3 case GB no.
Skeldon, Imsto Hammer, MKC.

So hard to decide.

Imsto Hammer case looks like Duck Poker, and MKC has the sexy curves.

Yeah, I think the MKC one looks rather nice, affordable price too.

Skeldon's case looks like the 80% version of Duck Poker.
A solid hunk of metal, 6lbs.
Duck Poker with brass weights in comparison is 1.1kg

I love heavy and small keyboards. tongue.gif

Remember to get a good and sharp shear. I tried to use side cutter but they are not good.
Now I am using the possibily imitation Plato 170 Shear from Taobao.
Works wonders. Baru Rm10 sebatang.
If want good quality and ori, get from element14.

Yar, regarding desoldering LED part, I agree.

It is better to have a proper desoldering gun than using soldering iron + vacuum suck...

BTW, the one in my link got non-LED version, get it for the sake of wireless.

Desoldering LEDs needs a ton of solder, a plier and a good vacuum sucker.
I recommend the Edsyn soldapult.

Add solder forming solder bridge.
Reflow the solder entirely and pull out the LED.

Use a good quality vacuum pump to suck out all the solder.
Cheap ones will just make a mess.

For Pb-Free Solder pad cleaning, recommended to get larger wattage iron.
Otherwise the pad will be a mess as well.

Finally coming back to Malaysia next week! Now can put off procrastinating on my keyboard. UK prices were a complete ripoff - most started at maybe RM500+

@Cyntrix: Do you have any kbt races in stock (cherry reds)?

Cyntrix not selling Race.
RACE has stopped production.

But kai say above that in taobao cost 950RMB?

And we are talking bout hammer case, not MKC right?

MKC told me his 60% case thickness is 1.5mm
Not sure he don't understand my question or if it is that thin.

I like MKC's colors but imsto has the better design.
MKC colors. Though there's gonna be some difficulty in finding a set that has a good color scheme that can fit this color other than white blanks.

I already have Duck Poker. No need get Hammer tongue.gif .
Duck Poker case alone is 1100g with the weight, probably 1.5kg with the switches and keycaps.

I wonder how heavy is the Hammer case.

Not to mention 3 color LED, means 3X the amount of wiring...

The PCB must be well planned and multi layer.

There are no concerns with Multicolor LEDs.
The smallest modules can go down to the smallest component you see on your motherboard.

No worries. Just the technique in doing that is going to be copied by modders and other manufacturers when it comes out.

Don't wanna scratch the YOTS? Ain't nobody got time 4 dat. I'm sure if you buy something costs that much, you would have extra care on it. From what I know, people put non slip mat under their aluminium keyboards, nothing could touch the keyboard anyway, save cost + looks better too. Unless people really so "smart" go do WHOLE thing put cover even covering the switch to prevent liquid from going in?

I put my keyboards on my table and eat in front of the computer.

Don't use newspaper wrap 1 layer outside, like that wrap like no wrap.

Don't use newspaper as padding, they are very heavy.

Bubble wrap tesco got, Rm5 1 pack, ngam ngam 1 keyboard. Then use brwon paper wrap outside. That's how I normally ship the keyboards.

Everyone buys both if they are deciding between the 2.

Poker layout took me about 1-2 weeks to learn.

If you can touch type, learning it should be quick and easy.

You guys are too paranoid on POKER layout.

The only thing you need to memorize is the six pack location. Home, insert, del...etc.
The rest, like F-keys and arrow keys are pretty standard. Hold Fn, and use WASD. Don't tell me you don't remember what WASD is for.
