Yes, question is, costar or not? That answers the question, not answering which has better quality? That's like comparing a leopold with a filco.

change half half XD make pattern !
btw ur keycaps all PBT?

oh... 1 year there left.. then back malaysia.. got come back msia for holidays in between so okay lah..

china one not enough time to reach here le ><

I tried removing the caps using temp diy key puller, fuyoo I lost count how many time I cursed throughout the process. Finally give up after removing half of the keys, some key just won't budge. Not going to force it until I get a real key puller.

how DIY? sifu can teach? that LED u mod urself?

I bought assembled one

dont force it, you might pull the whole thing out. just do it slowly.

wow..poker2? is that alu case?

the 38gt comes with red plate ?

to order 60% universal kbd plate from gon takes 3-4 weeks to get anodizing done

how much u buy @_@

Gave up, put back all caps already
Sifu, sell me your Blank Candy Corn MX and Mintgum WASD set

you shat pants knowing the price of that custom keyboard

yup all pbt including the colored one

The misconception I used to have is, if it comes from same OEM it must have the same build quality.
Then i realized, nope, that's the wrong concept. It does not apply for all.

A story my friend used to share.
Acson and York Aircon comes from the same factory. Don't believe me? Go check out the design of a common York unit vs an Acson unit.

So he told me, when he worked there, they just stick the brand badge based on orders, same QC and all.
In this case, Acson and York has the same quality, just different badge. Do take this with a grain of salt, as all this is based on hearsay.

In the case of Costar branded keyboards, the devil is in the PCB material
QFR, RW etc uses 1 layer PCB. Not sure of the material type but definitely not FR4 if FILCO had to take an effort to promote that. Comparing FILCO with RW or QFR, the solder mask feels more robust, and that it is of FR4 with 2 layer routing. In this case, production cost would be higher. No company would increase production cost if it does not come with better build quality. And based on my first hand experience, FILCO PCB is better built.

I agree with you, I was thinking the same as you until this few months, I talked with a few guys and got an insight on the production and marketing on the OEM side.

Wait until i opened up rk9000 pcb compare to filco,
Indeed filco pcb better

Not cheap wor friend, you ready ah? : p
