TT in Malaysia is under other distributor. Also, they don't import much mech kb and most of them are simply importing from Taiwan. sweat.gif

Just the top, don't think they would remove the whole thing.

But for most normal plate mounted board, you had to solder off from pcb to remove the top...

Beli, jangan tak beli.

After that, harvest the board (pcb and wire) and stuff them into your ninja and you got a ninja with media keys and braided cable, ultimate win!!!

Nope... Hehe... I'm looking for 75%. If time allow, Ducky G2 Pro or I should wait KBT Oni. But you just gave me some idea. Haha...
Nice idea too... Camo Ninja! So, can PCB from my Ninja transfer to Camo?

Since both are filco and same size, I don't see why it can't.

Owait, kyrmian's camo full size right?

Haha, sorry bro still thinking. Either grab your TKL then spray glossy white, KMAC or LZ-GH.  drool.gif

Anyway my CCnG finally arrive today, impulsively grabbed it from GH. Saw 0168257061 thread, but it was missing the green escape key during that time.

Have no choice but to place it in it's temporary home while I decide on the keyboard. Of course some of the keys won't fit, Steelseries why you no use standard modifier  doh.gif

Oh god, I think I warned that Pom is dangerous for blue switch b4. Removing Pom from blue really require some suitable tools, skills and carefulness.

Btw, don't try to force the keys back into the switches especially for blue switch, you gonna desolder and disassemble the switch 1st to put it back.

Aww , didn't notice it sad.gif anyway, why it is blue only? hmm.gif

Wonder if sandpaper helps with the spacebar..

cause blue switch's stem is of 2 pieces, thus more fragile.

And due to the 2 pieces design, you can't forcefully push the stem back. You must disassemble the switch to fix it.

Oh man, I've been reading so much from this thread didn't realize its already 3a.m.
I actually came here from GeekHack cause I wanted to see if anyone owns a KBT Race and where I can find one locally. Found out it's EOL from a few pages back sad.gif
I've actually visited this page a few times when I see it at the top of "Hardware" but didn't understand anything you guys were saying lol.
Anyway, I've done a lot of reading since and have considered so many different keyboards to buy only to change my mind every few hours of reading...
I'm afraid if I keep reading and stall buying one I would end up with a KMAC2. Something that has happened to me at "Audiophiles".
Initially, I wanted to get something with backlights but had since considered the better PBT keycaps. Also, I could not find a TKL with backlights that I can obtain locally.
I've narrowed down my choices and now I'm stuck between getting a brand new KBT Oni or kyrmian's Filco Camo. I need professional opinions on which of these I should opt for. Thanks in advance smile.gif

Wow, a local GHacker come to lyn, that's a rare one.

Btw, if you don't mind 2nd hand, I believe there will be ppl letting go their race. Otherwise, you may still get milk switch one from Taobao.

Btw, local available tkl with backlit? Ducky shine got wut...

Else, try Armageddon Hornet, pun intended.

Btw, IMO, getting a camo filco tkl at RM330 shipped is pretty much a steal (provided the keycaps are still there, lol).

I just checked that it was still with available stock last friday, ended up its sold out on the weekend, that's pretty fast.
Ok, so the only way to get the Vintage black is harvesting from old mkb?

To me the stock red switches are already very smooth, unless i still do not require extra smoothness due to this is my first attempt on red switches. But its good to know for future option. 
Agreed, any games are fine with normal keyboard, mechanical keyboard will nv be the requirement.
Some mouse are also over-rated with features, its all about marketing biggrin.gif well it works.
I would suggest you to take up the Filco Camouflage, it is almost impossible to get one locally now, unless you are purchasing from overseas or taobao which will cost you about RM500-RM600. Direct jump ship to KMAC 2 ? Mayb u will miss out alot of stuffs throughout the journey biggrin.gif but the destination will be custom mkb i guess biggrin.gif

You not necessary can get vintage black from vintage board, I mean not all of them are. May be you can try your luck as Kai did, go for some vintage WYSE board from Taobao. It is also rumored that the vintage cherry stabilizer are the best and smoothest stabilizer, even unmatched by filco one.

Stock red is smooth and light, but noticeably scratchy.

Model M vs unicomp, your bet?

Keyboards used to cost over 300usd, when they didn't concern bout how to cut the cost, hence you get the maximum quality they can offer.

Today's cherry also already undergoes a lot of cost cutting.

A men who bought over 4duckies in 3 months complain bout race expensive? That doesn't made any sense what? laugh.gif
Btw, it come with milk switch and pbt, hence the price tag still within reasonable range IMO.

Vintage keyboard and pc, yes. But mouse I don't think so. Ball mouse...

Craftsmanship and quality, mostly the vintage one did better.

blink.gif  u actually calculated that.

Well its expensive to me because i saw it was selling locally between RM200-RM250, and reason of getting one of this is because it is backlit, so the PBT one are non backlit, means no go biggrin.gif

Trackballs are i guess.

I recall that Kai's race are selling at close to zero or negative profit price, hence it is cheap. Even the vortex pbt he used to offer are much more pricy in Taobao.

Backlit, you can always DIY what? Especially for those BL ready boards.

Btw, it also isn't strange for EOLed stuff to undergoes some price jacking (actually the 750 is not a jacked price yet), take a look at poker1.

Luckily, Logitech still making ok quality trackball.

People saying vintage blue is mushy hmm...

Edited, using phone, hence didn't see well...

I guess it is because most vintage blue board are not well preserved, not to mention that blue switch degrade faster than other switches. And even some dust can affect the click.

Still remember 1stly, black are rated 50mil while blue are 20mil. But I think nowadays for the sake of convenient or marketing, they simply put 50mil for all switches.

Human10 nah, I'm not a GHacker. I was just lurking there. Not very interested in getting from taobao.

I agree wholeheartedly!
lowyatguy go for the camo huh? The only reason I'm not rushing to get it is because of the color scheme. Also, the Oni's keycaps look quite good. However, Vortex has had a lot of unhappy customers over at GH so I'm also weary about that.

I though you said you came from GH?

Reason for getting filco camo is that it is the best bang for bucks and featured keyboards filco ever offer.

You get braided cable, camo dyed case and media keys which non other filco get
