abang abang sekalian, lol... i just got my first mechanical keyboard which is the CM STORM QUICKFIRE TK with Brown switch. I did not try any other switch yet but juts listen to ZILLION of youtube review and sound test. and quite amazingly, those youtuber can record quite a similar sound just like what i expect i will get with the keyboard on my brown.

Anyway, I know that the TK is having a weirder layout, which basically mean the spacebar and some other key that do not fit a full set of keycap.

I was wondering if there is any website or seller selling keycap that is easy to browse and buy? because i hate taobao... its in chinese, i can read but just tired of reading all those chinese word. If there is no other seller, then i guess i will go for taobao...

Another thing is that, i am VERY VERY VERY fond of those NINJA/STEALTH key, is there any such key WITH those font printed sideway, and is compatible for backlit ... LOL!!! please guide me.tq~

Welcome to the Mech KB world my friend. You're now using the same keyboard as me smile.gif

Takes a bit of getting used to, especially with the numlock and numpad with the arrow keys.

Do take note that our KB has a slightly different layout if you're planning to get custom keycaps. (the modifiers, alt, windows and function key)

If you're looking to shop for keycaps, take a look at Heavyarm or search it up here in lowyat!

Bro, from ur signature, i see that u have used the RK9000 before... so how was it compare to the TK? for me, i've never use such build quality keyboard. The key is matte type and everything feel so good when typing, unlike most membrane keyboard that have the shinny plastic type.

anyway, i will try to see heavyarm, if i can get any alpha keycap set... just the alpha will do... other is ok.... hope i can get those alpha in STEALTH mode.. tat would be awesome.!

Well, to be honest I really like the RK9000. The stabilizers just give a totally different feel, which is so 'nice' (can't find a better word). I feel that our Cm's stabilizers (Cherry) is a little sluggish.

Then again, I've really gotten really used to this CM TK already.....

You may wanna try PBT keycaps too, it's different, something like a sandy feel.

where do u get those PBT keycaps? is it backlit through?

EDIT: and i realize you used the blue switch too... how do u compare to the brown u using now?? LOL

The one I'm using is not PBT lol. It's ABS with the similar coating to the matte feel that the stock keycaps of Cm has.
Light shines through, but I don't use the backlight function often, it's so much easier to turn on the normal lights lol.

Blue switch is really nice to type on. But when using it to play games, it can get really annoying (especially when you're losing lol).
I must say that regardless of the switch colour, it's still an upgrade from a membrane type. And all of the switches takes some getting used too, then that'll be your fav switch imo.
