Go service noticeboard subforum, find taobao agent to buy it for you.

Yup, change keycaps backlit is still there, but backlit normally will simply shine through white keycaps.

Since it and quite a lot other sellers still put the free a set of white keycaps in their thread, I guess it is still on.

To be sure, try double confirm with the sellers b4 placing your order.

Nope, the bottom row got some oddities, not to mention the top row is using R5 height instead of normal R4.

Yup, mine is brown switch.
From what I know is red is lighter than brown.
Not sure about blue/brown is lighter than each other. Brown is similar feel as Blue, but no clicky sounds.

Local shops in Kuching don't have much choice for mx switches, and I don't have chance to test them out since they dun have demo set for ppl to test before buying, kinda bad imo. So i can only choose mx switch that probably suit me based on reviews, videos to make up my mind.

Brown and blue actually differentiate quite a lot apart from the clickiness.

Their tactility is a huge different, not to mention the clicky part of blue also affected the actuation point of blue to be different from brown.

Okay...I've suddenly decided I cannot live without the numpad - and I don't have the budget to spend on a separate mech numpad.

Someone please tell me why I shouldn't buy this:

Hmm after stalking this thread for awhile, seems filco is very nice to get with.
Is the quality from it really makes big compact compared with other brands even if they are the same mx switches?
Edit: Hmm I mean the typing feel.
*Surf around net, it cost $139 on Amazon  shocking.gif .

Syukurlah Marehsia's ComingSoon™ Filco murah berbanding luar negara.

BTW, the built of a quality indeed can influence the typing feel of the switches.

im quite interested in getting a Filco type keycap with front prints instead of top biggrin.gif

anyone knows where can i get it locally without going thru taobao?

also, 0168257061 how much if i want someone to desolder my MX Cherry Brown and replace with Blues? smile.gif

IINM, heavyarm do sell 37keys set, but the price... rolleyes.gif

I suggest you to get a new blue switch board instead of mod your current board. It will be easier, safer and may even be cheaper. Getting 104 new blue switches alone can easily cost over RM150 already. Ppl only mod the switches if the mod is worth it (such as on custom boards or gaming boards which don't have a particular switch type). If you only want to do it on a few key then it do make a little more sense.

P/S: Ahem, take a look at 016xxxxxxx's siggy.

Then it must be imitation switches to be so cheap. I might consider it as my FPS keyboard.

I believe getting an Alps switch board at around the same price may be wiser.

But if you are the type of DIY person, you can actually get it and also some 2nd hand dummy boards to salvage the switch and get yourself a Cherry MX board by combining both.

Yeah, I'm very much aware of the similarities with the Rapoo v7 which comes with yellow (!) switches.
What's the difference between Cherry and Alps? Got any links so that I can compare prices?

And why would I want to salvage just the switches? Is there a problem with the keyboard in general that makes it unsuitable?
*
Generally, mechanical switches out there are either of below (and also topre),
Genuine Cherry (MX and ML, but ML NFC)
Cherry Clone Switch
Alps (some ppl say it is actually clone of old switch, but since the old one is long gone, we just generalize all as Alps)

The first 2 is similar in term of specs, shapes, designs and so on. The different is just durability and reliability.

Thats why, you can swap out fake switch and replace with genuine Cherry switch.
