I am also letting this board. Haha.
Yes. After lubed is much more better.
So much silent, like everything.
About the LED hole.
I am not sure why manufacturer wants to pre-solder the hold.
It is quite a bit hassles especially to remove all the solder before you can insert led

Just need one set of wave soldering than two.
Save cost.

How much letting go? O_O , RED switches lubed means more linear? I have no idea about all this thing yet

Lube means they feel smoother than original.
Your mileage may vary. Some people cannot tell the difference. Some people thinks that it is wonderful.

sc2 is new game which require lesser apm, i think they just update to today standard than doing a needed upgrade, and for promo sponsor.

sc1 they dont need even mech kb or nkro.

yea i know mech kb is better, but it is not a requirements, even to their professional standard.

In most games, it's not needed. It's a small upgrade to your gaming, but not noticeable. Mostly pro gamers uses Mech keyboards is because of sponsorship.

Mouse on the other hand, is more important.

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

If you want, you better make decision liao, the last chance I'd be able to ship it is on Tuesday. Oh, and there was someone who wanted to trade me his KBT race in my thread too. Maybe you can PM him.

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).

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.

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.
