslock, on most OEM board (rosewill, filco and ducky) are they centered or off-centered? and what about cherry (or rather GMK now) capslock? are they centered or off-centered? what is the concern over here when choosing the keyboard? coz been seeing once in awhile people mentioned about the capslock being the troublesome one apart from the spacebar....

manage to find the dealer who still have the board I wanted in stock...
