QUOTE(Human10 @ Jan 22 2013, 04:36 PM) I touched them at LYP b4. Ah didn't know the Hornet cost that much.. not worth it at that price point then.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?  .... What about the coolermasters? There have about 5 mech keyboards at decent prices. |

QUOTE(kyrmian @ Jan 22 2013, 07:16 PM) What do you need then? backlit? tenkeyless? full keyboard? Something cheap ~RM300 or less. Backlit would be a plus but unecessary. TKL is just fine. I prefer to pay for quality not some fancy brand. |

QUOTE(bv2427 @ Jan 22 2013, 09:26 PM) Then get the no backlight, full-size Rosewill RK9000. RM249 if promo is still on, RM299 if not from Heavy Arm @ SS15. I saw it before, I don't like the mini-usb socket being so exposed on the RK9000, its flimsy and might break if the kb drops or after a sharp tug on the cable. |

QUOTE(bv2427 @ Jan 22 2013, 09:55 PM) Lol. Define exposed. I don't know what kind of desktop setup you have, but if your keyboard drops often and you tug a lot on the cable then... No further comment. The RK9000 usb socket is not recessed like the Coolermaster one your picture so its a weak point. Unless you want something like the Quick Fire Rapid. .... Exposed? ... Pinjam your image kai. Or a cable that is not detachable like a Filco. I move my keyboard out of the way now and then to make space for books/papers and other equipment and it fell once or twice because I placed the kb on a pile of papers at the edge of the desk. Not a big risk here but could happen again. Whats more likely is that I might drop something heavy right on the usb socket and break it. So the usb socket part is weak and lousy and won't work for me. |
